If God Could Talk Todd and Desmond Discussion in the Studio

That clip that was made available from Meatloaf.net of Todd pointing out to Desmond how inane the lyrics to If God Could Talk are, in which he generally runs Desmond round in circles and makes clear how little devotion Desmond has in making anything other than 4 or 5 minutes bursts of aesthetically trendy noise, tends to put a smile on my face when it pops up on Random in iTunes.

And -- call me a conspiracy theorist (and I have been a bit of a conspiracy theorist of late) -- why oh why was THIS clip put up on Meat's official page? Of all the behind the scenes studio footage that could have been used to promote the album, we get shown footage of Todd telling the songwriter and producer with sound argument why the song on the album is seriously flawed, gives him numerous chances to change the lyrics, only to have Desmond contradict himself, try and change the topic, misunderstand the issue and admit that the lyrics are not designed to be clever, witty, memorable, meaningful or smart but that it's "just a love song".

WTF?
