Bat Out Of Hell -- Meat Loaf

The song sounds big band without the big band.

It sounds like they hung it on the skeleton of big bands, the framework of big bands.

Meat Loaf himself sounds like he should sing in front of a big band.

The guitar solos sound like horns. They went for a saxophone sound.

A variation of this song appeared in my timeline today and suddenly all the nostalgia hit me.

My dad used to play this during parties. He was a musician, and basically this song was part of his repertoire. I remember him practicing this song with his band.

I'll share Glenn Miller's wikipedia entry so you can know more about his life. BTW, he was a hero: He died during a military operation in WWII. You know, killing nazis.
