Misunderstood lyrics

[cowboybiker]

Apparently, "wrapped up like a douche" is incorrect.

[SP1966]

Our oldest daughter used to sing "Do a little dance, make a little love, get donuts"! She also used to sing "My name is Chris and I am funky" instead of "My name is Prince..."

She's also the daughter who upon hearing a classic song tells us it sucks and the original is better. Of course the one she thinks is the original isn't and the one she thinks isn't, is.

Yes, her blonde goes deeper than her roots!

[cowboybiker]

I never understood why CCR would sing about "There's a bathroom on the right"

[cowboybiker]

And almost everything by Bob Dylan.

wut?

...and all these years singing it like that. I feel cheated and slightly butt hurt from all the "douching"...

So what is the line then?

Revved up like a deuce.

Even knowing it correctly, I still sing it wrong

"Manfred Mann's 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" comes across as "SH" due to a significant lisp)."[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]"

Ditto...too late in life to stop douching...

I always thought BTO's Taking Care of Business sounded like Baking Carrot Biscuit's.

[DuracellBunny]

Bohemian Rhapsody is full of bits that people get wrong.

Skip the light fantastic instead of skip the light fandango in whiter shide of pale is pretty normal too.

[DocHoss]

I always thought it was "wake up like a douche"


Let's not forget, "Don't let me down, Bruce!"

[paolo59]

I don't even try to understand the lyrics to most songs, way back in the day, much less now. I never could tell what the hell they were saying.

I thought so.

But.. even if was different, I'd still sing it that way.

[JediRN]

For 25+ years I thought it was "We gonna jam at a light house" instead of "Big ol' jet airliner."

I'll still sing it my way even though I know better now.

So it's not Bruce? You guys don't even want to know how we sang "Bang a Gong"...

You got me runnin' goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time

Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm tellin' you it's go to be the end

Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down

What happened to the girl, I used to known
You let your mind out somewhere down the road

Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right

Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, Ooo

Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down, Bruce
Don't bring me down

You're lookin' good just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass

Don't bring me down, no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, no no no no no no no no
I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down

I'll tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Why can't I picture the song you are referring to? I may need a hint to get through some cobwebs...

I should have known that considering my leg night consists of ACDC followed by ACDC and ends with ACDC. Their music makes me angry in the gym...profit!

Same here. Sadly, I must spread some reps before giving some to doucheman again.

[Fishman15]

Back to the douche song...am I the only one who thought it was "roamer in the night"? My whole life seems disingenuous now...
