Jim Steinman’s songs are dramatic, overwrought, full of stupid, juvenile lyrics… And just fucking awesome. One of my all-time favorite albums. Meat just sells all the absurdity and put so much dramatic emotion into it. I mean, this might be on of the lease ridiculous songs in the record, but still…

I appreciate this song working as both a breakup song for the dumper and the dumpee. The narrator admitting in the last verse that he’s fucked up his relationships because of what happened to him always felt really honest.
