Jim changed a line in that song from 'the peanuts are knocked on the floor' (which is lame) to 'a ribbon of blood on the floor' (which is cool), so I'm pretty certain he came up with 'I'd do anything for love' as well.
Also I think this is the original version and doesn't have Jim's tweaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku8yQ6xNLPU
I read somewhere that Bonnie was supposed to say the 'anything for love' line but felt shy/uncomfortable, so Jim did it (in a female voice).
See the article at the link.
I'll say no more, except to tell you that even the lesser songs have been shined up by the addition of JS lyrics, "Yeh, this song had a line about peanuts on the floor, so I changed it to a ribbon of blood on the floor. That's a line from a song I've always wanted to write, a rockabilly tune about a Christmas slasher called 'I'll Decorate The City With Ribbons Of Blood.' I'll do it one day..."
Also, the 'ribbons of blood' title is great...someone should write a song!
