This water balloon seems to stretch and form totally weird shapes and still doesn’t break.

Misheard Lyrics: Blinded by the light

Blinded by the light would have to be up there as one of the most misheard songs of all time. The song was written by Bruce Springsteen and was the first song and single from his debut album Greetings from Asbury Park NJ.

The Song was also recorded by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band and became a number one hit for them in 1977.

“The chorus of the song features the commonly misunderstood lyric, “Blinded by the light, cut loose 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.” 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.”

Although Manfred Mann had more success with this song on the charts and I do like their version, I have to say that Bruce’s original version is still my favorite and Greetings from Asbury Park NJ holds pride of place in my collection along with many more of Springsteen’s Albums.

A version of the song by Springsteen from YouTube which is close to his original sound on Greetings (sound is slow to start)

Oh! the indignity, the shame, I’ll never be able to show my face in these parts again

Now I’d never hurt, nor would I wish anybody to harm a cat; with the exception of feral cats that do so much harm in the bush… but I do love to see their supercilious nature dented.

Sea Cliff Bridge

For those of you who don’t know the Sea Cliff Bridge, it lies about an hour or so south of Sydney, NSW Australia. The coastal road between Sydney and the southern city of Wollongong had to be closed for approximately 2 years while the bridge was built. The bridge was completed on the 11 December 2005 at a cost of 52 Million dollars. You may have noticed in the previous Shell Ferrari post that this bridge is used for a portion of the ad.
