"You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" , or also known as "Hot Summer Night" is the first single by the American musician Meat Loaf in his solo career, followed by "Paradise By the Dashboard Light". It is a track off his 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, written by Jim Steinman.
[edit] Bat Out Of Hell's Hero
Steve Patsovisk listened to the beginning intro to the song and accepted Bat out Of Hell to Cleveland International Records. What's ironic is Meat Loaf, Jim, and the band tried for a year or so to get the record label and how they did so was a 45 second recording with no singing at all.
According to his audiobiography, Meat loaf asked Jim to write a song that wasn't 15 or 20 minutes, and , in Meat loaf's words, a "Pop Song".
When released, it wasn't a too successful as a single, for it was too "Theatrical" to critics. The track never got fully noticed until it became a B-side to "Paradise By The Dashboard Light".

The video, as "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" and "Paradise" , was filmed in a concert lot and Meat Loaf is in his signature suspenders, ripped shirt, and red scarf.
