Title: "Wrapped up like a douche-"!
Post by: RCMerchant on September 04, 2018, 09:20:04 PM
Is on Wikipedia-!

"Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of the song changes the 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. This is commonly misheard as "wrapped up like a douche" (the V sound in "revved" is almost unpronounced, and the S sound in "deuce" comes across as "SH" due to a significant lisp)."

The duece was a reff to a 1932 Ford coup,  a popular model. With hot dodders.

I heard the "V". It sounded like "Revved up like a douche".

Proofread before you hit post, Sven. Seriously, that just shows respect for other people here.

Glad you clarified that song, RC, I spent years trying to figure out why someone would wrap up a douche anyway. It would seem like a strange gift to wrap and give.

I refuse t spend far longer fixing a post than i did writing it anymore., it's just one of those things in life I finally just said "XXXX you!" to...

It's your choice, Sven, but if you want others to take you half as seriously as you hope they do then that would help you come closer. I'll say no more about it.

Well, I won't promise any such thing! Why bother to write anything at all if no one can understand the thing?
You may as well just type random letters-because at times it's like trying to decipher hiroglyphics.

You have said you can qualify for Mensa-huh?
Yet you can't type.
Maybe it's like an Einstein who failed math class kinda thing?  :question:

Fact is- if you expect people to read your posts-make them readable.
You come across as lazy.

No hard feelings, man. Just don't b***h at me because your too lazy to do a simple thing as type a line of letters that make up words.

It was a beautiful day today.
Me and Tiana grilled burgers under the carport, me and my son Eddie went to the store, I smoked some good pot,-the weather was 67 ,cloudy-felt like it wanted to rain, but it didn't. It was beautiful. I love Michigan in the fall.

It's a great song.  :cheers:
