Line 27:
* [[Self-Plagiarism]]: Steinman has a habit of reusing choice bits from earlier songs in later works. One of the most obvious is a bridge composed of repetitions of the line "Godspeed! Godspeed! Godspeed! Speed us away!" which has appeared in several different songs over the past 40 years.
** Individual lines often show up in multiple places, such as "Forever is such a long, long time, and most of it hasn't even happened yet". Some of these appear often enough in his work that they approach [[Catch Phrase]] territory.
** Another such line: "Infinite victims, infinitesimal time".
* [[Step Up to the Microphone]]: In addition to the spoken word passages he has contributed to some Meat Loaf albums, Steinman performed lead vocals on the 1981 album ''Bad For Good'' after Meat (temporarily) lost his voice. Most critics noted that his singing turned out to be the weak link on an otherwise strong album.
* [[Teenage Death Songs]]: The title track on ''Bat Out of Hell'' is his most enduring homage to this style.
