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?
aut0po31s1s@reddit
Don't let your meat loaf.
Fyreflyre1@reddit
Have you heard the song?
CatRiot2020@reddit
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.
CatRiot2020@reddit
That’s my “secret” ingredient.

I've always assumed she wanted to put a finger in his ass
DenverBowie@reddit
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.
ComesInAnOldBox@reddit
"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.
Training_Respect@reddit
Is that a THING? never heard of it
ONROSREPUS@reddit
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.

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.
Chad_Hooper@reddit
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.
DenverBowie@reddit
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.

Haha. I was 50/50. I clicked because are we talking recipes and comfort foods or Paradise by the Dashboard Lights and 2 Outta Three Ain’t Bad?? I am a fan of both. lol

I won't listen to that fkn song again, no I won't do that.
DryFoundation2323@reddit
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
filmAF@reddit
i'm so old, one of my first jobs in the film industry was a meatloaf video directed by michael bay!
415erOnReddit@reddit
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)
aran_maybe@reddit
Or if your name is Robert Paulson
RetiredPoPo10-8@reddit
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.
Diasies_inMyHair@reddit

sd_glokta@reddit
I won't do that... No, I won't do that...

Well That is that and That is what that is.
PoppaBalloon@reddit
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.

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
LuceLeakey@reddit
The story I heard is that he wouldn't do anal play, and wrote an entire song about it. 🤣
SamHandwich0@reddit
Whatever it was that Dr Frankenfurter wanted him to do...apprently sone he froze him with his motorcycle.

Eat Meatloaf.

dperiod@reddit
I can tell you what he will do. Anything for love, that’s what. But no, he won’t do….that.
Icy-Astronaut-9994@reddit
Not sure but I was just thinking about him.
I am making Bat Out of Hell in my Oven right now.
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!
