So I was flicking through a gazillion albums on the iPod looking for something to listen to and up came the Bat out of Hell album. I hadn't heard it since the 70s. I bought a secondhand copy a few years ago from a charity shop but never got around to playing it. It wasn't an album that appealed to me when it came out, but with Jim Steinman having died recently I thought I'd give it a spin.
Title track was quite fun, but the second song -
You took the words right out of my mouth - I didn't remember at all but it starts with this truly terrible dialogue between some bloke and a woman. It was utterly atrocious, I will HAVE to edit that from the song!!!!!
Basically this:
On a hot summer night
Would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer nightWould you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?YesI bet you to say that to all the boys
So yeah, are there any bits tacked onto a song that you HATE! Ideally with a clip to show it. Here's the Meatloaf track:

We are the Champions - the very, very ending. No reason not to add '... of the world'. Pisses me off every time.
Eeeeeuuuuoooohhhh'.
Thanks

In contrast, I love the spoken stuff on Bat Out Of Hell and the outros of Layla and Baba O’Reilly...

Greatest musical cliffhanger of all time!
perhaps controversially “ Ashes to Ashes, funk to funky, we know Major Tom’s a junkie”. It doesn’t anger me, but ‘could do better’.
