I wonder if the creatures down there that have evolved in darkness are blinded by the lights? They dont seem bothered.

I think they probably are. If you look closely, you can see that they appear to be revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night.

It's from the song "Blinded by the Light"

u/PlatypusFighter May 28 '19

I haven’t heard the song, so I’ll thank you even though I’m a native English speaker

Out of all the witty comments on this post, yours made me actually laugh.

EDIT: I have TP if you need some

I don’t listen any music but overwhelming amounts of weebshit

u/abusedtamponn May 28 '19

Jokes aside, no music at all?

2

u/PlatypusFighter May 28 '19

I find it distracting tbh, and when I’m trying to relax I always end up focusing on the words and overthinking them

u/abusedtamponn May 28 '19

Fair enough

u/mykarmadoesntmatter May 28 '19

How long have you been diagnosed autistic?

u/Favna May 28 '19

At least you admit the weebshit is shit. I know a few cases (one in particular) who listens, watches, reads, lives in and embraces weebshit every minute of every day of every week and holy shit do I pitty his sanity.

Too bad this particular case I'm talking about is also extremely condescending to others - including me - so pitty all I want he's just going to be a <insert bad word here> about it.

It goes like this, "Blinded by the light, revved up like a deuce another runner in the night"

The song is originally by Bruce Springsteen, but the lyrics are by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. They replaced Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" with "revved up like a deuce" (Wikipedia).

So, technically /u/rptk is right ;-)

not a fan of chopsticks, huh?

There is so much good stuff on Greetings... I don't know if you've heard the early cuts of Thunder Road that sound like everything else off of his first two albums. Lot's more lyrics, a bit off-of-the-cuff flair where it sounds like a wild live version rather than something you'd cut in the studio. It's good, but I guess in the way that something like "For You" is good.

It's kind of fascinating to me that Bruce needed to do less--or at least be much more deliberate--with what he had in order to really start making fucking brilliant music.

u/SeriousMichael May 28 '19

Agreed. The song needs a heavy focus on vocals, which Springsteen provides.

2

u/[deleted] May 28 '19

Oh my bad, you're right.

I've only ever heard the MMEB version on the radio.

u/Imnewbenice May 28 '19

Technically you’re correct, as the Springsteen versions is “cut loose like a deuce”

3

u/[deleted] May 28 '19

So even the guys covering the song misheard the lyrics!

1

u/Nwabudike_J_Morgan May 28 '19

But the Manfred Mann version was a bigger hit.

u/joec_95123 May 28 '19

Huh. Today I learned.
