The end of series seven is nigh! But not before we dive into the requests bin and find out why Meat Loaf ended up on South Park and where Jim pulled one last great song out for the Bat musical.

PLUS we continue our aimless chat about the 90s, remember the time when we were cool and complain about the pains in our bodies. All in one episode. A real roller coaster. It's good stuff!

Chat out of Hell marches gleefully onward into a pair of quite forgettable mid-era Meat Loaf tracks. We chat Meat Loaf's love of adultery in Love You Out Loud, then take a quick trip into the realm of liner-note short stories in Peace on Earth.

PLUS we pitch a sitcom about C-3P0's son, solve the mystery of David Balamezi's identity and find a country musician who looks like a tech billionaire wearing his dad's suit. It's good stuff!

Time to pay tribute to the dear departed Bonnie Tyler with two song produced (but not written) by Jim Steinman and nary a Meat Loaf in sight.

PLUS a bit of chat about why Shireen Davies would sound like a belly dancer, why Bonnie was much better than Meat Loaf and the absolutely nonsense that is Jim Steinman's video for If You Were a Woman. It's good stuff!
