Up to the end of the '60s,

tailor-made suit sales measured 4.5 million.

Then sales wavered, as the British male changed his mind,

and became much more like a woman in the way he did his shopping.

He started to buy his clothes off the peg.

No more were they made to measure.

Then he broke out of his uniform grey suit

into a different garb for every occasion.

Coloured sports coats, leathers, casual shirts,

cords, wind cheaters, bomber jackets and especially jeans.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Golden Age of rock and roll.

# Everybody hazy, shell-shocked, crazy

# Screaming for the face at the window

# Jeans for the genies

# Dresses for the dreamies

# Fighting for a place in the front row

# Ohh-ho

-It's good for your body

-# It's good for your soul

-Ohh-ho, ohh-ho, let's go

# Guitars getting higher and higher

# The dude in the paint thinks he's going to faint

# Stoke more coke on the fire

# Got to stay young You can never grow old

# Ohh-ho

# Ohh-ho-woo, ohh-ho

# It's the golden age of rock and roll

# The golden age of rock and roll will never die

# As long as children feel the need to laugh and cry

# Don't want to smash want a smash sensation

# Don't want to wreck just recreation

# Don't want to fight but if you turn us down

# We're going to turn you around going to mess with the sound

# The show's got to move everybody groove

# There ain't no trouble on the streets now

Tonight on the programme, we've got Meat Loaf. Around three months ago

we had their Bat Out Of Hell film on the programme

and it's true to say it brought in more response

than almost anything else during the whole series so far.

The LP came out here at the beginning of the year.

It was produced by Todd Rundgren

and tonight gives us a second chance to have a good look at the band

that's had such an impact during the first few months of 1978 -

Meat Loaf and Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

# I remember every little thing

# As if it happened only yesterday

# Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight

# And I never had a girl looking any better than you did

# And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night

# And our bodies were oh-so-close and tight

# It never felt so good it never felt so right

# And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

# Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

# Come on! Hold on tight!

# Come on! Hold on tight!

# BOTH: Though it's cold and lonely in the deep, dark night

# I can see paradise by the dashboard light

# Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed

# Cos we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed

# Ain't no doubt about it

# Baby, got to go and shout it

# Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed

# Cos we were barely 17 and we were barely dressed

# Oh, baby, don't you hear my heart

-# You got it drowning out the radio

-Sha-sha-shoo, sha-sha-shoo

# I've been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun

# Sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-shoo

# And I got to let you know no, you're never going to regret it

# Sha-sha-shoo, sha-sha-shoo

# So open up your eyes

# I got a big surprise It'll feel all right

# Well, I want to make your motor run

# Our bodies are oh-so-close and tight

# It never felt so good, it never felt so right

# And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

# Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

# Come on! Hold on tight!

# Come on! Hold on tight!

# Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

# I can see paradise by the dashboard light

# Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

# Oh, oh, in the deep dark night

# Paradise by the dashboard light

# You got to do what you can

# And let Mother Nature do the rest

# Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed

# Cos we were barely 17 and we were barely...

# Gonna go all the way tonight

# We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night

# Gonna go all the way tonight

# We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night

# Gonna go all the way tonight, gonna go all the way, tonight's the night

# Gonna go all the way tonight

# We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night. #

Oh, baby.

Hey, Karla! Sweetheart.

Karla, me and you, sweetheart...

..we been going out now for...

for a real...

long...

time.

You know what I mean?

I mean a real...

long...

time.

Know what I mean?

You know where I'm coming from, sweetheart?

Huh?

Me and you,

a real long time.

And I think you know what I mean.

Do you know what I mean?!

OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here.

Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth.

There's the wind-up, and there it is, a line shot up the middle.

Look at him go. This boy can really fly!

He's rounding first and really turning it on now.

He's not letting up at all, he's going to try for second.

The ball is bobbled out in centre, here comes the throw

and what a throw! He's going to slide in-head first. Here he comes.

He's out! No, wait, safe! Safe at second base.

This kid really makes things happen out there.

Batter steps up to the plate. Here's the pitch, and he's going

and what a jump he's got! He's trying for third. Here's the throw.

It's in the dirt, safe at third!

Holy cow, stolen base!

He's taking a big lead, almost daring them to pick him off.

The pitcher glances over,

winds up, and it's bunted down the third-base line.

The suicide squeeze is on!

Here he comes, squeeze play. It's going to be close.

Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate.

Holy cow, I think he's going to make it!

# Stop right there!

# I got to know right now

# Before we go any further do you love me?

# Will you love me forever? Do you need me?

# Will you never leave me?

# Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

# Will you take me away and will you make me your wife? Do you love me?

# Will you love me forever? Do you need me?

# Will you never leave me?

# Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

# Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

# I got to know right now

# Before we go any further do you love me?

# Will you love me forever?

# Let me sleep on it

# Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

# Let me sleep on it

# I'll give you an answer in the morning

# Let me sleep on it

# Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

# Let me sleep on it

# I'll give you an answer in the morning

# Let me sleep on it

# Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

# Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

# Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

# I got to know right now!

# Before we go any further do you love me?

# And will you love me forever? #

What's it going to be, boy?

Come on. I can wait all night.

What's it going to be, boy? Yes or no?

What's it going to be, boy?

Yes?

Or no?

Ah... ah, ah, ah...

# Let me sleep on it

# Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

# Let me sleep on it

# I'll give you an answer in the morning

# Before we go any further do you love me?

# And will you love me forever?

-# Well, let me sleep on it

-Will you love me forever?

-# Let me sleep on it

-Will you love me forever?

# I couldn't take it any longer Lord, I was crazed

# And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave

# I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave

# I would love you to the end of time

# I swore I would love you to the end of time

# So now I'm praying for the end of time

# To hurry up and arrive

# Cos if I got to spend another minute with you

# I don't think that I can really survive

# I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

# But God only knows what I can do right now

# I'm praying for the end of time

-# It's all that I can do!

-Do! Do!

# Praying for the end of time

# So I can end my time with you! #

I'm so sick of you, I could spew up!

You already did, fat boy.

Aw, shut up!

# It was long ago and it was far away

# It was so much better than it is today

# It was long ago and it was far away

-# Never felt so good, felt so right

-So much better than it is today

# Glowing like metal on the edge of a knife

# It never felt so good it never felt so right

# Glowing like metal on the edge of a knife

-# Long ago and it was far away

-It never felt so good it never felt so right

# It was so much better than it is today

# It was long ago and it was far away. #

Hey, you know what? You know what I'm taking?

I'm taking the colour TV!

Oh, yeah? Well, I'm taking the Volkswagen!

You can have that little fat thing! You know what I'm taking?

The AM/FM radio!

Oh, well, I'm taking the baby!

Oh, yeah? Well, I got you there, baby. We ain't got no baby, you fool!

I'll get one, you big lug!

One of these days!

I can't take it!

I can't take it any more!
