Band Name Origins:

  • Meat Loaf was given that nickname as a child from a gym teacher in his school. I read that from a book of band name origins. Submitted by: Nick Mancini
  • The actual complete band name is "Meat Loaf and the Neverland Express." "Meat Loaf" is Marvin Aday's (Meat Loaf) childhood nickname that his alcoholic father called him to tease Meat about his weight. The "Neverland Express" part deals with Meat's songwriter, Jim Steinman, and how he's obsessed with Peter Pan and the idea of Neverland, including the broadway show "Neverland."

Strange Offspring Names:

  • Pearl - It's not a bad name, just kinda old fashioned. I used to think only grandmas were named Pearl. If she ever becomes a famouse singer herself, maybe the name will come back in vogue. Then again, I haven't met many kids named Meat. Submitted by: cygna vamp

"Paradise By The Dashboard Light"
Misheard Lyrics:
Ah, So!
Original Lyrics:
I swore!

Story about this misheard lyric by: Union City Man

Apparently I wasn't the only person to hear the lyrics this way. I remember back in high school two girls singing the song together and acting it out. Each girl put the palms of her hands together with fingertips pointing upward and bowed as if they were in the Orient when they sang the "I swore" part as, "Ah, So!".

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I would do anything for love,
but I won't do that.
No I won't do that.
Why They're Nonsensical:
What does this mean? what won't the singer do for love? If anyone has the answer, please email me at TheaterFan24601@aol.com. It's a beautiful song, though.
Submitted by: Erika
"I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is not Nonsensical, as told by 'Raevin Angel.' Meat Loaf, when saying 'but I won't do that', 'that' refers to whatever he says the line before each chorus. For example: 'I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life... I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that.' In this, 'that' refers to the fact that he'll never stop dreaming of her every night of his life. This is how that line does, in fact, make complete sense.

Insincere Lyrics:

"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"
The Insincere Lyrics:
I want you. I need you.
But there is no way that I am ever going to love you.
Why They're Insincere:
Well, if you don't love her, it will not be a good relationship then.
Submitted by: Daniel L
"I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"
The Insincere Lyrics:
I would do anything for love

Why They're Insincere:
Well, what is it, anything or just part of it?

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"All Revved Up With no Place to Go"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I was out on the prowl down by the edge of the track.
Like a son of a jackal I'm the leader of the pack.
Why They're Misrhymed:
E-man has got it wrong. He reckons 'son of a jackal' is supposed to rhyme (poorly) with 'leader of the pack'. But go back to the previous line: 'down by the edge of the track'. 'Track' and 'pack' rhyme perfectly. If we're going to be pedantic, let's at least be accurate!
Submitted by: Wabbit
"All Revved Up With No Place To Go"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
And like the son of a Jackel
I'm the leader of the pack
Why They're Misrhymed:
He tries to do it by only mumbling the last two letters of jackel but it just doesn't work
Submitted by: E-man

Insulting Lyrics:

"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"
The Insulting Lyrics:
I want you,
I need you,
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you.
Why They're Insulting:
He tells the woman that not only does he not love her, but "there ain't no way" he ever will. Ouch.

Dirty Lyrics:

"Paradise by the dashboard light"
The Dirty Lyrics:
Ain't no doubt about it

Super Long Pop Songs:

"Paradise By The Dashboard Light" Length: 8:28
Very nicely done, Mr. Loaf. Combines nostalgia, the promise of making love, and a little regret over the union. He even throws in a baseball announcement as a metaphor.
Submitted by: Brian Kelly
"I'd Do Anything for Love (but I Won't Do That)" Length: 11:59
I heard that this song was the longest song to hit the #1 spot in the states, but I misheard the length as 7 minutes, and I thought "American Pie" had also hit #1, but the length of the Meat Loaf song is 11, not 7, minutes! More like 12!

He can't seem to express the love to his woman that he's with and this is the same thing that happened to him as well, but it was another woman telling him.

Performers with Handicaps:

"Color Blind"
According to his autobiography, Meat Loaf has trouble distinguishing red from green.
Submitted by: cygna vamp

Hidden Tracks:

"Mercury Blues"
About 2 minutes after "Forever Young" on the Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself album, Meat sings this heart wrenching (yeah, right) ballad about the love a man has for his car. I found it when I was making a video for a computer animation class.
