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

Misheard Lyrics Story:

"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!".

And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me

Repetitive Lyrics:

"Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)"
The Repetitive Lyrics:
And into the fire! fire! fire! And into the fire! fire! fire!

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Objects in the Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer.."
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And objects in the rear view mirror
may appear closer than they are
(which, by the way, is the full title of the song; it wouldn't fit entirely in the song name field)
Why They're Nonsensical:
The song and story is about a man who has gone through some depressing and difficult times and how he has buried those feelings. And although a great amount of time has passed, those feelings are nearer to your present state of mind than you might think. However, there are two problems with using these lines to describe this. One, the quote the way it is given in the song, although makes no sense to the story. If things appear closer than they are, it means that you are aware of how close the pain is but it, in reality, isn't really that close. And two, if you read the outside mirror of your car the correct phrase is 'objects in the rearview mirror may be closer than they appear' which would actually have made the song make 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:

"I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"

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

Insulting Lyrics:

"Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"
The Insulting Lyrics:
I want you,
I need 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.

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!

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.
