Two A-Holes is a recurring sketch featuring Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis as a self absorbed couple who constantly talk on the phone, chew gum, and completely ignore their surroundings. If Bruce Springsteen can take it over the top, Meat Loaf can take it five stories higher than that.The Two A-Holes talking to a Christmas tree salesman (Two A-Holes Buying A Christmas Tree) So we made these epic songs, full of the silly puns that Steinman loves. You take all the trademarks - overlong songs, teenage angst, handsome loner - and turn them upside-down. Jim Steinman still denies that record has anything to do with Springsteen.

Rundgren told Mojo magazine in a 2009 interview about the song’s inspiration: The most astounding thing I have ever seen in my life. I guarantee the whole thing didn’t take him more than forty-five minutes, and the song itself is ten minutes long. In fifteen minutes, played the lead solo and then played the harmony guitars at the beginning. In his autobiography To Hell and Back, Meat Loaf wrote,

There is something so thrilling to me about that operatic narrative that involves a cataclysmic event, especially one so perfectly in tune with a teenager’s world, and rock and roll, as a car or motorcycle crash. Oh, I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is raw, but my soul is ripe And no one's gonna stop me now I'm gonna make my escape But I can't stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late And I never see the sudden curve 'til it's way too late Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun (ooh) Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike (ooh) And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell (aah) And the last thing I see is my heart still beating I'm breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Oh, torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell (ooh) And the last thing I see is my heart still beating, still beating I'm breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell Oh, like a bat out of hell Oh, like a bat out of hell Oh, like a bat out of hell (I'll be gone when the morning comes) Like a bat out of hell (I'll be gone when the morning comes) Like a bat out of hell (ooh, ooh) Oh, baby you're the only thing in this whole world That's pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go There's always gonna be some light But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it's over, you know we'll both be so alone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes Oh, when the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done and the sun goes down And the moonlight's shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven I'll come crawling on back to you I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole Everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls And nothing's ever worth the cost And I know that I'm damned if I never get out And maybe I'm damned if I do But with every other beat I've got left in my heart You know I'd rather be damned with you If I gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night with you Well If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned (gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned) Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned (gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned) Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned (gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned) Dancing through the night (dancing through the night) Dancing through the night (dancing through the night) Dancing through the night with you (dancing through the night)
