what song- who by?

Question

Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a Douche, another roamer in the night

please help!

Answer 1

It is originally done by Bruce Springsteen and it is called "Blinded by the Light", but the remake which you are probably asking about is by Manfred Mann's Earth Band called "Blinded by the Light".

Answer 2

Mannfred Man's Earth Band Blinded By The Light

Answer 3

The lyric is "Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night" and the song is Manfred Mann's Earth Band's, "Blinded By The Light ". There's a lot of misinterpretations of that song.
The song was originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen but gained popularity when Manfred Mann's Earth Band remade it.

Answer 4

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Blinded by the Light. correct lyrics are Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night - a Douche is something completely different!! (ask a woman!)

Answer 5

"blinded by the Light" was written by Springsteen

A commonly mis-heard lyric, the singer is not "wrapped up like a douche" and what would that mean anyway?

Bruce said, "The original lyric is 'cut loose like a deuce' referring to a two seat hot-rod, a little deuce coupe. Manfred Mann changed the lyric to 'revved up like a douche.' which is a feminine hygienic procedure." It should be noted, however, that Manfred Mann's website lists the lyric as "deuce" rather than "douche". It was once rumored that Chris Thompson's New Zealand accent may be responsible for swapping deuce for douche. (citation below)


Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce
(fade out)

Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer,
With a teenage diplomat,

In the dumps with the mumps,
As the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat,

With a boulder on my shoulder,
Feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasin,
sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground.

(pickup) the calliope crashed to the ground....

and so on
