Actually, Bruce Springsteen's lyrics are: "Cut loose like a deuce..." not "Revved up like a deuce," "Wrapped up like a douche," or "Wrapped up like a doosh." *snort* Manfred Man changed them up then screwed them up....
edit: oops - failure to read all posts... what a doosh!
Yeah, a Moog synthesizer, while singing about douche wraps!
(Actually, in homage to Bonnie, I should spell it "doosh." Hee! I slay myself.)
Are you kidding? They used a Moog synthesizer!
Yeah, that doesn't make much more sense than "wrapped up like a douche." Stupid earth band.
I remember that song! Written & sung by Bruce Springsteen, but the version that caught on--and the one that used that often-mangled phrase--was by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
I think I finally figured out that it was "Revved up like a deuce" ("Cut loose like a deuce" in the original) decades later. :-)
Anyone remember that song "Blinded by the Light"? "Wrapped up like a douche"? No?
Maybe it was just me...
Alternatively:
She's got electric boobs...
"She's got an electric suit/ a "Moherzoo"/You know I read it in a maga-zay-EEN/ Oh, Oh....Oh, b-b-b-Benny and the Jets.... -- Elton John
"Bingo Jed, a line on/Don't carry me away. (Big ol' Jet airliner/Don't carry me away...
(Steve Miller Band)
More mondegreens than you can shake a proverbial stick at. All wrapped up in a heart-warming hymn tune.
My own guilty recollection is of SBS news reports while I was cooking dinner. From the loungeroom I'd hear this journalist's tagline wafting through to me: "Yes I'm an asshole, SBS news."
After hearing it a thousand times, and finding out that the reporter is of Serbian origin, I now know that it's Vesna Nazor.
*blush*
You should name this list mondegreens, f.
Very clever list idea, frindley. This is going to be a big earworm generator!
