Before his hit Bat Out of Hell came Meat Loaf’s role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

In the 1975 film adaptation of the Broadway musical, Meat Loaf played Eddie in the musical, a wild and crazily unfortunate ex-delivery boy who sings out Hot Patootie before reaching a tough end. 

The film, which also featured Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, has since become a cult classic. 

Its soundtrack was also certified gold and reached the Top 50.
