In my biweekly journey to the library this week, I came across this artist that I have not heard since....well, probably 1994. The last time he had a hit. Needless to say, I snatched up the CD quickly and rushed home to share in the joy with my unsuspecting husband. He apparently does not have the same fond tween years as I did driving around in the rusted out pinto (I wasn't driving as I was not old enough to drive yet) and blasting out a little bit of this guy. He has to be one of the greatest artists of the 1990s. He would be the T.I. of my life today. And now for the video. Stick around for all 5:41 of it. It will be the best five minutes you have ever spent in music...today...or in the early 90s. Does anyone else share in this enthusiasm? I'm going to guess no as most of my friends groan when I get control of the radio or iTunes options. Well, for what it's worth, here you have it. It doesn't get better than this.
Love the hair Meatloaf. Love it.

Haha. He's so gross! Seriously, what was he thinking with that hair? Or that name? Gross. Big hair: in. Stringy hair? Out. Way out, Meatloaf.. way way out...
Meatloaf. Doesn't that name just scream Overweight, middle age white guy who lives in his parents basement playing dungeons and dragons and rocking out to the greatest hits of Guns and Roses? Hmm. Just saying.
(I still like 80s/90s music though.. Shhhh).
Who is T.I.? I'm out of the loop. I'm so uncool. I should change MY name to meatloaf. Wa wa...
Oh, and I totally listened to the whole thing. Long live bad music! ;-)
You wont believe me anyways. But I LOVED meatloaf! I still do. I had them on my Ipod that got stolen last year. Forgot about them until now. This may be the only music we have in common! lol. How's baby?
that was the worst 5ish minutes of my life.
Seriously I told myself when I saw the infamous loaf on the video that I would watch the whole thing. SERIOUSLY... how can a guy who got famous for being a singer be FLAT through his whole performance.
And is it just me or was anyone else wondering why the drummer has 2 bass drums. I'm pretty sure NOTHING meatloaf plays would require the podiatric dexterity of a double bass drum set up.
well played though. I enjoyed the trip back to 94 and what a horrible time in music that was :-)
Do you have a name yet for your jellybean? (boy or girl)
I love that you guys watched the whole thing. I can't stop smiling. It makes me feel powerful and manipulative. Although really I didn't want you to miss the end. It's the best. The passion, the drama, the flat awful notes, the big haired lady. Love it.
