HILARIOUS!!..| FIRST TIME HEARING Meatloaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light (Reaction) 

I am impressed. Very few reactors get the message behind the fun lines and back and forth that makes you laugh. The message is still serious - don't let your hormones make your life long decisions. This is one of my favorites songs from him. He has a bunch which I am sure others will recommend.

This was one of your best reactions Empress! The noise you made after she says they were barely seventeen and barely dressed and when the baseball references were made! Your laugh is contagious! Amazing song and a fabulous reaction! Thank you for this Empress!

When I met my wife and I first stepped into her car the only music she had in there was a meatloaf cassette. I knew right then she was right for me. 60 years old now Had our children And just had our third grandchild & we still listen to meatloaf.

You are one of few people who reacted to this song who did understand that they got married in this song and that both regretted it later. Really enjoyed your reaction to this song.

This is the song that proves sometimes a one-night stand should be just that. They are in lust with each other until they give in and do the deed. Then they are married and hate each other. LOVE your reaction! You are so real!

You nailed the meaning of the song and how it was delivered PERFECTLY. Best analysis and reaction to this song in history. Period!!!!!! Thanks again for sharing this wonderful song with us all 😎

Loved your reaction. It is a classic. Young "love" and the consequences of committing too soon, Great story, great performance.

Classic LOVE-masterpiece by Meatloaf , what a stageperformer this guy was. R.I.P. peace Xx

It's good to see people who get the humor of it. That's the whole point. Good singing also.

You should check out “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” - Meat Loaf, another tremendous song from the genius of Jim Steinman. Nice reaction, one of the very best. 👍🏻 R.I.P. Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman, your music shall entertain as long as there are recordings and film. 🙏

I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday AKA Meatloaf, your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the memories.

He has such great stage presense and enunciation because he came from musical theatre. Truly a great, great performer.

Some of Meatloaf's music had comedic elements and satire embedded in the lyrics. His rock opera style reminds me so much of the glam opera rock of Queen and a few others made popular in the 1970's, though Meatloaf often infused 50/60's old school rock beats.

I read something similar to this on another reaction.... consider the style of the music at the beginning... 50/60's early rock.... it was very taboo for a girl to give up her virginity or have a child out of wedlock. But she is feeling like time is ticking (though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night). He is likely a virgin too.... and is anxious to move beyond it... The play by play is the euphemism of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd base and ultimately going all the way "home run'. She stopped him, and really forced him to either pledge his love to her, or nothing was going to happen. ...teenage hormones, but she was still concerned about her reputation. He relented and pledged his vow to her... they did the deed and got married to fulfill the vow.... now fast forward... last chorus, the music was a different style, more 70's rock... they are now 15 or so years into a loveless marriage.... praying for the end of time... as the song fades... they are both reminiscing about their youth... for him 'It was long ago, and far away, so much better than it is today' and her 'it never felt so good, never felt so right, glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife'.

A classic that will always be in our hearts

Music from my teen youth. Meat Loaf and “Bat out of Hell” were regulars at our parties together with a 12-pack of beers. Ahhh, those was the days 🤗 “We’re gonna go all the way tonight, and tonights the night” 🥖💦 By the way, you pretty one, you really should make a reaction to Gerry Rafferty doing “Baker Street”. One of the best songs to get out of the 70’s. A pure classic.

Your best reaction so far!❤❤ Had me in stitches Meat Loaf was one of the best performers, ever. Ellen Foley's come back vocals are a perfect foil for Meat's singing too. Jim Steinman's (RIP too) OTT writing and production is spot on RIP Meat Loaf

This is the beauty of "Rock Opera." Watching the reaction as the lyrics to this song sink in is one of my minor joys in life. I bought the album this is from when I was 12. I didn't understand it at the time, but as my life progressed and as this song kept making its way to my cassettes and CDs and digital downloads, it became a lot clearer. But that was long ago, and it was far away.

Perfect analysis!

RIP Meat 💓 RIP Jim Steinman, writer. Karla Devito, Brilliant!!! Singer, performer, actress. Both Legends, Immortal Geniuses.

#MeatLoaf's musical legacy is unmatched... #MeatLoaf is, has been and will be a legend... The vocal range he had was unique... #MeatLoaf is and will be one in a million... The vocal range of three octaves made him unique in his performances on stage and in his videos... Rest in peace dear #MeatLoaf you will always live in our hearts.

You have a laugh as great as your smile! 🥰 You should probably listen to the whole album this is from: Bat Out of Hell. It was on high rotation when I was a teen!

Incredible tune and incredible reaction! Hahahah so fun, so funny. :) RIP Meatloaf, you are already missed.

We lost a good one in Meatloaf. He always brought a lot of stage presence to each of his performances. He got a big boost to his early career by being in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and that is where a lot of people he theatrics came from. Will miss him and R.I.P.

You are one of the first people I've seen that realized that they both were "praying for the end of time." Enough regret here to go around for everyone. It is also one of the cleverest, funniest, memories of my youth songs and the performances of all time too!

Both of them fabulous!! Great song!! Your laugh was epic!! I’ve never seen you laugh so hard!!! 🤣 You just made my day my friend!! 😊🌹🌹🌹

Thank you for getting Meatloaf's humor😂 Too many people miss it

he's one of the best singers of all time RIP Meatloaf !!!

OMG 🤣🤣🤣 I'm laughing so hard with you - at your shock - to his response 🤣🤣 love your genuine reactions 💕

You are one of the first to get this song straight away! Your reaction was perfect. This is one of the funniest songs ever written!

Back in the late 1980's he played at a local club ! I was there with my freinds , I could not breath the place was Jam Packed! He was Totally Awesome R.I.P. MeatLoaf

Ok. I have been a fan of this song since it came out when I was in 5th grade. The music, the theatrics, the metaphors, the message are just great. Sadly, I have watched maybe 20 different people react to it on RU-vid, and you are the first one to get the point and appear to understand all of it, and even see it’s value in your own life. Thank you. I enjoyed watching your reaction.

An absolutely brilliant performance by Mr.Loaf et al..

Of the 30 or so reactions to Meat Loaf songs this was the best. Perceptive, sophisticated and a lot of fun.

Love this song, it came out in 1977 the year I graduated from High School, all of us kids loved it.

One amazing singer, showman and songwriter. Sadly he is no longer with us. RIP Meatloaf you will be missed, but we will keep rocking and loving your songs. You won't be forgotten. 🙏

the fist Music"concert"i ever went to was meat loaf- I was 17 and the first of my friends to have a car- so we all drove out to the Hamptons in february 1987 to see him at some small club called The bay street club. maybe 200 people , very small; venue, But he played every song on Bat out of Hell- he hung out with the fans- such a great Human , he loved his fans. RIP Meat Love- thanks for the memories!

All his videos are like movies. The next one should be I’d Do Anything For Love. It’s kind of a Beauty and the Beast theme but very dramatic!!

I really enjoyed your comments and reactions to this song, which is one of my very favorites.

That was thoroughly enjoyable. Empress, your laugh is absolutely contagious!!! I loved this reaction. Thanks for sharing, RNB

Great reaction to an epic performance !

This is the best reaction to this song I've seen. She listened to the story and understood.

Welcome to the wonderful world of rock opera. Be careful, it's addictive!

EJ-J…ANOTHER GREAT REACTION…This Song was the ‘70’s version of “Single Ladies” (Put a Ring On It), but with a Twist…Meat Loaf told the story of the typical ‘70’s PROM NIGHT in the US, after the dance going parking & making out at “Lover’s Lane”, in this song down by the Lake… For the “Bat Out of Hell” tour, Meat Loaf always the showman, performed live while dressed in a Pale Blue, Black or Red Velvet Prom Tuxedo…In the video, he’s already stripped off his jacket & is down to his Frilly White Tuxedo Shirt..

Empress, I’ve attended more than 3,000 sporting events and have heard the United States national anthem performed at every one of them. By far, the best one was Meatloaf at the 1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Game! Amazing voice! ❤️

Grew up on this music. Meatloaf was great. Your reaction was great.

BTW, I just love your FANTASTIC reaction!!! Of course, your beautiful smile and the exhilarating movement of your sultry eyes also helps me enjoy the reaction of this famous Meatloaf song. I'm positively happy now!!!

Another great video from a young leader for all societies to follow. These reaction videos are amazing. They are bridges to the past that carry just a different message in tone and content. These young people of all colors are doing everything they can to truly change this world for the better. They give me tremendous hope. Thank you

I have been watching reactions for years...that was the single best reaction to a song I have ever seen, ever. Bless your heart...that was perfect. You got every little nuance...ever innuendo...all with English not being your first language...there are no words to express the level of impressed I am. This was awesome....

Moral is...be careful what you wish for. Loved this. You have a beautiful laugh. This song is as ironically funny as it gets

He was a football player in High School and has some theater in his background. He perfected the Rock Opera. He starred in the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. You should check that out... it is fantastic.

Finally someone who understand this song the right way!

Rock In Peace Meat.

Mi Amor!! How does your beauty continue to be Heavenly I am humbled oh Empress!

The Entire Album this us taken from is A Masterpiece of Musical Bombast. TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD will have You in Tears 😍👌

I loved watching reactions of someone hearing this song for the first time.

I've watched several reaction videos for this song. This is one of the best.Thanks.

It’s so fun to watch your response! I’m laughing and crying

Great reaction absolutely loved it

Fun Fact: Featured on 1977's Bat Out Of Hell, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” showcased the vocal talents of singer Ellen Foley(she co-starred in the sitcom Night Court for one season). ...Ellen Foley, who sang on the album, declined to go on the tour. Karla DeVito assumed live performance responsibilities, so the music video was created by syncing the video of DeVito's performance to the audio of Foley's vocals.

I have seen so many music video reactors react to this song but yours has been the BEST reaction by far, Empress JJ!! RIP Marvin (Meatloaf), RIP Jim Steinman who wrote all the songs on this album and played piano on it, as he passed last year. One day you should consider reacting to their epic opus called "For Crying Out Loud"! But honestly every one of the seven songs on this LP are fire! Best to you,

The Meatloaf Movie starring Jack Black, would be sweet. R.I.P Meatloaf a rock legend lost to us. Love your reaction Empress, hope You are well. Peace And Love.

I remember this song chasing people out of the nightclub at closing time. I was hoping never to hear it again so thanks for that! RIP Meatloaf

First time I saw you and you immediately come across as a person with integrity and warmth. So you've really have taken me along with your journey in your emotion and your candor with this song. The empress who did impress.

Welcome to Rock Opera. Meatloaf was one of the greatest. I saw "I'll do anything for love" LIVE once upon a Time but never had the chance to meet him. I highly recommend you check out all of his "Bat out of Hell" Album.

Best reaction ever! Your face when they sang they were praying for the end of time: priceless!

RIP meat loaf

Thought ive seen all your videos... don't know how i missed this one!!!...one of my favorites thanks and rip MLA

Loved watching this performance again

Very nice the way you picked up on the baseball analogy. I was born in “the mid-1900’s (according to TikTok) but it’s nice to see that transcend to a younger generation

Awesome reaction Empress! You really understood the meaning of the song -- it shows in your eyes at the end. It's a song about two people in a failing marriage, reminiscing about how their relationship started. And while the "teenage" part is funny and what many have experienced, the ending is truly sad when you reflect back on it.

This song came out when I was in high school. Still a great classic! RIP Meatloaf 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks Joy, this was a great reaction video.

Spit my drink on the keyboard when she said do you love me and You Empress said she had to ask him that NOW hahaha

You are the first reactor who realized that a lot of time had past between the beginning and the end of the song.

Loved your reaction ❤️. One of the best songs and duetts ever.! Please check out more Meatloaf and Jim Steinman, the mastermind behind a lot of great songs❤️.

The life story of every teenage boy! The promises we make to get that cookie! Lol

He did say he would remember his promise and never break his vow. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. Thank you.

I’ve seen this song reacted to many times but I must say, this one is my very favorite!

Bat out of hell is a great album!!You will love it!!❤🎇🎇🎇

best reaction to this ever

I love this gal. She is perfect for this performance. Pretty woman. Once upon a time we all experienced this very thing. Memories.

Joy Jean: Your comment at the end regarding how your parents acted in your best interests reminded me of the old saying "When I was 18, my father was a fool; but when I was 28, I was amazed by how wise he had become in those ten years! :-)

Great reaction. I hope you do more Meat Loaf songs.

Watching you get emotional over songs I listened to when I was a teenager is oddly valdiating and lovely.

Excellent Reaction Beautiful Woman!! As Always...😘🤘❤

💯 Empress. What a great reaction, including your editing. You nailed it, awesome. Peace/JT

Phil Rizzuto, who did the baseball voice over, was a famous baseball player and legendary play by play announcer. "Holy cow" was his catchphrase. Supposedly he did not know exactly what this was being used for or it's context and was upset when he found out.

Thank you for honoring this great performer and beautiful human being we called Meat Loaf, I loved watching your reaction to this song!

THATS A CLASSIC😎

You did great! Thanx! I was laughing with you to the point of crying!

I was lucky enough to see him twice in concert. The two shows I saw couldn’t have been any more different and I couldn’t have hoped for more. It was the most perfect dichotomy. I grew up on this music, born in 1973, my aunt who is 11 years older than me was my regular babysitter while my mom worked 2-3 jobs. My aunt played Meatloaf, Queen, Joan Jett, Stevie Nicks, and Supertramp for me all of the time, and I never got tired of any of them. When Bat Out of Hell II came out, I was thrilled to get the chance to see Meatloaf…I think I was 21. Anything For Love was topping the charts, so this tour was huge. The concert was larger than life, it was like a broadway production with costume changes and every song was acted out, not just sung. Around 2003, I got to see him again. Meatloaf was no longer topping the charts, but he really never stopped touring, if you watch interviews with him, he needed to perform as much as he needed air and water. Fun fact: he actually had asthma and had to have an oxygen tank waiting as soon as he exited the stage. Anyways, in 2003, it was obviously a smaller production. I saw him at a local tribal casino, small show, small venue, very intimate and beautiful. It was almost like going to an acoustic show. And the cherry on top…singing the part of Ms. Loud was Meatloaf’s daughter, Pearl! I’m so thrilled that I got to see two versions of his concerts that were so opposite, yet both were so perfect. Now, I’m hoping that someday I’ll get to see Bat Out of Hell the Musical. Meatloaf was elated and honored that the art that he created with Jim Steinman was made into a musical.

Great reaction! Mieatloaf was a master of rock theater as you have noticed and his fans know.

Loved this reaction!

Love your reactions and your accent 😍

OMG best reaction ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE this channel !!!!!
