It wasn't until a few years ago that I saw a You Tube video of the song with lyrics that I learned different. That guy needs to work on his pronunciation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted April 7 Administrators Share Posted April 7 "And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly" ??? That guy was high AF when he wrote that song. Edited to add: I just looked it up and Blinded By The Light is actually a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song. In fact Manfred Mann's version is the only song ever written by Springfield to reach number one on the American Billboard charts. Now there is a kick in the ass for the boss. And FWIW, Springsteen's original version of the song said, "Cut loose like a deuce", rather than, "Revved up like a deuce." I wonder if he did any better pronouncing 'deuce'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I thought the line Go Cart Mozart Checking Out The Weather Chart was about a driver of a nice car but was afraid to drive it in the rain. Basically a poser in the street rod scene. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The springsteen version was horrible. So bad that it is amazing that Manfred Mann was even able to salvage it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Spicoli Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 There is nothing I can say, it's a total eclipse of my ❤️ Actually, there is a lot I can say but will keep it short. 1. I am so freaking tired of hearing about it. 2. The amount of visitors we had today at church was unbelievable. I guess out of towners came to visit. 3. I plan on working and have no desire to see it. 4. You get the same result every day, we call it nighttime. 5. What IF a terror group could pinpoint a high concentration of Americans at a specific place and specific time for an attack? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramjet38 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I will be on I-44 between Tulsa, and Springfield, Mo. during the eclipse. If I leave early enough I could be in Springfield although it won't be epicenter it should have good coverage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
