This weekend I heard an old recording of a disturbing duet. Robert Goulet and Meatloaf were singing the Christmas harassment song It's Cold Outside to each other on an Andy Williams Christmas special. It was awful. Just awful. Meatloaf was all like, "I really can't stay" and Robert Goulet was all like, "Baby, it's cold outside." At one point, about halfway through, Robert Goulet ad-libs, "Come on, baby. No one like cold meatloaf. Let's warm it up." It was just terrible and it gave me nightmares.
I lied. That didn't really happen. I made it up. Sorry about the nightmares you might have as a result. I just paint on the mirror, people.
