Dear Meat Loaf,
What the hell, dude? I mean, your stuff is classic. You ROCK. And you go and sell out for that stupid Go Phone commercial?
Yeah, yeah, I know, lots of songs are on commercials these days, from respected artists. Even my favorite band Heart has a riff from "Barracuda" on a freakin' minivan commercial.
But they only provided a riff. They didn't change the freakin' song.
Dude, you took one of your all time classics, and changed the lyrics to cheesey commercialism crap, and PERFORMED said crap on the commercial. You didn't even have the dignity to hide behind someone else performing your revamped song after you sold its soul to Corporate America.
To take your cue, let me change some of your lyrics for you:
"Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Meat Loaf selling his soul is a depressing sight."
Okay, that was cheesy. See what I mean? But Meat, I'll close with some of your lyrics, unadulterated:
"And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost."
So, Meat, was it worth the cost?
Your Disgusted Fan
