Bat Out of Hell is the studio album by American singer Meat Loaf, released in 1977. The songs were written by Jim Steinman and produced by Todd Rundgren, with a theatrical, bombastic rock style that leans on Steinman's narrative lyrics. Well-known songs are the title track, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad", "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" and "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". The album became one of the best-selling records of all time.
