Dead Ringer for Love

"Dead Ringer for Love" is a song performed by American rock singer Meat Loaf and American singer-actress Cher from Meat Loaf's second studio album, Dead Ringer.

The song was originally written by Jim Steinman, Tony Hendra and Sean Kelly as the theme for the short-lived television comedy series Delta House, sung by Michael Simmons.

The track was released in the United Kingdom in November 1981 and debuted at number 63 on the UK Singles Chart.

It later appeared on Meat Loaf's Hits out of Hell and on some Bat Out of Hell re-releases, and in Cher's Greatest Hits: 1965–1992 and Essential Collection compilations Allmusic editor William Ruhlmann later highlighted the song.

He added that, "This unique blend of vocal and instrumental firepower makes 'Dead Ringer For Love' feel like a long-lost outtake from the Grease soundtrack on steroids.
