Meat Loaf – I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)
“I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” is a song composed and written by Jim Steinman, and recorded by Meat Loaf. The song was released in 1993 as the first single from the album Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell. The last six verses feature a female vocalist who was credited only as “Mrs. Loud” in the album notes. She was later identified[when?] as Lorraine Crosby, from North East England. She does not, however, appear in the video, in which her vocals are lipsynched by Dana Patrick. Meat Loaf promoted the single with American vocalist Patti Russo performing the live female vocals.

“Tutti Frutti” (means “All Fruits” in Italian) is a song co-written by Little Richard (Richard Wayne Penniman), which was recorded in 1955 and became his first major hit record. With its opening cry of “A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom!” (a verbal rendition of a drum pattern that Little Richard had imagined) and its hard-driving sound and wild lyrics, it became not only a model for many future Little Richard songs, but also a model for rock and roll itself.
Billy Ocean – Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car
“Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car” is a single by British singer Billy Ocean, based on a line from Ringo Starr’s song “You’re Sixteen”. Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) video, which featured cartoon mixed with live-action sequences. The song went to number one on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Black Singles charts. It also peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song was also featured in the soundtrack of the 1988 film License to Drive. The song was covered by Fenix TX for the soundtrack of NASCAR Thunder 2003. In 2013, Gwar covered the song in a video featured on The A.V. Club website as part of the site’s A.V. Undercover series. Approximately three minutes into the performance, the band incorporates The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” into the song.
