Blinded by the light.  Wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night.









Yes I know, that's not how it goes.

Thanks for that. Now not only do I have that song stuck in my head, but the line you quoted is the only one I know.

I hope you're proud of yourself.

I know a lot of the song, but it hardly makes any sense to me.   Maybe it's not supposed to.  Sorry Art.  It was in my mind too, and I thought I'd share the love. <3

I didn't know it was possible to rev up a piece of faecal matter in the first place.

Last time I'd looked, I'm pretty sure "Wrapped up like a douche" was mentioned on the song's Wikipedia page, so prevalent is the meme.

It seems it was supposed to be "cut loose like a deuce". That actually makes some degree of sense.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Lyrics

The Earth Band's recording of the song features several changed lyrics. The most prominent change is in the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce."[2][3][4]

This is commonly misheard as "wrapped up like a douche (the V sound in "revved" is almost unpronounced and the S sound in "deuce" is easy to mistake as an "SH" sound)."[5][6] Springsteen himself has joked about the controversy, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a "feminine hygiene product" that it became popular.[7]

It really does sound like douche to me, not deuce. I know what he's supposed to be saying, but it seriously sounds like he intended to say douche.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Jimi is responsible for this and actually said that line many times during live concerts. It is also rumored that he pretended to be gay and in love with a fellow soldier to get kicked out of the army.

More reasons that is Jimi the man  ;D
