Headphones, a doobie and a nice chair to just lean back and space out to. This song is a stoner’s paradise

[@Danandrea919]

This was the very firsr 45 rpm single I ever bought! I rode my bike 1o miles to the record store with my $1.04 to pay for it! 😊

[@dagmar.6954]

Manfred Mann was a great British rock band from the 60's. They had some great songs including "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" "Pretty Flamingo", "Mighty Quinn", "5-4-3-2-1" & "Sha La La". Manfred Mann's Earth Band is an English rock band formed by South African musician Manfred Mann later in 1971. Their hits include covers of Bruce Springsteen's "For You", "Spirit In The Night" & "Blinded By The Light" which was a big hit for them in 1976. Interesting Note: Manfred Mann changed part of the lyrics in the the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce. The lyric is a reference to the 1932 V8-powered Ford automobile, which enthusiasts dubbed the "deuce coupe".

[@RushfanUK]

This played on the radio through the long hot summer of 1976, always takes me back to then.

[@glassontherocks]

Revved up like a deuce another roller in the night. This song is about street racing.

[@davidrosen3970]

"momma told not to look into the eyes of the sun, but momma, that's where the fun is"...best song on a snowy night in NY.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Memories of keg parties up at the lake where the music was blasted out across the water and with songs like this the neighbors never seemed to mind.... Well actually most of them were in attendance anyways.

[@zzremington]

This is one cover that I like way better than the original, and that's not a slam on Bruce whatsoever - the break in this song is amazing.

[@jennifertierney9076]

Same here. I love Manfred Man's version.

[@koretmulder6316]

I agree! MM took it to a completely different place.

[@beckiramsey9561]

I heard this version before the original by Bruce Springsteen! I guys it is very well known that some of the lyrics were misinterpreted! I always heard ‘Wrapped up like a Douche’!😂😂 I can still hear it even though I know the correct words now!😂 The musical arrangement is the greatness of the song!! ❤❤ Glad you guys enjoyed it!!❤❤

[@herbhill7591]

A quintessential 70’s song. Iconic. 👍

[@gaginho]

The bass guitar is devastating.

[@BaronessErsatz]

Hey, dudes! Glad you caught this one and enjoyed it as much as I always have!

[@peterborchers410]

Written by Bruce Springsteen, guys. Manfred Mann has a huge hit with this in Europe. Singer Chris Thompson has a very unique voice. You can immediately recognize his voice among many others.

[@raeann63]

I LOVE THIS SONG. and yes, you will want to hear it over and over again.

[@nathaliejuliette68]

Love this band. They have so many cool songs that spread a good mood. Her two best known (cool songs) are: "Mighty Quinn" (written by Bob Dylan) and her anthem "Davy's on the Road Again". Also their song "Lies (Through The 80s)", my favorite (from the album CHANCE), is awesome and I can highly recommend it to you. My favorite albums are WATCH (charted for 69 weeks in Germany in 1978-1979) and CHANCE (charted for 41 weeks in Germany in 1980-1981). We still enjoy listening to their music on long car rides. The band is also still on concert-tour.

[@caroleann_2142]

I saw them in Philly before this song was written. They were awesome! Listen to " The Mighty Quinn"

[@dermaglowpro1720]

Bruce wrote this song when he was 23 years old. The first track release off of his very firs album: "Greetings From Asbury Park" ! Jersey Girl here ! I love your channel guys ! xoxoxo !!!!

[@ianhamilton2035]

You guys would really love their version of, "Quin the Eskimo" !!!! 😃

[@eviekelpie1]

Is that The mighty Quinn?

[@surlechapeau]

The name "deuce coupe" is shorthand slang for the 1932 Ford Model 18 with the side-valve flathead V-8 engine. Deuce is for the 2 (in 1932).

[@glassontherocks]

Wow!!! Someone else knew it was about carz... Most people think its about rolling dice.

[@geoffw913]

Vastly underrated band with some phenomenal albums to their name...

[@DianaJG8]

Classic GREAT song! -->You'll still be hearing it later today. 😁😉

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

As others have said, Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded this song in 1973. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover was a No. 1 hit in the U.S. in 1977 (and the better version. :-) ). ... In 1964, Manfred Mann had his first No. 1 hit in the U.S. with "Doo Wah Diddy." It's a fun song, too, from simpler times, and you may have even heard the chorus before.

[@pffp6246]

Cool 😎 my youngest son favourite song he’s 17 & fortunately for him he’s grown up with all our old school music….Blinded by the Light….. thanks 🙏 guys

[@popsmcgee9775]

Jumped on this is 3 seconds lol - next up by the same band is Spirits in the Night, also written by Springsteen.

[@aileenturrietta7553]

That's a great song too. I agree.

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Excellent suggestion.... Haven't heard that in ages... Gonna go listen to it now.

[@jimled50jl49]

Love Manfred Mann & Manfred Mann's Earthband. They have been going since the 60's before changing their name in the 70's. Love this track. Amazing albums. Checkout the album "The Good Earth" It will blow your minds !

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This one sticks with you. You'll be singing it all day!! Great song!! ✌❤

[@2869may]

It really does...!

[@annemaclean6634]

My goodness, another song that I've haven't heard for years! I remember especially the Manfred Mann band who started in 1962 and lasted to 1969. Gosh, I loved a lot of their songs such as 5-4-3-2-1, The Mighty Quinn, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, and Pretty Flamingo! This is Manfred Mann's Earth Band though which was formed in 1971 and this is a great song. Really good transitions and such a fab tune, loved it! Hope you'll do some reactions to the songs I've mentioned by Manfred Mann - they were so popular in the 1960s and I think you would really enjoy them. Loved your reactions to this song, guys, so interesting and enjoyable as they always are! Cheers!

[@neilfraser6646]

That song was written by Bruce Springsteen by the way great guitar solo

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Live it's a guitar too.

[@neilfraser6646]

@@DawnSuttonfabfour I stand corrected and will alter my comment

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

@@neilfraser6646 Cheers neil. Peace

[@gswithen]

A rare instance when the remake blows away the original version (Springsteen) with such a unique new arrangement. Great reaction. 👍

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

I'm so happy you both enjoyed it so much! This song was very popular on the radio but it was one that you just never really got tired of hearing. I think most of us had the words wrong while we sang, but we still had a great time jamming to it! You have to remember that we didn't have google or even cell phones back then. If they didn't put the lyrics on the inside of the album cover, we were just SOL (Sh!t out of luck).

[@byronmitchell3784]

MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND, "BLINDED BY THE LIGHT".. UNDERRATED, YET NEVER UNAPPRECIATED BRITISH BAND. I SAW THEM OPENING UP FOR URIAH HEEP IN 1973... VERY GROOVY.. more... "SPIRITS IN THE NIGHT"

[@timothyparsons8327]

This version is so different to the.record we played on the jukebox, I love the instrumental centrepiece,and…the vocals, in parts reminded me of Joe Lynn Turner!

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

The lyrics just rock and oh what fun people singing along all the wrong lyrics! I forgot how awesome the guitar rifgs were!!-

[@gregsteele806]

Never saw the actual lyrics for this song. Still don't understand them, but that doesn't lessen my love for this song one bit. :)

[@its.just.connie_3]

MEATLOAF DIED 🥺❤ RIP To a great artist

[@phillcc8524]

every reaction video is on this song , meanwhile the band's penultimate album "somewhere in afriica"is patently ignored , listen to "redemption song" to hear a genius arrangement !

[@ColinChristie1]

Love this song! A masterpiece. And really love your reaction and analysis. Bang on!

[@gazza8127]

Hey Guys, Great band, one of the best Springsteen covers ever, they also covered another Springsteen classic "Spirits in the night" which I highly recommend you check out, would also recommend "Davy's on the road again" Cheers

[@tinalinge2782]

They also did his song, "I Came For You".

[@gazza8127]

@@tinalinge2782 Tks for the tip Tina 🙂

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Springsteen wrote it. MMann owned it. Watch the Midnight Special of them live, its on YT. Can they bring it? Oh yeah, and then some.

[@Katy_r]

I love the guitar tone. Nice reaction!

[@geoffw913]

Vastly underrated band with some phenomenal albums to their name... Give "Road to Babylon" a play👍

[@A00ZINC]

You guys have to try the live version from TV Show " Midnight Special"

[@dexstewart2450]

Mann's 'Angel Station' - so many good songs

[@debbiedebster5806]

Wow, I know every word from being a pre-tween, hearing it 1st time OVER & OVER LOL (we always thought it was " wrapped up like a douche" hee) but now I'm hearing it very Floyd-esque & poetic: was this a crazy fever he was having? Or a drug trip? Whatever it was, I feel great hearing this again thru/with you guys, I SO appreciate it, what a great song! New experience for me, thank you! ♥️✌

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Great song! From my childhood.😘👍😁

[@steveullrich7737]

Great reaction to this classic song. They have more diverse songs to react to as has been suggested by others but definitely do "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" and the "Mighty Quinn".

[@sheilathailand1903]

This is an amazing song! Bruce Springsteen's album Greetings from Asbury Park is so great! Thanks.

[@c.s.m.k5737]

Odd poetry and yet beautiful ❤

[@marysue8815]

Suggestion, this is another good one by Disturbed, The official video for “Hold On To Memories” was released two years ago today. “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have.

[@heidipaulus3701]

and again, going back to music I grew up with, Thank You

[@julienielsen4462]

Wow they were the ones that sang Doo Wah Diddy. They said this was originally Bruce Springsteen's song.

[@johnshannon9656]

Great song.

[@TheCornishCockney]

The album The Roaring Silence by MMEB is a bloody masterpiece but SO underrated.

[@shanmcdonough2933]

Great!!! Have to DANCE - just blew my sister's neighbor's out leaving Sunday 1030 - Great MUSIC - stand up stand up

[@carollittle1059]

Huge hit song°

[@Thiccbeard]

Hey man you guys are brothers!

[@wendyt7958]

Springsteens version is good, but Manfred Manna version is stellar!

[@Thiccbeard]

All of Manfred Mann's well known songs are Bruce Covers, but they did them best!!!! Spirits in the night is one of the best covers ever

[@eviekelpie1]

Written by "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen. So popular when it came out in the late 70s? Another Bruce song you must do is, Because the night, by Patti Smith, the godmother of punk

[@jiffin1]

The song is about cars and girls and being teens in the 1960's in New Jersey ...

[@mikelafata1680]

Song written by Bruce Springsteen.

[@broaction5343]

Thanks for letting us know.

[@ZitaZone]

As Bruce Springsteen says he got a rhyming dictionary and wrote the song

[@davidmaholchic6146]

You guys really appreciate the good stuff love to watch you love you

[@eximusic]

I grew up with the "wrapped up a like douche'" mishearing of the lyrics and have never been able to shake it since.

[@davidhoward7322]

Pop in the 60s

[@elcantrell3]

Nohle shine is in this band he also dose a back up singer in drivers seat another great song check out the song and video the guy put on one hell of a show. Please try Danish orchestra they're all number one chairs they do all the Clint Eastwood movies you'll be amazed at what people can do with an astronaut

[@eviekelpie1]

The Mighty Quinn is another great song by them

[@its.just.connie_3]

good 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶

[@stevemariman8769]

wow! what a masterpiece. after hearing this constantly in the 70s, I've not heard the full version and the lyrics I squinted at, until now.

[@paulwebster3417]

I equate this to baker street by Gerry Rafferty. Not in anyone’s top bands but this song made us stop turning the dial to jam to. Well done!

[@ccrocker5284]

Love this song! Still have no clue what they’re talking about!!

[@michaellebow7420]

This song enters your soul.

[@davidhoward7322]

First 45 i bought great prog rock 70s band

Try their song “Old Time Rock And Roll”. Classic which I am sure u both will luv Hope u r both well Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 Hugs to everyone

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Love the break in the song. It's see ya later time.

[@keithisaacs6092]

Saw this band live in the seventies at a small pub venue they were very good much better than on record.

[@eviekelpie1]

Bros, will you be doing a tribute for the late Meatloaf? He passed away last Thursday aged 74. Heaven can wait Bat out of hell All revved up with no place to go. Much appreciated x

[@2869may]

HEAD EAST ~ "NEVER BEEN ANY REASON".....!!!!

[@margiemcpeak9304]

💯🤯 Super great song & band‼🔥❤

[@thathawaiiandude787]

Great reaction, as always, brothers🤘🏾 This is one of those instances where the cover surpasses the original by Bruce Springsteen. I mean…by far, imho. And I love Bruce. This one of those songs…that if you’re not using headphones or ear buds…you’re just wasting your time in life. I put on my AirPods and get taken on a trip for 7+ mins. 😁 Mahalo for reacting to songs of my youth. Much Aloha, Brothers🎼🎶🎵🤙🏾

[@Moodybootz]

This guy is wearing a Queen shirt and you expect me to believe he has never heard blinded by the light?

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Very proggy.

[@brucer2152]

You should listen to their song "Singing the Dolphin through". Truly prog rock masters. Plus this song has the most incredible saxophone solo ever.

[@tipthetube3219]

On other side of single is STARBIRD.........Suuuuuperb

[@SebGeddy]

There are not many Bruce Springsteen covers which are better than the originals but this one is one of them, just fire 🔥🎸

[@carenhelms8518]

It cracks me up that whoever did this lyric video didn't even look up how to spell "deuce". Sheesh, children!

[@jchampboston]

The song was written by Bruce Springsteen

[@deegomez2089]

All these years and I didn't know Springsteen wrote this! Thanks ppl in the comment section 🎵🎵

[@michaellarson1997]

Give a listen to Manfred Mann's cover of another Springsteen song, "I Came For You".

[@matthewchoder655]

Knew this was gonna be good when the home Depot music came in

[@walterh.6958]

You should react to "Father of day, father of night".

[@SnowEfaust]

Dang...i liked it alot better not knowing what those words were. But you 2 rock

[@brucer2152]

Welcome to Prog rock!

[@davidhoward7322]

By the way lads you need to listen to some early genesis with peter gabriel and steve hackett try the musical box off nursery cryme 1971

[@deanm375]

I was nine years old when this song came out and they played it twice an hour on the radio. Needless to say I learned to hate this song. LOL.

[@wallyllama2926]

In honor of meatloaf passing, maybe you would want to check out his song Paradise by the dashboard light or for crying out loud. They are masterpieces.

[@davidbarker77]

A lot of comedy skits about the indecipherable lyrics and everyone having their own interpretation. Great tune, though. Another example of the cover being better than the original, at least IMO. Cheers!

[@aileenturrietta7553]

Oops I said the quiet part out loud in my comment. Deuce or .....

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

I love Bruce but his version is hideous.
