This is one of those songs that just popped into my head. I rushed to my computer to write it down! Hope you like it…

Doorstop Believer

Just a small time world
Leavin’ in a lonely whirl
She took a midnight drink of it anyways

Just a CD burn
Barney raced in self control
He took a midnight drink of it anyways

I sit here in a Spokane room
I smell Hawaiian cheap perfume
Foreigns smile bacon Sharon Tate
It blows on and on and on

Strange ears
Wading
Morton Downey bully hard
Hair shatter surging in delight
Streetlife
Beeper
Living just to find a moose and
Hide it somewhere on the right

Twerking heart to get my mail
Everybody wants a grill
Handy Mandy won’t you roll the dice
Just one more dime

Summer win
Summer loose
Chuck Norris will drink some booze
On a boat that never ends
It blows on and on and on

Strain jeers
Wastin’
Morton Downey bully hard
Hair shatter surging in delight
Scream like
People
Livin’ just to fight a notion
Hide it somewhere on the right

Doorstop believer
Hold on to that sweet deriere
Streamline
Bingo ahhhhhh!
Doorstop believer
Hold on, is it 3am?
Streetlight
Beeper

Summer win
Summer loose
Some were born to sleep with Jews
Otis muzak never ends
Egos on and on and on

Don’t stop bleeding
Hold on if you’re feeding
Sleek tights
Peepholes
Don’t stop Felipe
Hold on, is it 3am?
Streamline
Bingo

Update December 2012:

Springsteen was recently interviewed and says he changed Manfred Mann’s original lyric from “cut loose like a deuce” to “revved up like a deuce” yet admitted the reason the song went to #1 was because people heard “wrapped up like a douche”. This was the one moment in the history of the universe that millions of people collectively longed to hear a song with this bold statement!

Original Blog July 2007:

According to AmIRight.com, the most misheard lyrics in a song ever is Blinded By The Light, a Bruce Springsteen Song, made popular by Manfred Mann’s Earth band in the seventies.

I must admit, this is a very difficult song to figure out from verse one. I have one word of explanation: drugs.

I nearly coughed up a lung tonight reading the misheard lyrics for:

“Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night”

Be honest. What was your version of this lyric?

I actually had it pretty close, only using “wrapped” instead of “revved”. I did get “deuce” right while I think most people thought Manfred was singing about a nocturnal feminine hygiene activity.

Please enjoy my PG-13 rated, Top 10 misheard versions of this famous lyric:

10. Wrapped up like a goose, let the wind blow through my hair.
9. Lit up like an illusion in the middle of the night.
8. Rapped up like a douche, another rumor in the night.
7. Wracked up, like I knew she was a hooker in the night.
6. Red ball like a douche and throw me out into the night.
5. Wake up like a douche and go running in the night.
4. Wrapped up like you’re douchin’ in the middle of the night.
3. Warped up like Medusa, oh the runner in the night.
2. Grabbed up by a douche, another robot in the night.

and last but not least:

1. Wrapped up with a douchebag’s aroma in the night.
