Case in point: Bruce Springsteen and Blinded by the Light I had no idea that the boss wrote the song. The original lyric was cut loose like a deuce instead of wrapped up like a douche, as Manfred Mann sung it.

I think my all time favorite song by Springsteen was the Patti Smith classic "Because the Night".....he also wrote the song "Fire", which was a huge hit for the Pointer Sisters.

I thought it was 'Revved up like a deuce'?...talking about a car There is few good comedy skits about that song and what people think the words are.

That's what the lyric sites will tell you, but I read somewhere that one of the guys in the band (might have been the singer, Mike D'Abo) admitted they were singing it as Joey typed.... One other thing I learned (that I wasn't aware of before) is that Jack Bruce was briefly in the band, before becoming a member of Cream....

That's what the commies want you to think, lol. I know what I heard... I just watched a video where Bruce explains the lyrics, he clearly has no idea what a deuce is either. It's specifically referring to a 32 ford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who didn't want to listen to the song because of that. I had to explain to him that it was "Excuse me while I kiss the sky." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the correct words! Me too. I do it intentionally as well. I've taken to sillifying certain songs that I play like weird Al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the middle of the song, he comes over to me and says "Here. I don't feel like playing this anymore." I say, "I don't know this song!" (Yes, somehow I had gone over 30 years as a guitar player and never picked up that particular tune) Anyway, he responds with "Yes, you do.", takes off the guitar and puts it on me.....I listen for 30 seconds or so and figure out the progression is, C - B flat - F. I look at him and ask, "Is that it?" He nods and I say, "Oh. Apparently I do know it".... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliG Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) useful info, English is my second language and writing is not my strong suit. I study chemistry abroad right now. It's not so easy but I found service for chemistry homework help. These guys helped me to get the highest score in the class. Useful service for foreign students.
