WCDT Strips 3146 to 3150 (1-5 February 2016)
Zebediah:
Coming soon to a QC strip near you:
"Claire? What's your favorite Meat Loaf song?"
BenRG:
@Zebediah,
Purely FWIW, I'd like it if Claire's mother turned out to be a rocker back in her college days. She still has the leathers to prove it (signed by Lemmy Kilmister, of course). Claire has... borrowed them on occasion for when she's supporting Marten at Deathmole gigs.
Oddly enough, being a part-time rocker chick has actually enhanced her reputation amongst her fellow MLS students.
ThePerilsOfDan:
I don't like my unicorn grove time infringed upon either.

"Man, fuck Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf SUCKS. Lemme go back to sleep."
*FOREBODE*

There are a lot of songs I only know through the Weird Al version.

--- Quote from: War Sparrow on 02 Feb 2016, 14:26 ---If the local classic rock station can play Red Hot Chili Peppers as classic, Meatloaf counts too. His lyrics are no better or worse than any other artist/band. Sometimes often they are better.
I have heard of all those songs, and I am only two years older. Most of my peers are similar. He sells out shows still, or did up until 5 or 6 years ago. Might depend on location though.
In the interest of full disclosure, I love Meatloaf.

Classic? I still own a copy of Bassplayer Magazine that contains an interview with Flea on account of "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" being played nonstop on the radio ...
... aaaaaaaaaand that article is older than the both one of you! (It also confirms that Flea is certifiably nuts. And a genuine musical genius. For anybody who had any doubt about either.)
42 is definitely too young to feel old ... :cry:
EDIT: Basic Arithmetic
Nothing wrong with liking Meatloaf - though for me, the whole "Bat out of Hell II"-Brouhahah kind of came out nowhere when it came out. My first thought was "Rock-Opera? They still make those?". Freddy Mercury had died only two years prior - maybe that's why the whole concept of Rock-Opera felt a bit ultra-retro to me at the time.
Though it's probably wrong to call him a "serial one-hit-wonder", I guess there's a difference to how he is perceived outside the US.

Uhmmmmmh, not to sleaze up the WCDT -> But Rule 34.5 ("Every double entendre you think you came up with ... was made into a one-hit-wonder in the 90s (or into an Opera by Meatloaf)") applies to that thought ...
(Just google within quotes - first link. Safesearch mandatory!)
I'm just sayin'!
It's an interesting factoid, right?
Dont judge me! :oops:
--- End quote ---
Well, that was what I was referencing anyway, so I'm not sure if rule 34.5 applies...
And I was born in 1985, so I guess I'm old enough to know that Meatloaf has plenty of hits. Dang kids.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeellllll ... I could say that googling that phrase of yours shows that "I will do anything for butts -- but I won't do that" was what Meatloaf meant anyhow (along with a lot of other authors of 90s-hits), but truth be told:
There was a distinct lack of caffeine in my system when I 'invented' Rule 34.5, so there.
Still: I invented Rule 34.5 ! Yay me!
1985 - The year everybody had just finished re-reading Orwell's 1984 and nobody had any notion yet as to where the fuck Chernobyl was ... :evil:

--- Quote from: electromgneticDstroyosaur on 02 Feb 2016, 20:06 ---Difference is, you really have to be a 90s fan to know any of those songs (with the possible exception of Anything for Love) whereas everyone knows Beethoven's 5th and 9th symphonies, Für Elise, and Moonlight Sonata (even if not by name)

If you're going to be like that, then feel free to substitute Antonio Salieri.
Became obscure after he died, but not a one-hit wonder by any means.
--- End quote ---
True, but would anyone remember him if he hadn't been the guy who messed with W.A.Mozart's headmeat? (Well, I would, because I had to practise an piano-etude of his for the entrance exam at Conservatory Arnhem ... And it probably wouldn't be wrong to say that it wasn't that difficult to mess with Mozart's headmeat, on account of it being pretty ... idiosyncratic ... to begin with.)
