14. Dead Ringer For Love

[White of High]

This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic. Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!!

Dead Ringer For Love (7)

I think this song want to be the Paradise By The Dashboard Light of Dead Ringer. I don't like to listen it, but it's a very good dance music. The real rock 'n' roll.

In the video of Dead Ringer For Love Cher is fantastic. Sometimes she makes me believe that she is beautiful. I love her voice. I love her songs. Bang Bang is the best! Cher and Meat are very good pair.

My score: 7



Average: 8.42 (101/12)

[Michel]

Maybe one of the best Rock 'n' Roll intro ever. Typical Jim Intro, simple but great.

I don't know why you don't like to listen to it!

I like Everything Louder/Dead Ringer of Cardiff, great way of performances, especially the way they go from everything louder to the intro of dead ringer super.

Score: 9

White of high, why, just why, don't you like the thing Meat Loaf does?

I mean, in most of your reviews you say that you don't like this, or don't like that......but what do you like?

Don't get me wrong, but this sucks!

[White of High]

OK!

I like in the music the power and lot of instruments. I love for example For Crying Out Loud, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste. I like The Power Of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and some songs by Scorpions & The Berliner Philharmoniker (Hurricane 2000, Send Me An Angel, Crossfire). I like Carmina Burana and I like Beethoven, Bach and Wagner.

These songs make a picture in myself. They can be a vision. Yes, a vision!

For example Dead Ringer For Love is a very good music, but in this song I feel nothing beauty. Life Is A Lemon, Objects In The Rear View Mirror, Bat Out Of Hell, Razor's Edge, Standing On The Outside can give me a vision.
Do you understand?

:twisted: Ready.Aim.Fire.
I've put that because I know i'm going to get put up on a wall and shot for saying this,but Dead Ringer For Love is not one of my favorites.
Don't get me wrong,it's not that I actualy dislike it,but compared to a lot of Meat's music it just doesn't get to me the same way.
Maybe it's because of Cher?some of her stuffs o.k. but i'm not what you would call a fan.I think Patti sings it a lot better.
Good Rock & Roll,but not Meat's best.
Sorry guys :oops: ,but.....
6/10-I can hear the rifle bolts being pulled back now.

[Tim]

Thank God White of Heigh, i thought that you were one of those people that doesn't like anything. :lol:

But Dead Ringer is a great song. Great duet, Cher has something. The clip is also great.

No need for any guns here ... just a big, fat and ugly cat to catch a tiny mouse. :p

Garfield, kittykittykitty ... look there ... food ... :devil:

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: R saidA big,fat and ugly cat to catch a tiny mouse.
R,if you have any intention of sending Cher round,think again. :D (see,I can be bitchy too :P )
By the way R it could have been worse,you could have said a tiny cat to catch a big,fat and ugly mouse 8O.Rock on buddy.
P.S.Cher if you read this (yeah right)i'm only joking.

[Bart]

Did you ever listen to "just like jesse james? from cher? It;s great! it's the best! And the girl is still hot! She's rock 'n roll!
Dead Ringer is a great live act! And we all know that. In 1989 i was at a concert in my hometown (Alkmaar). They did a great act with this song.
i gvie it a 8/10

[Danny L]

This is actually my favourite duet. (The live around the world version!!)

[tukayaway]

Hands up those who've sung this at a Karioke? I have, I rocked, I won a prize.

[Quigmo]

Yet another disapointment that Cher did little to save. But wait, I've now
heard this song live this summer and it was truly fun.
So for the Dead Ringer version I can only give a 4/10.
For the potential I heard live recently 9/10.

[RSG]

I love this song a lot! Full of energy, and it is quite exciting to hear Cher sing with Meat.

[kaz]

This song rules- need i say more? 10/10

[RSG]

This song rules- need i say more? 10/10

nope, you got it down compact right all the way!! :lol:

[RSG]

Although, I don't think it was supposed to be, "Dead Ringer For Love" will never be "Paradise By The Dashboard Light." This is the first song I heard off the album and the music and words are great. So is Cher, but she is always great, what a duet. But nothing compared to Meat and Patti if you ask me. Just heard it again, had to play it, I change my mind.

Dead Ringer For Love - 10/10

[madonna123968848]

GOT to be 10/10 ... I love Cher and Meat (but in different ways of course lol)

[Jayd]

Got to say the original is the best always has been, always will be, no live performance will beat it. Although Patti is great, Meat and Cher did a terrific job on this song and the video. 10/10

[PanicLord]

I

LURVE

This song - fantastic rock'n'roll, and the lyrics are superb and well sung. Also like the video, but I only ever seem to catch the last half on tv etc - don't know why, I just don't seem to be able to manage any more!!!

Anyway,

I reckon, an easy 10/10!

[Woman of Steel]

Okay song...liked it well enough.
8/10 :D

[ChrissybabezNI]

I came to this one first and though I can't choose a favourite MeatLoaf song, this one would have close competition I think this song is fantastic, and so much better when watched with its video. This was one of the first Meatloaf songs i was introduced too, and like all the rest will never grow old.

9/10

[LostSoul]

This song is great! Listen to the vocals... what a duet!
I wish I could hear Meat & Cher live now!

I love the last TOTP UK version! Patti & Meat are awesome!

10/10

[rockfenris2005]

The tune was recycled from the television theme that Jim wrote for DELTA HOUSE. I like DELTA HOUSE better. DEAD RINGER FOR LOVE is not one of my favourites, but it goes well in contrast to READ'EMANDWEEP

[RadioMaster]

Like the song but dont like cher!:twisted:

it´s not very emotional but somehow it´s cool.
Especially the video.

7,5

[mszee]

Cool song and cool video. A little outdated 'cause now in my opinion reminds me somehow of Grease...BUT...love listening to it...SO...

9/10

[sunneke]

not in my top 10 of best songs

[Ross]

Not a Fav... my least Fav from it's parent album.

it's still a good song, but I never feel like "Hey I wanna listen to Dead Ringer"

7.0/10

[samurai7]

A great song, but sounds a little speeded-up. Wonder if that's one of the tricks they used whilst recording the album, as Meat's voice was in pieces at the time.
