  • On this song Meat Loaf takes the character of a man in love with a prostitute, complete with the album's most R-rated lyric, "I can barely fit my d--k in my pants!" He told The London Times: "I am a big prude. Nobody understands what it took for me to sing that line." Then added, smiling. "I had to leave Meat Loaf out of the equation. I said, 'Meat Loaf is gonna leave now and this character is going to sing that line'."
