71. A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste

This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste (10)

This is my second favourite song ever. (Only For Crying Out Loud can precede it) I love the art of Andrew Lloyd Webber and I don't understand why hasn't it been famous song. I think this is the best ALW song, better than Phantom Of The Opera but I like Sarah Brightman too. I know that POTO's sound is cleaner but I'd prefer the orchestra.
I love the beginning of the song and the "Tyre track and broken hearts" part. It's as same as in the middle of For Crying Out Loud.
When I didn't know it was from a musical I thought it's a mix of Jim's songs. Some lines from Peel Out and Lost Boys And Golden Girls.
I have the CD of Whistle Down The Wind and I love Bonnie Tyler's version too.

A question! What does it mean: If Only's - Cathy Porter. Who is she? Are these lines been by her?

My score: 10 or 11

Average: 8.28 (190.5/23)

Tim · 16 Apr 2003, 15:54

No not a 10.

This is a strange song. Not the best, but also not the worst........don't know what i will do with this song. The clip is great, i think, but the song.....

In a good mood i will give it a 9
In a bad mood i will give it a 5

White of High · 16 Apr 2003, 20:20

Tim!
When I count average which vote I use?

Tim · 16 Apr 2003, 20:22

Use a 7.5

Oh, how terrible am i!!!

White of High · 16 Apr 2003, 20:24

Then you are happy!

Michel · 16 Apr 2003, 21:55

An amazing song. Great music, goog lyrics, typicial Jim lyrics.

My score: 8/9

Cloggy · 16 Apr 2003, 22:39

Hmmm definatly not my favorite. You just have to be in the mood for it.

6/10

White of High · 16 Apr 2003, 22:48

I note you don't like musical.
Hey everybody! Meat was a musical actor!

sherrie87 · 16 Apr 2003, 23:00

My favorite version of this one is on the Storytellers DVD, but it was left off of the Storytellers CD, oddly.

To me, this song has some great parts, I do love musicals (btw), and I like ALW.....sometimes I like this song, sometimes I skip it

Over all....
My Score: 6

batloaf · 06 May 2003, 02:10

I'm not really a musical fan
and honestly saying this song can do little to me
the Bonnie tyler part is the best

6/10

White of High · 06 May 2003, 16:14

I think you mustn't sit into a theater for a Wagner opera.
Hey girls and boys! It's Webber! And I think it's his one of the best!!!

Bren · 20 Jun 2003, 22:03

Don't you just love this song.?The music is so good ,powerful and dramatic,just great.Meat's voice is wonderful,just as powerful,good lyrics
Love it
9/10

evil nickname · 21 Jun 2003, 01:46

Apart from the long note on "waste" (the one just before the solo) this song is fantastic. I'd give it a 8.5/10

badger · 03 Jul 2003, 00:52

A do like this song. It seems like a bit of a departure, as even though Meat and Jim have always produced very operatic songs, this one seems the most like a musical (i wonder why lol). I love the long "waste", I wonder if Meat has ever thought about being in an opera?

A great operatic:

8/10

mariella · 24 Jul 2003, 02:17

This song doesn't 'move' me at all. Think the lyrics are very good, voice also. Must be the music, I gues.

6/10

Evan · 24 Jul 2003, 03:35

I truly bought The Very Best Of Meat Loaf cd just to hear this song. I love the "Whistle Down The Wind" version and this one isn't quite as good but Meat's voice is superb and the music is great to. This truly proves Jim to be the Little Richard Wagner of rock. I love the Bonnie Tyler appearance at the end. "Whistle" should have been big here in the states, it's a shame.

10/10

Bart · 24 Jul 2003, 10:25

This song is totally over the top and large than life. The best part is the tyre tracks part and that's not sung by Meat

. It is a fantastic part full of energy. But i don't like musicals at all and this song well, i don't know, sometimes i like it but ..i just don;t know. It is not that great.

6/10
8/10 tyre tracks part

Jayd · 24 Jul 2003, 10:25

Not one of my faves, but it is good to listen too when in the right mood. 6/10 :)

I completely agree!

One of my favs, 10/10.

White of High · 24 Jul 2003, 12:25

I have a question: When did you start to like Meat Loaf? Cause A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste has - I think - ancient Jim Steinman basic. The melody's as same powerful as in For Crying Out Loud (with symphonic orchestra). I know it's a Webber song but Webber and Jim do same music (Phantom Of The Opera, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste, Memory, Carpe Noctem, Opening Dance, etc.). They are mixing the exploding rockopera with the calm and slow musical. In all songs. Then I don't understand why don't you like Kiss when you like FCOL?

White of High · 24 Jul 2003, 12:26

Bart!
Then I will count with 7...
