Another 10 tomorrow ....

Manfred Mann's Earth Band: "Blinded by the Light"

No, Manfred Mann vocalist Chris Thompson does not sing "wrapped up like a douche." The line is "revved up like a deuce," referring to the 1932 Ford model 18 coupe with a V8 engine. The car was popularly known as a "deuce coupe." The "deuce" is the last number of 1932. Bruce Springsteen's original lyric was "cut loose like a deuce." The car is immortalized in the Beach Boys' 1963 hit Little Deuce Coupe.

Once I am done, I am going to repost the Madness top 50 with their unmadness positions. There is little correlation between the 2 lists particularly after you get out of the top 10.
