Music Trivia Quiz # 6

"Left In The Dark" was originally to be released on the sequel to "Bat Out Of Hell". However, Meat was unable to record the album and Steinman recorded the album "Bad For Good" himself, including this song. The song was later recorded by Barbara Streisand, and was eventually recorded by Meat, himself. It was one of only two Steinman songs on Meat Loaf's "Welcome To The Neighborhood" album.

"Walked away, heard them say, 'Poison hearts will never change.' Walk away again." This is such a cute song. There are two parts to this song. If you listen to part two, it sounds totally different.

"Peer Gynt" relates the life and picaresque adventures of the play's title hero, a thorough scoundrel who is, nonetheless, both likable and deeply human. Peer spends much of his life searching for elusive happiness and fulfillment; in the beginning of the play, he abducts and then abandons the bride at a village wedding. He is loved by the virtuous Solveig, but he abandons her to seek his fortune, and further adventures, abroad. At one point, he goes to Arabia to sell religious artifacts, and becomes celebrated as a prophet, but his money is stolen by the dancing girl Anitra. Eventually, he finds his way back home and is welcomed by the forgiving Solveig, now an old woman. Solveig's love saves him from the Button Moulder, who captures those who are not good enough for heaven nor bad enough for hell and melts them down into buttons. Towards the middle of this rather bizarre tale, Peer seduces the daughter of the Mountain King, who presides over a court of gnomes, trolls, and witches. When the King tells Peer that he must marry his daughter, Peer refuses and flees from the King's lair. He is hotly pursued by the King's subjects, who threaten to break off his fingers, kill him, and tear him apart; the piece entitled "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (which ends the first "Peer Gynt" suite) vividly describes his flight and his narrow escape.
