Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Blinded By The Light"
Misheard Lyrics:
Lit up like a douche
another brother in the night
or
Blinded by the light.
Of course I could do,
she know the ruler in the night
another brother in the night
or
Blinded by the light.
Of course I could do,
she know the ruler in the night
Original Lyrics:
Blinded by the light.
Revved up like a deuce
another runner in the night
Revved up like a deuce
another runner in the night
Springsteen's original version states "cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night", where Mann's version states "revved up like a deuce". Mann took a great deal of creative license with Springsteen's lyrics (with Springsteen's blessing) when they recorded the song. The Springsteen version of the song is very rough and choppy and bears practically no resemblence to Manfred Mann's version on "The Roaring Silence".
