You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth

"You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" (also known as "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)") is the first single by the American musician Meat Loaf in his solo career. It is a track off his 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, written by Jim Steinman.

The album version includes a spoken word intro by Steinman and Marcia McClain. This was removed from the single version and most radio spins.

Background

Steve Popovich reportedly listened to the intro to the song and it became a key factor of his accepting Bat Out of Hell for Cleveland International Records. The ultimate irony was that Meat Loaf, Steinman, and the band tried for a year or so to get the record label with their music, and how they allegedly did so was a 45-second recording with no singing at all. The song has a reminiscently Motown feel to it, particularly in its echoed vocals, drums and drum breakdown.

According to his autobiography, Meat Loaf asked Jim to write a song that wasn't 15 or 20 minutes long, and, in Meat Loaf's words, a "pop song." His autobiography also dates the writing of the song to 1975, the song reportedly being a key factor in Meat and Jim deciding to do an album together.

Hot Summer Night (Oh La La La)

"Hot Summer Night (Oh La La La)" is a song recorded by Spanish singer David Tavaré, featuring 2 Eivissa who features in the credits (the song uses a vocal sample from 2 Eivissa's "Oh La La La"). Luigi Ricco and Ambrogio Crotti, from Team 33, which produced the original "Oh La La La", also produced Tavare's version. It was the second single by the singer and was released first in July 2007 in Spain, where it reached number 2 on music charts. It also reached number two for two non consecutive weeks in France, about a year later.

  • Fast food

    Fast food is a type of food that is prepared and served very quickly, first popularized in the 1950s in the United States. While any meal with low preparation time can be considered fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out/take-away. Fast food restaurants are traditionally distinguished by their ability to serve food via a drive-through. The term "fast food" was recognized in a dictionary by Merriam–Webster in 1951.

    Outlets may be stands or kiosks, which may provide no shelter or seating, or fast food restaurants (also known as quick service restaurants). Franchise operations that are part of restaurant chains have standardized foodstuffs shipped to each restaurant from central locations.

    History

    The concept of ready-cooked food for sale is closely connected with urban development. In Ancient Rome, cities had street stands that sold bread, sausages and wine.

    Fast food (disambiguation)

    Fast food is the term given to food that can be prepared and served very quickly.

    Fast food may also refer to:

  • Fast Food (film), a 1989 American film
  • Fast Food (video game), a 1982 game for the Atari 2600
  • Fast Food (1987 video game), a game in the Dizzy franchise
  • A brand of snack cracker, popular in the 1980s
  • Fast Food (1987 video game)

    Fast Food (sometimes referred to as Fast Food Dizzy) is an arcade-style maze video game in the vein of Pac-Man featuring the video game character, Dizzy the anthropomorphic egg designed by the British-born Oliver Twins. The game was originally released in December, 1987 and published by Codemasters. It was the third game to feature Dizzy.

    Dizzy's aim in each maze is to gather all of the food (burgers, pizzas, etc.): some of the food also moves around the maze, either evading Dizzy or trying to meet him. Dizzy is pursued by four mushroom-like monsters: Bonzo, Wizza, Pippa, and Fido. Power-ups and breakable walls add to the complexity of the game.

    Because of the simplicity of designing arcade-style video games, the game was playable within three days of work; the developers only took two more weeks to finalize the graphics, interface and music.

    The game was originally to be a marketing tool for the Happy Eater chain of restaurants, but this idea was dropped during development and Dizzy was added to the game.
