Folks, it ain't that hard - just listen to the damn song! He says it in the song! I don't understand why so many people get confused on this point...

Jim Steinman, the song's writer, knew people would have a hard time understanding what 'that' meant based on the song's construction. You're team loaf, I'm team Steinman. Is what it is.

Jim Steinman, who wrote the song, thought fans might be stumped by the refrain - which he had actually recycled from the Bonnie Tyler song Getting So Excited.

"When we were recording it, Jim brings up the thing - he says, 'People aren't gonna know what that is,'" Meat Loaf recalled in 2014.

"I said, 'Of course they are. How can they not know?' He goes, 'They're not gonna.'"

Steinman was proved right.

Linky.

Well, rats.

Bat Out of Hell was my warm-up album prior to races. Didn't make sense, didn't need to. Wasted Youth is still on my playlist when I lift.
