The economic downturn seen in this country has made many honest, hard-working Americans hit rock bottom, causing them to do things they never thought they’d do. Included in this demographic is none other than iconic American singer Meat Loaf. Poor, poor Meat Loaf. Money must be hard to come by for the ‘Loaf these days. For how else can you explain why the singer of such hits as “Bat Out of Hell” and… OK, we can’t really name a ton off the top of our heads, but regardless, we are positive the Meat Loaf of yesteryear would never stoop to the following depths.

In the following commercial, Meat Loaf, seen eating meatloaf (one word), breaks out into song over the deliciousness of A-1 Steak Sauce. Now, I ain’t gonna front, even typing the words A-1 Steak Sauce is making me salivate a little bit. And as far as the giant bottle of the stuff in the commercial goes, we would gladly take it to prom. Nevertheless, WE ARE NOT MEAT LOAF. We are just random, vinegar and red meat loving citizens.

Behold, Meat Loaf, who will do anything for love, in a world where Love = Steak Sauce:

PS: The publicist, whose e-mail subject header referred to the singer as Meat Load (which is both sexual and delicious), would like you to know that you can win some steak by singing your own song about A1 Steak Sauce and submitting it here. Or you could just get free steak the ol’ fashioned way and sleep with a Japanese businessman. Up to you.
