"Wrapped up like a douche-"!

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.

Yeh, I know what a "deuce" is. Not sure what a "dodder" is...

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.

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.
