View Full Version : If you could get Meat to sing any song what would it be?

Is there any songs you'd like to hear Meat sing that you think his voice would suit?

I can imagine him singing an outstanding version of I Don't Like Mondays, I'd love to hear him sing it.

RadioMaster
11 May 2006, 22:57
A great thing would be
Hallelujah by Leonhard Cohen
In 03 or 04 there was a very emotional cover of this, by Jeff Buckley.
Thatīs a real great version of that song!
I think Meatīs voice would be perfect for that song.

Good call Radiomaster.

I have quite a list I'd like to hear him sing, Date With Destiny is way up there. Dumb as it sounds, I could see Meat covering some of songs from the second incarnation of Everclear. :oops:

Not to mention the songs of Aussie band Redgum.

Unfortunetly Jeff Buckley died in 1997.
His cover was on his 1994 album, Grace.

Not bad but nothing beats Leonard.

Meat would be good at this.

Oh I love that song...I thing the crappiest version of it suprisingly enough was done by Bono...

Ok...you will probably think I am crazy (and, of course, you won't be wrong) but first time I've heard Loving You Is a Dirty Job...was at the DE concert and it went straight over my head. Then I heard Bonnie Tyler singing it...and I didn't like it. But for a few weeks now I can't stop listening to it for whatever reason...and only one thought comes to mind...oh if only it was ML singing it...

Nick
12 May 2006, 03:49
How about some sinatra? thats maybe wild thought, but Thatwould prove he can sing anything!

Heck, that would be awesome! Honestly, Sinatra is only second to Meat for me. Totally different style, but I love em both.

12 May 2006, 12:51

Youīre right, it was in 94, just a typing erronr.
But it was released in 04 once again, because it was on an episode of some tv-series.
I think it was "the oc", but iīm not sure.
In every case it was released again, but i dont know if it was a single or on the soundtrack of the series.


How about Eye of the Tiger?

Hallelujah is a very good call!! What a great song!

I think this has been said somewhere before but I'd like to hear Meat do An American Trilogy

CarylB
12 May 2006, 18:20
So many ..

Meat has said the Gershwin Estate asked him to do an album of Gershwin songs, and I'd love that to come about :)

Queen's "Don't stop me now" would be another good one imo .. and I would adore him to record with Patti that wonderful song from Chess, "I know him so well" .. the words would need minor adjustmet to make it a duet with a man and woman, but I can picture the two of them standing back to back singing it about each other .. that one is probably top of my wish list .. although he could sing Lambs Eat Oats and Mares Eat Oats and I'd enjoy it :)

There are so many great songs idea and a rock cover album would be good I think. Some of my ideas for a possible cover album:

Hearts on Fire from the Rocky 4 soundtrack
My Way
Highway to Hell - ACDC
Rosalita - Springsteen
Have a Little Faith in Me
Rock and Roll All Nite - Kiss
Allright Now - Free
I Wanna Rock - Twisted Sister
You ain't seen nothing yet - BTO
And one of my favrouites
"Come on feel the noise" - Quiet Riot

Come on feel the noise (or officially: cum on feel the noize) is from slade, but the QR cover is definetly the better one!

Leonard Cohen is one of those composers that you've either never heard of or you're a huge fan of - I don't think there's much of a middle ground.

Hallelujah was used recently in the soundtrack for Shrek (not Cohen's version though - Rufus Wainwright's).

RadioMaster
13 May 2006, 11:41
Dang. Who is the Cohen guy? Never heard of him..

Leonhard Cohen (*1934-09-21 in Montreal) is a Canadian Singer and Composer. Began 1954 in the country-band Buckskin Boys. Heīs famous for his very dark and sad songs. Also worked as a successful novel-author. His big time was between 68 ahd 71. He became popular once again, when Jennifer Warnes säng some of his songs on her 87 album "Famous Blue Raincoat"
Biggest hits: Suzanne and Lover, Lover, Lover. In the time of 1995 to 1999 be was living as a buddhistic friar in a zen-cloister in the californian mountains. Today heīs living in LA.

Hope that helps.

13 May 2006, 11:52
Meat should do Sherry Darling by Bruce Springsteen - great old fashioned (ie good!) rock n roll.

I also think he would belt the hell out of Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams. And I think he should do the song I wrote (see my thread Something Is Coming (The Meaning Of Sin) in off topic).

RadioMaster
13 May 2006, 13:27
Some thing that came to my mind:
How about some scorpions-songs.
OK, i doesnīt nas to be wind of change, but Hurricane or send me an angel would be nice. I cant imagine how it would sound if Meat sang those songs.

Agree!

Since he has a penchant for doing older 'classics' live (i.e. Mercury, Black Betty), how about 'TUSH' by ZZ Top:

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, texas, hollywood.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
Not by myself, not alone.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

THAT would be fun to see...lots of room for Paul to wail on the guitar and plenty of room for Meat to play it up with Patti!

FYI, in the movie Shrek, it is John Cale, of the Velvet Underground singing, while as you say it is on the soundtrack it is Rufus.

My Immortal by Evanescence/Amy Lee. I know I keep going on about a Meat/Amy Lee duet. But I think this would be a perfect choice of song for it. I can imagine Amy singing to Meat and then vice versa.

There are so many songs I'd love Meat to cover... basically any slow, emotional ballad would be great.

I'd also love to hear/see him sing Everybody (Needs Somebody) of The Blues Brothers and most of the best blues singers fame.

It has always sounded like a cover of Meat to me, and it would be great live, by the time Meat improvised the slow bits, got the audience howling the "you'd better..." at him, and him screaming "when I scream I need you"... Would be fun, I reckon.

That's the Who. And yes, The Who are as big and epic and overblown as anybody - they invented it actually - and Roger Daltrey can hold his own with ANYBODY vocally, as evidenced by his awesome vocals on the song Bad Attitude with Meat.

I was thinking earlier of Testify and I thought to myself...that is exactly what I would love to hear from Meat Loaf - gospel. I think he would have done amazing gospel music by himself or in a duet with a great female gospel singer with a powerhouse voice.

Piano Man - Billy Joel
November Rain - Guns N Roses
Who wants to live forever - Queen

I think these would be a good start to a covers album!

You know it hit me the other day:

Given how Bat 3 has turned out with Meat and team picking some of Steinman's older songs to cover instead of it being all new-uns, after Bat 3's released Meat really will have done an awful lot of Steinman's back catalogue. What with Bad for Good and IACBTMN added to the list there aren't that many high profile Jim songs Meat hasn't done.

Of all the various notable studio projects by Jim up until now, it's really only Making Love out of Nothing At All, Tonight is What It Means to be Young, Dance in my Pants, Safe Sex and the Bonnie Tyler stuff that Meat hasn't recorded.

That's, what, about 10(ish) songs? (I figure there isn't enough room for Stark Raving Love AND Holding out For A Hero given the recycled bits, and Meat's reported disliking of Stark Raving Love).

That's really not that many at all! No wonder there's an overwhelming public perception that where there's Meat there's jim and vice versa, despite their prolonged periods of time apart and their considerable success without each other.

So now, ladies and gentlement, I'd like to unveil my idea of "Meat Loaf: the classic 1980s Steinman Songbook", released 2008 :lol: .

but more in the spirit of the idea of the thread...

I'm not hanging out to hear it but now that you mention it it'd be cool for Meat to do Alice Cooper's 'Hey Stoopid'. I think content wise it's right up Meat's alley.

he could do it with Desmond Child to great effect I think. They could even get Steve Vai to play on it like the original.

Oh wait, maybe it was Satriani that played on the original... they both played on the album but now I can't remember. Meh. You get the picture.

B.

EDIT: My memory has drudged up enough to remember, with 93.7% certainty, that it is actually Satriani that plays on the track Hey Stoopid.

Iīm still amazed by Seize the Night, I wonder if theyīll keep the Back into Hell part in it, probably not. Itīd be great if it was chaged to a little part of the TMIL melody. Back into hell is like a leitmotif of Bat2 (-> Good Girls), so TMIL could be for Bat3:))

I wonder if Meat's going to be running around a big mansion with a white nightie on, like Celine Dion did :shock: Blimey I'll need therapy to remove that thought :tard:

Anyhoo, I think Meat would suit some Trans-Siberian Orchestra stuff

Pud :twisted:

:lmao: Well, I don't think we have too long to wait to find out... perhaps Marion Raven will? :drool:


Chris DeBurgh did a great song (hard to believe I know) called "Making The Perfect Man" - I reckon Meat could do a superb version of this.
