Old as the hills, but hilarious. The supposed "real" lyric is "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce." The song was written by Bruce Springsteen. But Manfred Mann's cover of the song (which got insanely popular) sounds like "wrapped up like a douche." It's not a slight sound either... the "sh" sound is really pronounced.

that "sh" is totally unnecessary.

That's the original artist (at least sounds like the original artist).

A deuce is a reference to some old Ford car.

But it totally sounds like "douche." I can't see how it wasn't intentional.

edit: OHound, it was originally a Springsteen song and then it was covered by Manfred Mann. Manfred Mann's version, well, sounds like douche.

Yeah... I guess Springsteen's cover sucked. Either that, or people just found more lulz in hearing "douche" on the radio multiple times.

Never knew the Boss wrote it. I always remember hearing douche as a kid and laughing at this song . . .
