ok
im a huge fan of meatloaf (the singer)
and of course im excited about his new album
so a few days ago he released a video on the internet revealing the title of this new album
here it is




ok
so what do you make of that?
hang cool teddy bear?
to be honest im not sure if i buy it
not a very rock n roll title
maybe he could be throwing us a dummy?
if you listened he said hang cool teddybear 4
so
could it be a big cover up for bat out of hell 4?
who knows?


anyways
