Meatloaf -- Paradise by the Dashboard Light

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive,
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,
But God only knows what I can do right now.
I'm praying for the end of time,
It's all that I can do . . .
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!

This will remain forever infamous for being sung at the top of my little's voice when she had a bit too much to drink!

My Jamestown Cousin stands correct again!

Must post one of the first true long rock and roll songs (known by disc jockeys everywhere as "bathroom songs"): Hey Jude. It's very short in comparison.

Before I got married, I had a message on my machine that everyone said that Nights In White Satin should have been used for the background music. I'd have complete strangers call, just to hear it! I just called to see if you could still get the message, but two months of political calls have it running berserk!

November Rain - Guns-N-Roses

One - Metallica
Shine On You Crazy Diamonds (both parts) - Pink Floyd
Sinnerman - Nina Simone
Freebird - Lynnard Skynard
The Glamorous Life - Sheila E.
Release - Pearl Jam
November Rain - GnR

"Like a rolling stone" by Bob Dylan is 6 minutes long. When it first came out, that was unheard of.

Funeral for a Friend - Elton John

Agnus Dei - Chanticleer
La Vie Boheme - RENT
Mischief Managed - Harry Potter
