Top Gear

[Heli]

I'm just watching Top Gear on telly and they're doing the top driving songs of all time....and they are complaining that "Bat Out of Hell" by our Meat Loaf is number 1 at the moment!! :shock:

WHATS WRONG WITH MEAT JEREMY!!??!! Huh?!!

I recon we all go onto the top gear website (www.bbc.co.uk/topgear) and complain that Meat Loaf isn't just a "fat man" !!! We LOVE Meat Loaf!!!!!!!

[AndrewG]

Yes Jeremy is rather narrow minded. Entertaining at times, but stubborn. I quite like the program but think his views on cars are kind of fantasy. Not all of us can afford a DB9 or Ford GT Jeremy! The car related educational/environmental value of their show is rather close to zero if you ask me.

I thought he would slag off Meat Loaf, typical Jeremy. Though I was pleasently surprised "Bat out of Hell" is stil at number 1 of their driving songs. Hope it stays that way even after Jeremy's stupid pleas not to vote for it anymore.
Of course bat out of hell is the ultimate car song, it's the best song ever! "Breaking outta my body and flying away......................... Like a BAT OUT OF HELL!!!"

BTW Jeremy is rather fat himself if I may say so!
Maybe we should hold a petition for getting Meat Loaf on Top Gear as the weekly guest. He would sort Jeremy out anyday!

(at least they spelled Meat Loaf correctly on the board)

My comment to the BBC:
"I thought Jeremy's comments on tonights show on Meat Loaf were rather harsh. "Bat out of Hell" is a great song according to many viewers, so he should respect that. I feel Jeremy sometimes goes too far with his personal comments. He is an entertaining person Mr Clarkson, but commenting on an artists' weight just to voice his own opinion is rather juvenile. I along with many viewers would like him to be more positive about one of the best driving songs ever. If he cannot do that he should not hold the survey in the first place."

[ChrisBelfast]

vote for bat out of Hell as no.1 driving anthem just to annoy him, you can do it through the website :-)

[karen jackson]

yes i did see tonites show....i do like jezza and his comments may be harsh. but sticks and stones...and yes i have voted meat..because if he does win i can watch with a smile on my face knowing he hates it...now whos a silly man... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Heli]

heehe i love Top Gear! and Jeremey hating Meat is just as fun! LOL!!! I recon someone from here should email him on behalf of mlukfc! LOL see if we can get on the telly :P!!

[RockingBat]

What on earth does Jeremy mean by.... "The top 10, as it stands at the moment, features AC/DC, Motörhead, Steppenwolf, Queen, Kenny Loggins, Golden Earring, and rather disturbingly, at number one, Meat Loaf’s appallingly pretentious Bat Out of Hell."
He's probably disturbed to be making such comments.... and I voted Meat in...lol... and we should all do that.

[Ageing Bat]

The more of us that vote for Bat out of Hell, the more chance it has of being No. 1. Presumably we can vote more than once too :twisted:

[LucyK!]

Aw I love Jeremy Clarkson!! And despite what he said about Bat Out Of Hell - he still knew the opening lines to You Took The Words!!

[Heli]

Aw I love Jeremy Clarkson!! And despite what he said about Bat Out Of Hell - he still knew the opening lines to You Took The Words!!

:lmao: you're right about that! LOL

[Rebel 1]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/
LET'S VOTE!!!

[rick]

have voted shame there isn't a comment's box
the only thing that worries me is which kenny loggins song is it
the only one that should be there is the danger zone from top gun, anyone know? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[LesleyM]

Top Gear is currently running a survey for the 'Best Driving Song' - current number is of course ..... BAT OUTTA HELL !!

However Jeremy Clarkson (he of the bad haircut, sad wardrobe and dubious taste in transport) is waging a campaign to get the big man outvoted.

Use the following web address to place your votes and keep the big man where we all know he should be - at the top !!

Remember if you have more than one email address (work and home maybe ?), you can vote more than once !!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/

[Rebel 1]

there already is a topic like this Lesley!!

[SuperLoafMan]

I usually watch Top Gear every Sunday but last night i was out and missed the show, although i did vote for Meat Loaf, Bat Out Of Hell last week....:D

I will watch the repeat show today i think it is on and then see what he says about Meat, but i must say though a few weeks back, maybe in 2004 there was a free CD given away with the newspaper called "Clarksons Best Driving Songs" or something along those lines and Bat was on there....so how can he be slagging him off if he had it on a CD....he talks some right carbage sometimes doesnt he :|

I bet if there was a contest between Meat and Clarkson, Meat would kick 10 balls of s**t out of him!!! :lol:

[Asha]

It's on tomorrow at 7:00 pm BBC2

[SuperLoafMan]

Thanks Asha!! :D ;)

[rachelba]

They appear to have removed the voting page!

[Rebel 1]

"Because of technical problems with the vote we have decided to temporarily remove the feedback form from this page. We hope this will be reinstated soon."
According to the site but maybe we did overdo it???????????????????

[Cpl Mickey]

[Asha]

Remember now, I'm Dutch and Golden Earring is one of my fav bands, but I wioll vote for Meat, off course.

Well my 2 cents,

Asha

[Asha]

Visited the topgear website, but it announces that the vote is now closed

Quote:
Thank you for your interest in the Top Gear driving song. This part of the vote is now closed.

[SuperLoafMan]

[needmoremeat]

Brilliant! I've finally managed to vote!!!!!!!!! :twisted:

Liz x

[Asha]

Voted :twisted: :twisted:

[tukayaway]

Ok, now we've got to start ringing through our votes. 09011 986363, and then you want option 5. 10p a call. Personally, I don't think Bats going to win it now :roll:

But they have promised a small review and history of each song.

[Chris]

Or Clickety Click (http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/)

[Asha]

:twisted: Hehehehehehe!!!!! :twisted:

[SuperLoafMan]

Ha....I voted again...I reckon he will be number 1...he deserves to be!! ;)

[LesleyM]

When Meat wins the vote Clarkson will claim that he deliberately said it was crap just to get us all to vote and that really he wanted it to win all along - he is than kinda guy - he will somehow take credit !!

[Rebel 1]

Who Cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Louise]

When will the results be announced? I don't usually watch Top Gear, but I'll have to just this once :D

Louise x

[Asha]

They are going to feature one of the songs in the top 5, in each of the next 5 shows, and after that will be the results, i think. So 5 or 6 weeks.

[Cpl Mickey]

:D Just voted again for meat Loaf. Lets hope it gets to number one

[Asha]

Today's song was Radar Love by The Golden Earring

[SuperLoafMan]

I wish the f****n b*****ds would stop slagging off Meat Loaf calling him all names uner the sun!!!! :evil:

They are only jealous cos they all look like f****n p*****ks and they wouldnt know a good song like Bat if it hit them head on whilst they were speeding around their track in a bloody DB9!!!

I am in a bad mood now, I may write in to the show, tell them to get Meat on the show for celebrity in reasonable priced car, him do the lap and then for that prat who is going bald, shorty and time warp to try and slag Meat off whilst her is there in front of them, He would rip them to pieces, :twisted: :twisted:

Right....Good news about the vids been shown, cant wait for Bat Out Of Hell to be played, Keep Voting!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

[yetimusic]

Just keep voting guys, just imagine the look on Clarksons face when he has to announce Meat as the winner. It'll be a moment to savour!

I particulary enjoyed a week or two ago when it was pointed out to him that Bat featured on a CD endorsed by Clarkson himself, he was quick to get over that fact!

Don't get me wrong i enjoy watching both top gear and clarkson but he's got to be one of the most arrogant people on tv and i hope that he's humbled by the mighty Bat!

[amethyst]

Well i have to say i voted once, well maybe twice, okay okay a few times ~ whistles innocently ~ and i got loads of others to vote too ~ grinss.

ames

[Rebel 1]

We all voited only once (twice.......) didn't we :roll: :cheers: :whistle:

[Rebel 1]

O yeah Ross,
DON'T get so upset he'll get his turn!!!
:bicker: :bunny: :nuts:

[SuperLoafMan]

He sure will!! ;) :lol: :cool:

[Joyful]

I just voted...let's say a couple of times.... :lol:
For Meat ofcourse!!!

[DIZZY DRUMMER]

I voted

When does it close - although it did accept the vote(s) :cool:

[Asha]

Today's feature song was Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild.

[Caelan]

I've voded too and a lot of dutch fans also

[Caelan]

as Jeremy said:

First a quick reminder, if you haven't already done so, please vote in our hunt for the Greatest Driving Song (http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/driving_song/). Remember, surveys have revealed that people who vote for Meatloaf often have body odour control issues and are rubbish. So vote for whatever you want, as long as it isn't Fatoaf.

You know who to vote for.......

come on

www.bbc.co.uk/topgear

[SW31]

justed voted the odd fewwwww times ,no one can tare meat down

[Caelan]

true

[Bat out of Friesland]

I don't watch every scene about Top Gear, cause JC onely likes Aston Martin, Ford, and all other crap of the UK and USA.

Hmm, number 5: Meat Loaf: Bat out of Hell
Nuber 3: Queen: Don't stop me now.

Greats,
Henderikus (Bat out of Friesland)

[amethyst]

I voted once.... well maybe twice.... well okay three times :oops: oh heck i voted loads :D :D :D :D .

love to all

ames xx

[Bat out of Friesland]

Hmm, It seems to me that Meat doesn't make it against Queen:S

Greets,
Henderikus

[M.Bison]

I just voted for Meat. As for my opinion on that Jeremy dude, this voting campain to get Meat off the No. 1 Driving Song is absoulotly silly! If he can't stand the fact that Meat is No. 1 on the Driving Song Charts, then he shouldn't pay any attention. I can't stand anyone that says anything scornful about Meat 'cos, one time I had bought the Melbourne Symphony DVD to my friend's grandmother's house and one of his cousins was untactful as hell about it, saying scornful things about Meat. That's why I can't stand anyone that says scornful things 'bout Meat. You get the picture anyway.
M.Bison

[AndrewG]

With all the hype they are creating about Meat he will probably win it. But what will happen, will they get Meat on the show then to perform the song? Probably not, they rather look at a Db9 all night!

[Caelan]

hehe well it would be fun to see Meat in top gear racing.and kick ass.hihi but no I don't think he will come over there to race.
aahhh well we'll see what the future brings ..

[Bat out of Friesland]

Hmm, when comes that episode with Meat?

O don't think if Meat wins the contest, because he isn't so famous as Queen.
I think :roll:

Hmm, but I like Meat Loaf more than Queen.

Greets,
Henderikus

[Heli]

Hmm, but I like Meat Loaf more than Queen.

Greets,
Henderikus

See thats hard for me because i'm a huge fan of both....but Bat beats most Queen songs anyday, especially when your in a car!

[Bat out of Friesland]

WEll, you've got a point there.

Don't stop me now isn't better than Bat out of hell, but I like them both.
Ofcource Queen has better numbers, especially Bohemian Rhapsody.

But I'm offtopic now, and that isn't right :S

Greets,
Henderikus

[Shadows On The Wall]

They called him a colossal ofh

Not nice :(

[AndrewG]

Just more ignorance as we're used to from that programme and those three terrible human beings:

Discriminate on people's appearances (and cars they drive!!) - Make fun of illnesses without knowing what they can really do to people - Drive and promote fuel inefficient cars - Kill the Planet - Pretend you have a brain cuz you're on BBC

It would be a sad day for a patient in a hospital to see Jeremy Clarkson or one of his two sidekicks come in and try to cheer him/her up with nonsense stories. Their attitude towards my favourite music has shown their true dark side and highlight the thinness of their comedy material. Why have this contest if they don't appreciate people's choice of music ?!
I know these are jokes, but they have become jokes gone bad and have gone too far! They have crossed the line between fair comment and discrimination and as a result have one viewer less. Surely this kind of stuff is much worse than broadcasting Jerry Springer the musical ?! At least in a programme like that you know what you will hear when you tune in! :roll:

I showed that clip to my mother (Meat Loaf fan of course) and she does not understand how they get away with that kind of talk.

However Meat Loaf himself and his music has helped bring love, support and happiness to millions around the world. So I think we know where we stand.....

he's way to negative to mean what he says..
but we'll see what happens:D

[SteinLoaf]

You know is it me or has Jeremy Clarkson actually distanced himself from James May and the backstabing of the song ?!?

I think he might actually have BAT in his CD Changer lol

[SuperLoafMan]

I think you may be right there SteinLoaf, I know it was on a free CD of Clarksons in the newspaper so he must like it,

[SteinLoaf]

I think you may be right there SteinLoaf, I know it was on a free CD of Clarksons in the newspaper so he must like it,



Yeah well that's good. I emailed him and said if BAT didnt win and if Meat couldn't get on to perform it...give us a call and i'd let them play with my db7 whilst the rest of us loaf-lovin' human beings get on an enjoy a sweet sweet victory for a fantastic song lol

[SuperLoafMan]

Lol....go SteinLoaf! :D:D

Just got a phone call- Meat came third, Clarkson made some comment but I don't know exactly what.

[Heli]

"Don't stop me now, i'm having such a good time i'm having a ball" :mrgreen:

AND we got to see Roger *worships*

[wizardofodd]

now i watched the programme and it seemed to me they cheered when they anounced meat was 3rd, seemed like they didnt want him 2 come number one. happy for queen thou they are a fantastic band, good song aswell.

[AndrewG]

Shame Meat didnt win. But they probably would have rigged it anyway as otherwise they'd had to fly out to New York to give him the cheap trophee. :))

[AndrewG]

From the TopGear website! :"Thank you for your interest in the Top Gear driving song vote.

We can now announce that the winners of the Greatest Driving song are Queen, with Don't Stop Me Now. Thank you to everyone who voted, especially if you didn't vote for Meatloaf." :evil:

Can't even spell those bums... :roll:
So it should be Jeremyclarkson I guess?? ;)

[Caelan]

hhmmm to bad he didn't end up first after all.. but 3 place isn't that bad..

[AndrewG]

Three out of Five ain't bad? ;-)
