80. The suicide squeeze is on!

80. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf

Sheldon is the reason I still like this song so much. I have a vivid memory of Sheldon laughing about these lines at the end of the song:

I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time
So I can end my life with you!

Besides the memory of Sheldon, I still find the entire original video of the song to be entertaining, but it's the end of the song where Meat Loaf's rock-opera acting skills really shine.




"Bat Out of Hell" is a classic rock album, and so much different from everything else that was coming out in the late 70s. But out of all the songs on the album, this song is the best. In fact, I'd say that "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is, without a doubt, one of the very best in all of rock 'n' roll.



(If you didn't watch the video to the very end, you need to go back and watch it. Why? Because it is, without a doubt, one of the very best in all of rock 'n' roll.)

Am I the only one that is a bit creeped out by Meat's groping of the lady during the baseball play-by-play? And am I the only one that thinks the older he is, the creepier it gets? When I watched the baseball part of the video below, I found myself wondering when the Dateline guy was going to show up.



I can't believe he grabs her like that! Who does he think he is? The President?!

Speaking of going almost all the way, here's somebody else that Meatloaf groped.



Poor Mitt. After that performance by Meat Loaf, there was no way he was going to win. You just couldn't get elected President in 2012 without the Pro-Busey vote.



But as with everything else that was upside-down about the 2016 election, Meat's endorsement helped carry the election for the Donald. Meat Loaf loves Trump, and Trump loves Meat Loaf!



The Donald actually let Martha touch his meatloaf!

Yet another reason why Melania is praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive.
