Top Gear

Heli · 12 Jun 2005, 21:54

I'm just watching Top Gear on telly and they're doing the top driving songs of all time....and they are complaining that "Bat Out of Hell" by our Meat Loaf is number 1 at the moment!!

WHATS WRONG WITH MEAT JEREMY!!??!! Huh?!!

I recon we all go onto the top gear website (www.bbc.co.uk/topgear) and complain that Meat Loaf isn't just a "fat man" !!! We LOVE Meat Loaf!!!!!!!

AndrewG · 12 Jun 2005, 22:20

Yes Jeremy is rather narrow minded. Entertaining at times, but stubborn. I quite like the program but think his views on cars are kind of fantasy. Not all of us can afford a DB9 or Ford GT Jeremy! The car related educational/environmental value of their show is rather close to zero if you ask me.

I thought he would slag off Meat Loaf, typical Jeremy. Though I was pleasently surprised "Bat out of Hell" is stil at number 1 of their driving songs. Hope it stays that way even after Jeremy's stupid pleas not to vote for it anymore.
Of course bat out of hell is the ultimate car song, it's the best song ever! "Breaking outta my body and flying away......................... Like a BAT OUT OF HELL!!!"

BTW Jeremy is rather fat himself if I may say so!
Maybe we should hold a petition for getting Meat Loaf on Top Gear as the weekly guest. He would sort Jeremy out anyday!

(at least they spelled Meat Loaf correctly on the board)

My comment to the BBC:
"I thought Jeremy's comments on tonights show on Meat Loaf were rather harsh. "Bat out of Hell" is a great song according to many viewers, so he should respect that. I feel Jeremy sometimes goes too far with his personal comments. He is an entertaining person Mr Clarkson, but commenting on an artists' weight just to voice his own opinion is rather juvenile. I along with many viewers would like him to be more positive about one of the best driving songs ever. If he cannot do that he should not hold the survey in the first place."

What on earth does Jeremy mean by.... "The top 10, as it stands at the moment, features AC/DC, Motörhead, Steppenwolf, Queen, Kenny Loggins, Golden Earring, and rather disturbingly, at number one, Meat Loaf’s appallingly pretentious Bat Out of Hell."
He's probably disturbed to be making such comments.... and I voted Meat in...lol... and we should all do that.

Ageing Bat · 13 Jun 2005, 09:12

The more of us that vote for Bat out of Hell, the more chance it has of being No. 1. Presumably we can vote more than once too

LucyK! · 13 Jun 2005, 09:59

Aw I love Jeremy Clarkson!! And despite what he said about Bat Out Of Hell - he still knew the opening lines to You Took The Words!!

LET'S VOTE!!!

rick · 13 Jun 2005, 11:32

have voted shame there isn't a comment's box
the only thing that worries me is which kenny loggins song is it
the only one that should be there is the danger zone from top gun, anyone know?

LesleyM · 13 Jun 2005, 11:44

Top Gear is currently running a survey for the 'Best Driving Song' - current number is of course ..... BAT OUTTA HELL !!

However Jeremy Clarkson (he of the bad haircut, sad wardrobe and dubious taste in transport) is waging a campaign to get the big man outvoted.

Use the following web address to place your votes and keep the big man where we all know he should be - at the top !!

Remember if you have more than one email address (work and home maybe ?), you can vote more than once !!

there already is a topic like this Lesley!!

SuperLoafMan · 13 Jun 2005, 19:13

I usually watch Top Gear every Sunday but last night i was out and missed the show, although i did vote for Meat Loaf, Bat Out Of Hell last week....

I will watch the repeat show today i think it is on and then see what he says about Meat, but i must say though a few weeks back, maybe in 2004 there was a free CD given away with the newspaper called "Clarksons Best Driving Songs" or something along those lines and Bat was on there....so how can he be slagging him off if he had it on a CD....he talks some right carbage sometimes doesnt he

I bet if there was a contest between Meat and Clarkson, Meat would kick 10 balls of s**t out of him!!!

Asha · 13 Jun 2005, 22:04

It's on tomorrow at 7:00 pm BBC2

SuperLoafMan · 13 Jun 2005, 22:45

Thanks Asha!!

They appear to have removed the voting page!

Rebel 1 · 14 Jun 2005, 10:24

"Because of technical problems with the vote we have decided to temporarily remove the feedback form from this page. We hope this will be reinstated soon."
According to the site but maybe we did overdo it???????????????????

Cpl Mickey · 14 Jun 2005, 14:07
