The most difficult one yet. Saturday Night Fever is amongst my favourite ever movies and have seen it so many times I've lost count.

Stayin' Alive - you can never tire of the opening credits from Saturday Night Fever.

How Deep Is Your Love

Massachussets

Ask tomorrow and I'll swap the last 2 for any of Nights on Broadway, Night Fever, New York Mining Disaster 1941, If I Can't Have You...




Have never seen Saturday Night Fever before, just IMDB'd it, a Pegi18... Saucy?
It covers a lot of ground you wouldnt expect - rape, suicide etc.

Like most of Kenny Rogers songs.

quit yo jibbajabba

Ocean Colour Scene playing with Madness this summer. Just a heads up for all the fans on here 🤓

Duine Inteacht Eile

Playing Ulster Hall this Saturday & Sunday night too.

Milltown Row2

They were good but I wouldn't have them on a playlist
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

I think the Pope dying has  diverted attention  from any more  Bee Gees talk.

Anyway , Meat Loaf  is next on the list , so let's  go.....

AustinPowers

Not a huge Meat fan. He sure liked a  long song  title though

I'd do anything  for love (but I won't do that)
I'd lie for you  (and that's the truth)
Rock and roll dreams come true

Blowitupref

At his peak a superb singer with a great stage presence

Two Out of Three Ain't bad

It's All Coming Back to Me Now

I'd do anything  for love
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

BigGreenField

Took the words right outta my mouth
Paradise by the dashboard light
What you see is what you get

Honourable mention to the rocky Horror Show

Surely I'm not disrespecting Meatloaf's unique sound and showmanship by pointing out that he has at most 6 songs that anyone would short list here?

Some  might argue they are all just different versions of Jim Steinman's one song including Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding out for a Hero or Air Supply's Making Love out of nothing at all.

Anyway:

Dead Ringer for Love
Two out of three ain't bad (a great one when the slow set came on at the teenage disco or agonising if you found yourself holding up the wall)
Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul

Might have already been posted here but a great piece about Meat Loaf's 1989 tour of Ireland:

Paradise by the dashboard light.
Heaven can wait
You took the words right out of my mouth.

No better man for a power ballad.
He was dung without Steinman and Steinman was dung without meaty.

Write boys

Himself and Jim Steinman sure did like the big power ballad.How about rock n roll dreams come true. My top 3
 Paradise by the dashboard light
Bat out of hell
Dead ringer for love (Cher)
 An outsider Objects in the rear view mirror
