What was it that Meat Loaf wouldn't do?
And while we're on the subject of crap American popstars... Shania Twain. She don't impress me much.

I think it was 'that'. Shania Twain's song was written in direct response to Meatloaf's.
ReplyDeleteI think.
Shania Twain is Canadian, so blame them. :)
ReplyDeleteBlame Canada!?!?
ReplyDeleteSo we're dragging those nice Southpark folks into this now, are we?
btw: In tech terms, TWAIN stands for Technology Without An Interesting Name. Make what you will of this.
C'mon Annie, two out of three ain't bad :-)
ReplyDeleteThere goes my theory that all the best musicians are Canadian. Cowboy Junkies, Alanis Morisette, Leonard Cohen... erm, Celine Dion.
ReplyDeleteGod, I know this.
ReplyDeleteVery end of the song, the woman sings
"sooner or later, you'll be screwing around"
to which Meat responds
"No I won't do that"
QED. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill myself.
When we were wee bairns, we would change the lyrics to, "I would do anything for grub, but I won't eat that"
ReplyDeleteWhich didn't work, because there's nothing Meatloaf wouldn't eat. HIS NAME IS MEATLOAF, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
it was Shania Twain that he wouldn't do....
ReplyDeleteLollerskates
ReplyDeletei wonder would he eat celine dion?
ReplyDeleteyou'd get serious indigestion because her heart would go on and on
Yes, and as everyone knows, rain on your wedding day isn't ironic at all. It's just that you planned it for february on the west coast of Ireland.
ReplyDelete"That" = up the bum. Loaf's girl wanted to stick a finger in but it made him feel "gay". Direct quote.
ReplyDeleteWell that's what I THOUGHT it was! But I didn't like to say because I thought maybe I was just projecting my own preferences onto old Meaty.
ReplyDeleteThis is the funniest thread ever.
ReplyDeleteBut I gotta disagree with you lot on one point: i love meatloaf (the singer and the entree). too bad he's such a prude. He doesn't know what he's missing.
Actually as far as I know the song was about Jim Steinman and his dying mother. The That in question was pull the plug which his mother wanted him to do. The song was later changed a bit to make it more of a traditional boy-girl lovesong. Of course I could be wrong
ReplyDelete"But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
ReplyDeleteAnd I would do anything for love, but I won't do-oo that, no I won't do-oo that"
he wrote that about his dying mother..... sick bastard...
"All the way" could refer to any number of things. "All the way through with the euthanasia", "All the way to Llandudno on the number 79 bus" etc.
ReplyDeletegiven the choice between euthanasia and taking the number 79 all the way to Llandudno, well, that's an easy one, innit?
ReplyDeletePlease don't blame us Canadians for her.
ReplyDeleteWe think she's crap too...and Celene Dion? We're all very glad she's moved to Vegas...
... Joni Mitchell, KD Lang, Neil Young ... erm, Nellie Furtado...
ReplyDelete...Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Jane Siberry, Crash Test Dummies, erm, Bryan Adams...
ReplyDelete...Tragically Hip, Sarah Harmer, Rheostatics, Stars, errrr....Avril Lavigne...
ReplyDeleteHi, Annie.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian Government has already apologized for Bryan Adams on more than one occasion.
They have not, however, shown any remorse whatsoever for sending us Shatner.
nobody mentioned Glenn Gould!
ReplyDeleteAnd while we are here, what exactly is "a total eclipse of the heart".
ReplyDeleteIt's when once upon a time there was light in your life, but now there's only love in the dark, for example.
ReplyDeleteHi Coho. Shatner, Shatner... the name is familiar.
yeah, but alex trebeck kinda makes up for shatner. sort of like a yin-yan thing.
ReplyDeleteooh goodie, now I need to know: what way do the Backstreet Boys want it? (I know, I know, it's THAT way, but once again . . .)
ReplyDeleteThey really really really wanna zig-a-zig-ah
ReplyDeleteSadly he wouldn't kill himself.
ReplyDelete"What was it that Meat Loaf wouldn't do?"
ReplyDeleteCome out with a decent song, apparently.
Shania Twain is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the nicest thing I have to say about her. ;)
I'm not finding this post funny at all??
ReplyDeleteCan it Shania
ReplyDeleteHey Twattie!!
ReplyDeleteBlnking not easy for the hairy one now - nearest internet access is 50mins away in my carbon-shitting monster...
ANyway, about your no sex thing - me and arna went thru a strange couple of weeks - but we woke up one sunday morning and suddenly fancied eachother more than we ever had!!!?? Strange.
So, keep that in mind.
Bless bless x
Mmmm, meatloaf - i need a burgur...
...Martha Wainwright... the New Pornographers... Junior Boys... Destroyer...I mean, crikey, Broken Social Scene, erm...Arcade bleeding Fire?*
ReplyDeleteAlso, this thread made me laugh a lot.
* Only joking.
I don't mind kissing but, hate thah
ReplyDeleteOooh, oooh, oooh, ah, yeah! And no one has mentioned Whitney Houston yet.
ReplyDeleteWhitney Houston is American. Or do you mean she won't take it up the bum?
ReplyDeleteWhitney Houston, not right, but it's ok. Better than Steps... Better best forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would take to impress Shania Twain. I know a rocket scientist, and he can be quite impressive at times. Plus I once saw Guy Ritchie and almost walked into Russell Crowe. Suffice to say both times I was quite impressed. Now I'm guessing that both of those are slightly less impressive to a mid-forties ex-cheerleader than Brad Pitt, and yet the perfect teeth from Ontario (Wikipedia is your friend...) is not impressed by Angelia's latest babysitter. Who would she be impressed by? Isambard Kingdom Brunel? Socrates? Russell T Davis?
So you resurrected a sci-fi classic, put Billie Piper's daft eyebrows back in the public spotlight, and created a spin off series full of ambiguous sexuality and naff special effects. That don't impress me much...
On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the gold barclaycard?
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved that whole album.....
Happy days.....
