- Manfred Mann's song "Blinded by the Light" has inpossible lyrics.
-
-
- SO reckons she and a friend worked the chorus out to be:
-
- "Blinded by the light
- Wrapped up like a douche
- and an aroma in the night."
-
- They resorted to checking the lyrics on a songsheet, and found it was:
-
- "Blinded by the light
- Ripped off like a deuce
- Another runner in the night."
-
- I vote for verse 1 in the comprehension stakes! :-)
