About Paradise By the Dashboard Light

"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is a song written by Jim Steinman and first recorded by Meat Loaf for his 1977 album Bat Out of Hell. It is a duet between Meat Loaf and singer Ellen Foley that chronicles a young couple as they debate whether or not to "go all the way tonight". The song is also notable for an extended sequence in which then-Yankees play-by-play announcer Phil Rizzuto ostensibly narrates a baseball game. This play-by-play serves as a metaphor for the young lovers going "around the bases". .
