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

Dead Ringer For Love (7)

I think this song want to be the Paradise By The Dashboard Light of Dead Ringer. I don't like to listen it, but it's a very good dance music. The real rock 'n' roll.

In the video of Dead Ringer For Love Cher is fantastic. Sometimes she makes me believe that she is beautiful. I love her voice. I love her songs. Bang Bang is the best! Cher and Meat are very good pair.

My score: 7



Average: 8.42 (101/12)

Maybe one of the best Rock 'n' Roll intro ever. Typical Jim Intro, simple but great.

I don't know why you don't like to listen to it!

I like Everything Louder/Dead Ringer of Cardiff, great way of performances, especially the way they go from everything louder to the intro of dead ringer super.

Score: 9

White of high, why, just why, don't you like the thing Meat Loaf does?

I mean, in most of your reviews you say that you don't like this, or don't like that......but what do you like?

Don't get me wrong, but this sucks!

White of High 30 Sep 2002 21:26

OK!

I like in the music the power and lot of instruments. I love for example For Crying Out Loud, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste. I like The Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and some songs by Scorpions & The Berliner Philharmoniker (Hurricane 2000, Send Me An Angel, Crossfire). I like Carmina Burana and I like Beethoven, Bach and Wagner.

These songs make a picture in myself. They can be a vision. Yes, a vision!

For example Dead Ringer For Love is a very good music, but in this song I feel nothing beauty. Life Is A Lemon, Objects In The Rear View Mirror, Bat Out Of Hell, Razor's Edge, Standing On The Outside can give me a vision.
Do you understand?

:twisted: Ready.Aim.Fire.
I've put that because I know i'm going to get put up on a wall and shot for saying this,but Dead Ringer For Love is not one of my favorites.
Don't get me wrong,it's not that I actualy dislike it,but compared to a lot of Meat's music it just doesn't get to me the same way.
Maybe it's because of Cher?some of her stuffs o.k. but i'm not what you would call a fan.I think Patti sings it a lot better.
Good Rock & Roll,but not Meat's best.
Sorry guys :oops: ,but.....
6/10-I can hear the rifle bolts being pulled back now.

Thank God White of Heigh, i thought that you were one of those people that doesn't like anything. :lol:

But Dead Ringer is a great song. Great duet, Cher has something. The clip is also great.

R,if you have any intention of sending Cher round,think again. :D (see,I can be bitchy too :P )
By the way R it could have been worse,you could have said a tiny cat to catch a big,fat and ugly mouse 8O.Rock on buddy.
P.S.Cher if you read this (yeah right)i'm only joking.

Did you ever listen to "just like jesse james? from cher? It;s great! it's the best! And the girl is still hot! She's rock 'n roll!
Dead Ringer is a great live act! And we all know that. In 1989 i was at a concert in my hometown (Alkmaar). They did a great act with this song.
i gvie it a 8/10

This is actually my favourite duet. (The live around the world version!!)

tukayaway 16 Feb 2003 01:53

Hands up those who've sung this at a Karioke? I have, I rocked, I won a prize.

Quigmo 17 Sep 2003 12:26

Yet another disapointment that Cher did little to save. But wait, I've now
heard this song live this summer and it was truly fun.
So for the Dead Ringer version I can only give a 4/10.
For the potential I heard live recently 9/10.

RSG 18 Nov 2003 02:53

I love this song a lot! Full of energy, and it is quite exciting to hear Cher sing with Meat.

kaz 18 Nov 2003 09:56

This song rules- need i say more? 10/10

nope, you got it down compact right all the way!! :lol:

RSG 18 Nov 2003 20:22

Although, I don't think it was supposed to be, "Dead Ringer For Love" will never be "Paradise By The Dashboard Light." This is the first song I heard off the album and the music and words are great. So is Cher, but she is always great, what a duet. But nothing compared to Meat and Patti if you ask me. Just heard it again, had to play it, I change my mind.

Dead Ringer For Love - 10/10

madonna123968848 18 Nov 2003 21:26

GOT to be 10/10 ... I love Cher and Meat (but in different ways of course lol)

Jayd 19 Nov 2003 14:31

Got to say the original is the best always has been, always will be, no live performance will beat it. Although Patti is great, Meat and Cher did a terrific job on this song and the video. 10/10

PanicLord 19 Nov 2003 19:46

I

LURVE

This song - fantastic rock'n'roll, and the lyrics are superb and well sung. Also like the video, but I only ever seem to catch the last half on tv etc - don't know why, I just don't seem to be able to manage any more!!!

Anyway,

I reckon, an easy 10/10!

Woman of Steel 19 Nov 2003 20:15

Okay song...liked it well enough.
8/10 :D

ChrissybabezNI 20 Nov 2003 23:54

I came to this one first and though I can't choose a favourite MeatLoaf song, this one would have close competition I think this song is fantastic, and so much better when watched with its video. This was one of the first Meatloaf songs i was introduced too, and like all the rest will never grow old.

9/10

LostSoul 18 Jan 2004 17:09

This song is great! Listen to the vocals... what a duet!
I wish I could hear Meat & Cher live now!

I love the last TOTP UK version! Patti & Meat are awesome!

10/10

rockfenris2005 27 Jan 2004 05:46

The tune was recycled from the television theme that Jim wrote for DELTA HOUSE. I like DELTA HOUSE better. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE is not one of my favourites, but it goes well in contrast to READ'EMANDWEEP

RadioMaster 08 Jul 2006 12:28

Like the song but dont like cher!:twisted:

itīs not very emotional but somehow itīs cool.
Especially the video.

7,5

mszee 08 Jul 2006 20:05

Cool song and cool video. A little outdated 'cause now in my opinion reminds me somehow of Grease...BUT...love listening to it...SO...

9/10
