'Cause we were barely 17, and we were barely dressed

Remember when I just saw a commercial for AT&T "Go Phones" featuring Meatloaf singing his song "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" with a kid that's supposed to be his son? The very song that's about a teenage boy trying to coerce a teenage girl to sleep with him in a car? This is why media studies is important; were I a consultant to AT&T, I would tell them that this was a batshit crazy and tasteless move. These are academic terms. Yes.

it was also used in a mattress commercial, the idea that you could "sleep on it" for a night to test it out.

whatever. awesome song. i wish there was a way to get the raspy voice of the chick without having to smoke three packs a day since grade school.
