Questions About Lyrics

[sadchild]

He answers it at the end of the song

Sooner or later you'll be screwin' around

I won't do that. No, I won't do that

In other words, he says all along he'll do anything for love (having a loving relationship) but he won't just bang someone else for love (sex) and risk that relationship.

If that is what Meat Loaf "won't do," why didn't he say so on that episode of Storytellers?

 

[HecticArt]

That guy would do anything for lunch!
Am I right?

 

[Channel98]

Gary Owens, longtime (1961-2007) Los Angeles disc jockey and Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In announcer, said one time, "Here is a fun game you can play: Substitute 'lunch' for 'love' in song titles, such as Lunch Is Blue or All You Need Is Lunch."

How did Mister Hectic know???

If that is what Meat Loaf "won't do," why didn't he say so on that episode of Storytellers?

Probably because Jim Steinman wrote the song, not Meat Loaf.

This seems like a good place to put this category of songs, which I call "WTF Are They Talking About?". Each one of these fails to mention what they keep referencing in the song.

I hope he figures out the right thing to do to her again. Just don't do any of that other stuff.

Captain & Tennille - Do That To Me One More Time

 

[Madison]

She got divorced from the Captain. I always found that amazing given the songs they released. Must of had a business marriage

Unlike this duo from Nashville that are married to other people but look married in this cute video.

 

[Channel98]

Several country songs have "damn" in the title. The two biggest are Scotty McCreery's Damn Strait and Brooks & Dunn's Damn Drunk. Brantley Gilbert's new single, Good Damn, was officially released today. The word "damn" appears 11 times in the song. I wonder if country stations in Utah will play it.

Must of had a business marriage

I did their band bio on genius.com. This is how it ends:

The duo remained married until 2014 with Tennille telling Billboard in 2016, “I’ve never felt loved by him” and stating she stayed in the marriage because she “didn’t want to let the fans down”. Captain passed away in early 2019 with Tennille at his side.

Must of had a business marriage

That, and also it's "must have".

John Geils never got the memo.

That's what they call artistic license.

Me too

I must have got lost

I made one dumb mistake in middle school and it followed me until I moved to FL and lost track of those guys.



I thought (in 6th grade at dinner with the boys after JV hoops practice) they were saying "Do you believe in mail calls". Oh boy sharing that was a bad idea. Hahahahah.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

What are mail calls?


This song:



They are visionaries predicting the red iPhone. iPhones didn't exist until 2007. Red ones not til much later. Song came out in 1987.

(actual lyric is radar phone. WTF is that?)
