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, feelin' kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground

Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break"
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it through the night

Mama always told me not to look into the eye's of the sun

Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone,
that's where they expect it least"
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance

I always thought the title was "Blinded by the Light." Now I'm really confused. I know a friend swore the lyrics were:
Blinded by the light,
Wrapped up like a douche, with another rubber in the night."
Thought I was going to die laughing the first time I heard her singing that.

LOL - Everytime this song plays in the car, SO and I argue about the words he is saying - I say Douche - He says Duce - and it does sound like a rubber in the night. Everytime I say well I am looking on the internet and promptly forget about it once we get to wherever we are going

From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinded_by_the_Light
"Deuce" versus "douche"
The chorus of the song (Manfred Mann version) features the commonly misunderstood lyric, "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night." ("Deuce" refers to a '32 Ford Deuce Coupe.) Many listeners hear the word "douche" in place of "deuce." [1] Manfred Mann's Earth Band changed this line slightly to "revved up like a deuce" (often misquoted as "wrapped up like a douche") and repeated it much more frequently in their version than Springsteen did in the original; they also omitted parts of the verses and rearranged the order of the remaining lyrics.
Springsteen, in his 2005 VH1 Storytellers appearance, lightheartedly made the assertion that the sole reason that Manfred Mann's version of the song went to number one is that the altered lyric is actually "revved up like a douche". 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.... so, they're different." 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 douche for deuce; however, this cannot be correct as "deuce" said with a New Zealand accent is pronounced something similar to "juice". (Another result of Mann's accent is the word "runner" being pronounced as "owner" to American ears.) A Manfred Mann performance seems to support the "altered lyric" position. While "deuce" and "douche" would be pronounced in much the same way, in the video, the singer clearly seems to be singing "wrapped" - rather than "revved" - consistent with the "douche" lyrics listeners have heard.

OK, maybe I was the only person who ever mis-understood this lyric...
When he sings "and little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly" I used to swear he was saying "And little Early Pearly gave my anus curl a whilrey".
Come on. Like it would be a far stretch from a douche and a rubber in the night.

There are several out there -
Anyone remember -
Wild Cherry -
Play that FUNKY music white boy?
YEah there's another one that my mother broke on the back of the record player. KWHAM! and No more Wild Cherry.
I think while I can play by ear - I can't discern lyrics worth a hoot -
While traveling to ND (a long trip by car) with a fidgety difficult child and no AC, and a dog -
We were traveling in Nebraska and all of a sudden DF sings
"THERES A BATHROOM ON THE RIGHT"........
I knew exactly what he was singing - but seriously there was a rest area on the right. No Creedence to THAT statement.
