• In five short minutes, this song takes all the teenage emotions of lust, love, and angst and delivers them to the listener in the lines “You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining, I was dying just to ask for a taste”. What an absolutely perfect lyric. That said, the album “Bat Out Of Hell” is pure fluff, fun fluff but with nothing truly interesting to say. I have always viewed this album as parody, particularly of Springsteen from that era whose “epic” numbers on “Born to Run” always seemed so contrived and pretentious. In that light, Meatloaf’s parody is hysterical fun and Bruce comes off as a poser.
