Meat Loaf screams, wails 'America the Beautiful' for Mitt Romney (video of meltdown)

It's official! Meat Loaf has thrown his support behind Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a big way. And lest anyone think the rocker isn't passionate about his endorsement, his performance at a Thursday rally in Defiance, Ohio, sure proves otherwise.

The singer joined country music stars Randy Owens, John Rich (who knows Meat Loaf well from their "The Celebrity Apprentice" days) and Big Kenny, as well as the presidential hopeful, for a particularly rousing rendition of "America the Beautiful."

----snip----

Channeling his trademark "Bat Out of Hell" enthusiasm (though most definitely not his "Bat Out of Hell" vocal stylings), Meat Loaf shouted out "Aaah! Go ahead now brother!" to Owens, before going ahead himself.

That's when the Grammy-winner's heartfelt wails began and continued straight through to the end of the number, despite looks of surprise, amusement and possibly concern from those who shared the spotlight with him.

I actually couldn't watch. I had to turn it off. It's like he wanted to embarrass himself and everyone on the stage. Or maybe he was just drunk off his ass.

1. He should change his name to

Pinch-a-loaf...

[SunSeeker]

11. ...

[cyclezealot]

65. Just when I was making up my list to download some music..

A couple of tunes of Meat Loaf's are favorites.. Even though I like some of their music, I never thought Michael Aday to be a a tower of intellect . He just has a voice.Such as "Bat out of Hell."
. . Check out his Discography. He did a music stint, with Crazy Man Ted Nugent.. That says it all.. No thanks.. I will not download Bat out of Hell. Anyone cozy with the likes of Ted Nugent won't get my dollars..

[immoderate]

2. I wouldn't listen to Meatloaf on his best day...

He plays sadistic villains well, though. Bat out of shit!

3. That was...

awesome. :

4. Spam deleted by gkhouston (MIR Team)

[Ash_F]

21. So, I reported this obvious spambot

and the jury voted 3-3 to leave it. Oh DU

[drm604]

24. Did you check the TOS violations box?

I reported it, not knowing that you had, and checked TOS violation. Hopefully it will be removed for TOS violations.

[CurtEastPoint]

27. I just alerted on it again w/TOS and I immediately got the 'keep it' email results.

So I guess you can't alert a subsequent time?

[caraher]

28. True

Look up their other posts and re-alert - or contact MIRT directly

[yardwork]

32. TOS alerts go directly to Admin whether or not the post is hidden.

EarlG or Skinner will get your TOS alert eventually and can remove any offensive photo.

MIRt will not get it since the jury voted to leave alone. You could send the link to any member of MIRt, though, and they'll start a thread about it.

[Cha]

33. I would think..the more the merrier when reporting spam or trolls.

Why wouldn't the jury want spam off DU? I would think the Admins would.

[Ash_F]

35. I believe so.

I'm sure it will get banned in eventually, no big deal. I just wanted to share in the hilarity of DU'er jurors.

[hunter]

43. It's dead Jim.

68. MIRT has PPR'd the jerk. nt

[Cirque du So-What]

34. Spam or not

somehow Queen Elizabeth's alternate throne is appropriate to the no-talent hacks surrounding Money Boo Boo.

[Ash_F]

5. He did not sound great. /nt

[John1956PA]

6. And one more time with posting this image:

[reflection]

19. Just so we're clear on that second photograph

that is actually a demonstration of what preventative healthcare will look like if Romney wins and repeals Obamacare. He is giving Meat Loaf a prostate exam. In fact, all prostate exams will be given by Mitt Romney to cut down on healthcare costs. Don't worry though, he will wrap his fingers in $100 bills to keep fecal matter from getting under his nails.

[Cha]

36. You can't post that shit on the right enough, JohnPA! And, Katy

Perry's pic makes a nice juxtapostion.

[tabasco]

67. OMG

She fits right into that dress.

[Judi Lynn]

7. Unbelievable. The Romster scooted to the far end of the line to get away from him.

Romney probably has a restraining order on him by now.

Absolutely appropriate for a Romney rally. Look at the kind of talent Romney can summons! Where's Ted?

Thanks.

[Ineeda]

51. That was the best part.

rMoney was terrified and trying not to show it but putting some distance between them in a real hurry.

[Frustratedlady]

8. They all sound like they're drunk!

That had to be humiliating to stand there and listen to it. Horrible.

[Thinkingabout]

9. If Mitt gets any stiffer he will be deared dead.

[sunnystarr]

49. shhhhh ... Ann just *perked* up when she saw your post. (nt) :)

[Life Long Dem]

10. Boss v Buffoon

[Cha]

37. BossX2.. I love it, Life Long Dem! Thank you!

VS MittLoaf!

[BlueState]

39. This is excellent!!!

Thanks for posting.

[wordpix]

47. Springsteen is classic folk rock; Meatloaf is loud screech on drugs

[Kurovski]

12. Why is he voting for Romney? Meatloaf doesn't have any money.

[uwbadgerdem]

15. What do you mean??

He's going on a big comeback tour...starting with the Eastern Nowhere County Fair (children's stage).

[Kurovski]

54. ohhhh...I deedin't knooow thyat!

[aletier_v]

38. No money left? He looks like a serious candidate for Obamacare then.

Wow, he was wheezing and clearly his hearing has gone bad.

[Kurovski]

56. I dunno...maybe ahhh, a little rehab too?

[uwbadgerdem]

13. In his "prime," he sucked...

Now...well I don't know just exactly what to call him, besides embarrassing. A felt a little bad for him, actually.

[Chuckyoufarly]

14. Meat loaf rocks

Well thats a long way from Paradise by the dashboard light. Sad , anyone see that Eddie Money commercial? now that was sad.

[Unknown Beatle]

53. It made me cringe

when I saw Eddie Money in that commercial. He probably needs money, otherwise why would he belittle himself?

[SunSeeker]

16. Just when I thought no one could sing "America the Beautiful" worse than Romney....

this happens. Maybe Romney set this up to make his rendition look better in comparison?

[The Wizard]

17. Methinks Mr. Loaf

deliberately sandbagged the Romminator.
Maybe the next celebrity endorser will stand next to Romney and scratch his/her crotch with one hand while digging out nose meat with the other.

[santamargarita]

18. What's a meat loaf? Don't you mean meat head?

[uwbadgerdem]

20. Romney can have Meat Loaf and Kid Rock...

We'll keep Springsteen, U2, R.E.M., Willie Nelson.... hell, Katy Perry even!

[Kurovski]

55. I think Romney should just generally keep away from music.

His own singing attempts are also not so good, but kinda better than poor old Meat Loaf's.

Welcome to DU!

[Rozlee]

64. He can keep Lindsey Lohan too.

Buncha chronics. Welcome to DU!

[dmr]

22. If Meatloaf was a Liberal, the RW would be bent out of shape on how he disrespected

this patriotic song.

I have no doubt that's what we'd be hearing, not only from the Right, but by the media as well.

[greiner3]

23. When I first saw the still;

I thought some guy was making the 'I'll blow you' sign. He had some large dark object in his hand, had his mouth wide open and seemed to be at about Mitt's waist level.

Now wouldn't THAT be a headline if true!

BTW, while viewing the video, muted of course!, I saw it was Meat Loaf and he had a mic in his hands and was probably taking a dump; talk about full of shit!

[yardwork]

25. Don't miss this thread. DU classic here:

[nolabear]

26. *sigh* Meat, Meat, Meat...

I honestly love some of his old work. But he's a mess these days. Btw he and John Rich were on Celebrity Apprentice together so I can't help but wonder about that unholy alliance.

[Cha]

29. When I heard it on nc4bo's thread yesterday I wrote: "PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!"

It's a perfect metaphor for what mittoaf would do to America the Beautiful!

[wordpix]

48. "Mittloaf" lol - what you get when you throw every possible R stand on every issue & see what sticks

[wryter2000]

30. They should have had Clint Eastwood sing it n/t

n/t

[SleeplessinSoCal]

31. Clearly Meatloaf is being tortured. Or hates the song. Or Romney. Or both.

[wisteria]

40. That was awful, but I bet the Repbs in the audience thought it was great.

Awful, just terrible.

[jonthebru]

41. This should be banned...

or better yet every Republican voter should be forced to listen to it repeatedly!

[uwbadgerdem]

42. Mitt Loaf, or Mitt the Hoople?

Can't decide which one I like more now.

[sarcasmo]

44. I can see SNL leading with this story, funny stuff.

[FightingIrish]

45. I thought the "We Need a Real Recovery" sign was very appropriate.

These ass clowns are in serious need of treatment.

[AtomicKitten]

46. Randi was playing this on her show today.

Freaking hilarious.
Hilariously freaky.

[Arctic Dave]

50. I would have bet that was a Chris Farley spoof if he was still alive.

Classic.

[cheriemedium59]

52. 'Romnesia' strikes again....he forgets Meatloaf is a has been!

[maddiemom]

57. President Obama has Springsteen, Mitt has Meatloaf. What more can we say?

[and-justice-for-all]

58. What a dumbass. nt

[and-justice-for-all]

59. Robocorp get leaft over meatloaf

and Obama gets POWELL!!!

who you gonna trust?

[groundloop]

60. Does this mean I should stop watching Rocky Horror?

Dammit Janet, just because Meat sang for Mitt I will still watch Rocky Horror.

[daleo]

61. Me too

It is Halloween.

[neversaydie]

62. hells bells

[argiel1234]

63. was this guy in fight club?

[bklyncowgirl]

66. Sounds like Meat's hitting the sauce again. nt
