It is easy to say that there is no musician like Meat Loaf. With a distinctly powerful voice belting out gothic rock opera ballads, the legendary rock and roll singer and actor has some fantastic songs to his name such as "Bat Out Of Hell", "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" and "Dead Ringer For Love" (which he dueted with Cher.) His sudden and tragic passing has truly shaken many fans all over the world.

With such recognizable and dramatic music, the songs of Meat Loaf could perfectly be used in movies and television shows, be it part of a soundtrack or performed by one of the characters in the movies. His most famous, of course, is his own role in the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show, but there are so many more shows that use his songs (without using him as a character). Meat Loaf already lives on in the legacy of his music and these movie and television moments help cement his well-deserved legendary status.

Skins - Bat Out Of Hell

Out of all of Meat Loaf's songs, there is perhaps none as iconic and synonymous with the singer as "Bat out of Hell". The long and legendary gothic rock song is the titular track of the equally legendary album, which later led to two more follow-up "sequel" albums.

With such a powerful track, it is only fitting to be used in a series finale. British teen comedy-drama series Skins utilized the iconic song for their first season finale. Other notable songs used in the finale were "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith and "The Final Countdown" by Europe.

This Is 40 - Paradise By The Dashboard Light

Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann in This Is 40

Although she is not the leading role, This Is 40 is among one of comedy actress Melissa McCarthy's best movies on IMDb. A spin-off of the more well-known movie Knocked Up, the movie focuses on the dilemmas of a married couple as they face turning forty.

Meat Loaf's songs are often karaoke material and great to sing along to, and the duet "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" is no exception, even if it is over eight minutes long. In This Is 40, Pete (Paul Rudd) is doing just that, singing along to the classic song at the top of his voice. Whilst fun to sing along to, it is impossible to be as good at singing them as Meat Loaf himself.

Mindhunter - Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad

One man holds a picture of a dead body as the other looks on in Mindhunter.

"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" is a particularly notable love ballad from Meat Loaf. It is one of his slower and gentler songs overall but it is no less powerful and beautiful to listen to.

The song is perhaps used in great context in the seventh episode of the thriller series Mindhunter. Meat Loaf can be heard singing this love song as FBI agent Holden Ford and his girlfriend Debbie start getting intimate with one another. What makes this even better is that the series was set in the late 1970s, around the time when Meat Loaf was at the top of his game.

The Film From Lot 15 - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

The Film from Lot 15

"I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a gothic power love ballad that is considered to be one of Meat Loaf's greatest hits. Fans still like to question what exactly is "that" that Meat Loaf would not do for love.

The song was used in the lesser-known comedy movie The Film From Lot 15, in which an amateur filmmaker strives to complete a movie in ten days with the help of a ragtag crew. Although the cast and crew are not well-known in mainstream culture, the movie has scored a respectable 7.7 on IMDb.

Cold Case - Hot Patootie

Alongside his music career, Meat Loaf was also well-known as an actor and one of his most famous roles was also his first. Meat Loaf played delivery boy Eddie in one of the most influential movie musicals of all time, the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Showwhere he belted out the beloved song "Hot Patootie".

This song, and other songs from the camp cult musical, were featured in an episode of the crime drama series Cold Case, which was very aptly called "Creatures of the Night" (a reference to another song in the musical.) The episode was set around seeing the movie, and even guest-starred Barry Bostwick, who played Brad in the original movie.

Sausage Party - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Another movie to use "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is the crude adult animation Sausage Party. Ranking as one of the best Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg movies on IMDbSausage Party is a surreal story of anthropomorphized food products learning that their purpose in life is to be eaten.

The iconic love song is used in a montage of protagonist Frank the hotdog's separation from his love interest Brenda the bun. The sequence even features Meat Loaf anthropomorphized as a pack of (what else?) meatloaf. There is even a nod to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" on his packaging.

King Of The Hill - Paradise By The Dashboard Light

King of the Hill

Despite its cancellation in 2010 after 13 seasons, King of the Hill remains one of the most popular and recognizable adult animated sitcoms to this date. Like other animated sitcoms, King of the Hill wasn't short of its use of popular music in its episodes.

The thirteenth episode of season 3, "Peggy's Headache", featured Meat Loaf's "Paradise By The Dashboard Light." Even though it's a very lengthy song, the episode only features a short segment during a baseball game, which is very fitting since the song includes a baseball broadcast and metaphors alluding to the sport.

The Vow - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum in The Vow

There is another scene of a classic Meat Loaf song being sung along to in the car, only this time, it is used in a more romantic setting rather than for comedic effect. Once again, "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is used for serious effect in The Vow.

Starring Rachel McAdams (of Mean Girls fame) and Channing Tatum, The Vow is a romance that sees a man try and win over his wife all over again when she loses her memory after a car accident. The song is sung by Leo (Tatum) on the way home from the movies to his wife Paige (McAdams), moments before the dreaded car accident.

Miami Vice - Standing On The Outside

Miami Vice was one of the best network TV cop shows of the 1980s and for a good reason. What made the show so well-received at the time were its innovative scripts, the excellent main cast of characters, and use of music.

Of course, in this case, its use of music consists of using a song from Meat Loaf in one episode. In the season 3 episode "Forgive Us Our Debts", one of Meat Loaf's lesser-known songs "Standing On The Outside" is used during criminal Hackman's last request.

The Seventh Continent - Piece of the Action

The Seventh Continent

The Seventh Continent is an Austrian drama from 1989 that focuses on a family that seemingly leads a normal life but hides something much more sinister. Whilst a lesser-known movie today, it was nominated for Best Foreign Language Movie at the Oscars. Meat Loaf's "Piece of the Action" is one of three diegetic songs used in the movie.

One of Meat Loaf's lesser-known songs is "Piece of the Action", which was part of his album "Bad Attitude." The songs' themes of wanting to leave a backbreaking mundane life behind are fitting for one movie that the song does feature. The fact that one of his lesser-known songs was used in a foreign language movie proves just how big of an international star Meat Loaf was.
