This is Musical Theater. You would have to google 1st base 2nd base, 3rd base, home plate.on a date. It is an American Baseball reference. This video is a Meatloaf classic.
Jim Steinman (Meatloaf's songwriter/arranger/pianist) and Meatloaf were both fans of opera. Opera style arrangements showcased going from movement to movement, not verse-chorus-verse style. You hit it on the head, this is rock opera. The sport clip was American baseball. Carla DaVito was actually lip-synching to the original practice spund track. Sarah, this was as beneficial to me as the treatments I'm undergoing. As usual, I thank you for your uplifting spirit, smiles, and chair dancing. My so beloved daughter is the keeper of my spirit, but since she lives far from me (for now), I so much enjoy watching other children of God like you. Stay well always. 💖🤩🌹😃😁
Hey, sweet Sarah. A friend of mine saw MEATLOAF live in the Netherlands in the 70's. He saw all the greats, but he said he never heard a better singer. MEATLOAF was just awesom. Thank you verry much for this one. Loved it. 👍💪❤️
Rumor went around that between song Meatloaf had to hit an oxygen tank to catch his breath, because he put more into his singing. He wasn't a bad actor either with a part in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", and "The Roady" where he played Travis Redfish
it's baseball and i believe the announcer was phil rizzuto calling a yankees game. the whole idea came from getting to first base, second etc.....and then just as he was getting to "home plate" she demanded he declare he would marry her etc. hilarious.
Yes, and it's been said that Rizzuto wasn't made aware of the context until it was completed and he wasn't happy about it, though he may have changed his mind when the royalty checks started to appear. 1st, 2nd, 3rd are just milestones along the intimacy track while a home run refers to going all the way.
The baseball section is a reference to a euphemism that teenagers sometimes use to describe what happens in a car late at night. Wikipedia has a page called "Baseball metaphors for sex" that explains it.
By now, I hope you have an understanding of the connection between the baseball clip being described by the game announcer's reference to the player reaching first base (kissing), second base (feeling her up), third base (heavy genital petting), and reaching home plate (full intercourse). Teen boys would ask each other, "How far did you get?" Answering 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, home plate (home run) told the whole story.

MEATLOAF was not just a Musician ... He was wholly an Entertainer . HUMANITY was blessed having witnessed those werks .
The song of all songs with the performance of all performance .... such INCREDIBLE chemistry .... anyone who hears this loves it forever....
This was when cars still had bench seats.

One of his biggest hits. I love Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad.
