Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) 1993

"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a song written by Jim Steinman, and recorded by American rock singer Meat Loaf. The song was released in August 1993 as the first single from the singer's sixth album, Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell (1993). The last six verses features English singer Lorraine Crosby, who was credited only as "Mrs. Loud" in the album notes. While visiting the label's recording studios on Sunset Boulevard, Crosby was asked by her manager Steinman to provide guide vocals for Meat Loaf, who was recording the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". Cher, Melissa Etheridge and Bonnie Tyler were considered for the role. The song was a commercial success, however as Crosby had recorded her part as guide vocals, she did not receive any payment for the recording but she receives royalties from PRS. Crosby did not appear in the Michael Bay-directed music video, where model Dana Patrick mimed her vocals. Meat Loaf promoted the single with American vocalist Patti Russo performing the live female vocals of this song at his promotional appearances and concerts.

The power ballad was a commercial success, reaching number one in 28 countries. The single was certified platinum in the US and became Meat Loaf's first and only number one and top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100. It also became Meat Loaf's first and only number one single on the UK Singles Chart, and was the best-selling single of 1993 in the UK. The song earned Meat Loaf a Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.

American film director and producer Michael Bay directed the accompanying music video for "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". The cinematographer was Daniel Pearl, particularly known for filming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in 1973. Pearl says that this video "is one of my personal all-time favorite projects… I think the cinematography is pure, and it tells a story about the song." The video is based on Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera. Bob Keane did Meat Loaf's make-up, which took up to two hours to apply. The make-up was designed to be simple and scary, yet "with the ability to make him sympathetic." The shoot went over budget, and was filmed in 90 °F (32 °C) heat, across four days. The video, which was the abridged seven-minute version of the song rather than the twelve-minute album version, was put into heavy rotation on MTV.

Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles included Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulson in Fight Club (1999).

"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" received a total of 77,7% yes votes!

Possibly it's because I've been listening to it on repeat for two days straight now but I'm increasingly convinced that the narrator of bat out of hell by meat loaf is trapped in a time loop

So since the Custodes have canonical access to modern human cultural material it is in fact totally plausible for Bayezara to be playing whatever cheesy music is appropriate for riding a motorcycle down from space

Shield-Captain Valerian: So according to heretical M2 theologian Inmanuel Kant-

Shield-Captain Bayezara: I’M GONNA HIT HIGH ORBIT LIKE A BATTERING RAM ON A GOLDEN-BLACK ANTIGRAV BIKE

Valerian: In terms of the Categorical Imperative-

Baezara: CAUSE THE METAL IS HOT, AND THE ENGINE IS HUNGRY, AND YOU’RE ALL ABOUT TO SEE THE LIGHT

i think, fundamentally, seeing a lot of valenwind relegated to “crackship” is so wild after being in these trenches for almost 15 years now considering how much subtext characterization we get with cid and vincent, especially from vincent.

vincent categorically doesn’t really say a whole awful lot, and trends towards being absurdly unhelpful/cryptic in certain circumstances. he’s semi-formal, uses wry humor sparingly, clings to the fringes of the group.

it is specifically when cid is involved, multiple times in the original game, where Vincent will just randomly use a nickname for him, consistantly check in on him, outright admits to admiring him at least twice, and admits to fighting by his side because it’s all he can give. dirge (i have my dirge defence preloaded) canonizes the two of them being drinking buddies between the two year gap— a time period where vincent was actively getting into scrapes with OTHER MEMBERS of avalanche (otwtas mention, your mileage may vary).

save for the novel, all of these interactions are in the games, and are exceptional examples of the sort of way that vincent defers to teammates and communicates with others. relegating it to just the hotel scene or standing next to eachother feels fundamentally crazysauce to me. there are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see or whatever
