Revved up like a deuce. That's a two door hot rod.

[who?]

A deuce is a "32 Ford hot rod. You can hear it more clearly in the original Springsteen version.

Instant increased respect for Mann after just learning he synthesized that from a cr@ppy hick springsteen folk song, which I just painfully listened to for the first time.

Lol, I always thought Mandred messed it up. To each his own!

Fair enough. I never heard the springsteen song until now and always loved the MM version, so I'm a little biased. Not to mention it was springsteens first album so its naturally a little raw sounding.

Oh my goodness. That was... just... horrible.

I'm not a Springsteen fan, but I've at least been able to understand why some people like his music. This, however, causes a disturbance in the Force unlike any I've felt before.

I hate all songs that just repeat the refrain over and over again, and this song goes the extra fuckstick lazy musician mile and puts it in the round. Worst classic rock song ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever...


Do Wah Diddy Diddy... glorified cover band. Talentless defined.

I thought there was some great musicianship in that song.
