More Than You Deserve is a musical written by Jim Steinman and Michael Weller, produced by Joseph Papp and directed by Kim Friedman.
[2] Weller's original title for the play was Souvenirs, which referred to the severed ears of killed Viet Cong forces which the soldiers collected and wore as keepsakes on strings around their necks.
However, she realizes at the end that she will be even happier giving up her newfound lust for sex to settle down with the impotent commander.
Steinman and Meat Loaf first met during the production and would go on to make the multi-platinum album Bat Out of Hell.
The title track from the show was recorded by Meat Loaf for the album Dead Ringer.
