** His role as Eddie in ''Rocky Horror''. He bursts out of a freezer (on a motorcycle, of course), sings a song, and is not seen or heard from again. Until the dinner guests realize that [[ImAHumanitarian he's become the main course.]] "[[AudienceParticipationSong Meatloaf]] [[ActorAllusion again?!]]"
** He appears as Jack Black's father in ''TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' and sings in "Kickapoo." It is awesome.

* IfICantHaveYou: Averted; a song on ''Hang Cool Teddy Bear'' has the same name as this trope, but instead the next line is "I don't wanna be me." It's that kind of song.

* PissTakeRap: ''California Isn't Big Enough''. Made blatantly obvious from the PrecisionFStrike noted below.
* PrecisionFStrike: If you haven't heard ''California Isn't Big Enough'' yet, you may not expect the start of a slow, calm DoubleEntendre song to suddenly lose the 'double' part, when the volume kicks up and he belts out "I CAN BARELY FIT MY DICK IN MY PANTS!" BoastfulRap indeed...


Added DiffLines:

* TheSongBeforeTheStorm: Appropriately, "Stand In The Storm" from ''Hell In A Handbasket''. The next track is, indeed, a lot of thunder and lightning (and titled "Blue Sky").


Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyGentleSong: ''Bat Out Of Hell 3'' closes with a lullaby-esque song, of all things, titled "Cry To Heaven". It's kind of sweet.
