Thanks for the note and the link. I found a fix that was a bit better quality so I used it instead.

It's actually "cut loose like a deuce" in the Springsteen original and the tags were tongue-in-cheek, but w/e.

It's REVVED up like a deuce! Like a classic car - the deuce coupe. Also mentioned in a beach boys song.

I just love Manfred Mann. He's such a chameleon. Take a sample of his music from any point in time, and he sounds nothing like he does a few years before or after.

Thanks for the note, I fixed it up. Thanks for the possible fix, it was a nice one but not the same as the original so I used a different source.

Here's some more info from Wikipedia on the lyrics:

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.
