I just made a delicious meatloaf last week, and I thought we were all here to exchange recipes, lol. As for the singer and that song, I always thought he was referring to going downtown. Who knows!

Hey Columbia, what does it sound like when you douche with razor blades?

Thought you were going to compare meatloaf recipes. My boomer mom made the driest, most bland meatloaf - it was her MILs recipe. It had rice in it (?) but the rice was always crunchy. No onions, no bbq sauce or ketchup. Cooked to a solid gray. Mine is way better, and I even make gravy! Crazy.

My mother's secret meatloaf recipe comes off the back of a box of Lipton onion soup. It remains the best meatloaf I've had.

That’s my “secret” ingredient.

Honey, I don't even think Dr. Frank N. Furter wanted to put a finger in Meatloaf's ass...

[-]

primeweevil@reddit

You're right it wasn't a finger Frank N Furter wanted in his Meatloaf.

"Meatloaf" is my safe word. 'cause I will do anything for love, but I won't do that.

[-]

ONROSREPUS@reddit

I won't put rice in my meatloaf.

Unfortunately I have seen it a couple times from different people. You can do a lot to meatloaf but rice? I just won't do that.

Mumchkin@reddit

I don't know, but I can tell you he was a genuinely kind person. I'm the same age as one of his daughters, and our high school's played softball against each other. He actually was a coach for her team.

We had a couple of the girls (on my team) get injured, and even though we had to forfeit, he had two of their players hop in and we just had fun.

Later on, he'd once in a while come through the drive-thru at the fast food place I worked, he always remembered me.

Completely agree. He was my little league baseball coach. He actually did it because he loved it.

[-]

I enjoyed your memories of him. I always thought he was a regular guy like most people and you’ve both confirmed that.

Bob had bitch tits.

One of several favorite, oft-used lines from that movie.

Big, sweating tits. The way you think of God's as big.

MovieSock@reddit

Dude. HE SAYS IN THE SONG what he wouldn't do:

"I'll never lie to you and that's a fact...

"But I'll never forget the way you feel right now...."

"But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight...."

"But I'll never do it better than I do it with you...."

"But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life...."

Those are all ACTUAL LINES from the song. And at the end when Lorraine Crosby is singing:

"After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on"

He sings back:

"I won't do that".

So what he won't do is:

* lie to her
* forget how she feels
* forgive himself if they don't hook up
* do better than her
* stop dreaming about her
* leave her

Why is this such a mystery to everyone when he SAYS in the song what he won't do?

[-]

Bad-job-dad@reddit

You know it says it in the verses, right. In a nutshell he is says he won't do things that break trust, honesty, or commitment.

Litteraly the first verse:

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, Oh no, no way. And I would do anything for love, But I won't do that No I won't do that

So "that" is that he's not going to forget how he feels.

I'm not going to go through the whole song but there's more. He just doesn't directly say it in the chorus and we all too lazy/dumb/incapable to see past the hook.

Just Listen to the song. It's right there in the lyrics.

[-]

maroongrad@reddit

sooner or later you'll be screwing around

I won't do that. Noo ooo, I won't do THAT.

[-]

Hippie-chick-4ever@reddit

We’ll never really know because now he’s dead 🤷🏼‍♀️ We just know he won’t do “that”.

[-]

BusterBus75@reddit

He'll never lie to you and that's a fact. He'll never forget the way you feel right now.

Basically, he's saying he will never do all the things he says he won't do prior to when he says I want to do that.

[-]

OtakuTacos@reddit

Let him explain it…

[-]

Lowmain_nvrbasicXer@reddit

I had a long conversation with him (mentally) based on this question. He said and I quote, “That.” 😉

[-]

rbrumble@reddit

That.

[-]

gbr1976@reddit

This is the correct answer.

[-]

AussieGirl27@reddit

That

[-]

RetiredPoPo10-8@reddit

"That" must've been something pretty serious

Wow, that’s cool as hell. But old af? I can see if you worked on Bat out of Hell in ‘79. Your balls probably don’t even sag past your knees. (or your tits if you’re a woman)

OisinDebard@reddit

It specifically says in the lyrics what he won't do. And I don't mean "That". If you listen to the lyrics, it's pretty clear what "That" is. I never understood why people questioned this.

that. he won't do that.

[-]

Princess_Parabellum@reddit

Shower? He always looked greasy to me.

[-]

llbellenow@reddit

It’s in the lyrics. There’s something in each verse that he won’t do, like lie to her or forget her or cheat on her, etc. Basically, he won’t do bad things in the relationship because she’s the one for him & he’s expressing his loyalty to her.

[-]

Flat_6_Theory@reddit

So it’s like the Meatloaf version of a Rick Roll.

Stoner--9@reddit

I saw him in story tellers. It's the end of the line of the verse above.

And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, Oh no, no way. And I would do anything for love, But I won't do that No I won't do that

In this example, he'll never forget the way you feel right now

[-]

slade797@reddit

He would write the same shitty song over and over again, if that helps.

[-]

allegate@reddit

He didn’t write that, Jim Steinman did.

God I could write this like the lyric…

Meatloaf would do anything for love, but he didn’t write that, oh no

[-]

MaximumJones@reddit

He won't do that.

He made it very clear that THAT was off limits.

[-]

acceptablemediocrity@reddit

That! He won't do That!
