Line 54:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: He once guest-starred in an episode of ''[[House (TV)|House]]'' playing a guy named [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Eddie.]]
** He also popped up in [[Glee]]'s [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Rocky Horror]] episode (alongside Barry Bostwick) as a [[Executive Meddling|Network executive]] trying to expose how damaging Rocky Horror is.
* [[Anti
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: All together now: "You took the words right out of my mouth...oh, it must've been while you were kissing me..." When performing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, he stopped the show because the singing from the audience was lacklustre, and he said [[Berserk Button|they sounded like they were from Sydney]]. The audience suddenly got a lot more involved, but exploded when he screamed at the top of his lungs [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"ARE YOU TOO OLD TO STAND UP?!"]] During live shows, he has been known to stop the band mid-song and call out a particular audience member who was ''not'' singing along.
* [[Author Appeal]]: Jim Steinman really has a thing for Peter Pan - aside from ''Bat Out Of Hell'' itself, references to "lost boys" and never growing up or changing appear throughout his lyrics. Additionally, Meat Loaf's touring band is called "the Neverland Express".
Line 82:
* [[Large Ham]]: His acting roles. His vocal delivery also qualifies. [[The Other Wiki]] categorizes his vocal range as "''Dramatic'' tenor".
* [[Literal Genie]]: In "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," the singer swears to love his girl until the end of time. He then prays for the end of time so he can be released from his obligation.
** His promise comes off as a [[But Thou Must!]], because his girl presses him ''really'' hard for that promise by refusing to have sex unless he makes that promise. Despite his repeated refrain of "Let me sleep on it/Baby, baby, let me sleep on it," she insists that she can wait all night for an answer, and finally, he makes his promise out of insanity following the pressure she applied.
* [[Logic Bomb]]: "Ev'rything Louder Than Ev'rything Else"
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]]: "...and the last thing is see is my heart...still beeeating...breaking out of my body and flying away...LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL!!"
