70 years old - 2024 - still rocking...

[@bobstewart4989]

Heck yeah. I'm 60 and still jammin out.

[@michaelp.9921]

Oh my, this song for me embodies the most unique atmosphere and energy of 1970s music..... I mean this song is the epitome of the best of the sound of the 1970s.....(I'm in my late 50s, and this piece, like all great '70s music, is part of the best memories of childhood.......) Does that make sense? Thanks to all who helped create this song.....I love you!

[@jonseeger3661]

Graduated 78. The radio jammed back then. When my family finds this someday. It was a party.

[@smiddlecn]

I can't believe it took me over 40 years to learn Bruce Springsteen wrote this song! :D

[@notayrtonsenna5124]

It took me a lifetime to know it from you, good sir!

[@Sarah41603]

smiddlecn same here guy... same here!

[@Sarah41603]

smiddlecn found out while watching “Blinded by the light” lol

[@GREG10101958]

BUT Manfred Mann did it MUCH better....in my opinion

[@therealshadow3601]

smiddlecn Bruce is the king of that era for sure 🤟🏽

[@suzan5533]

I always thought their version was the better one. To this day I still do.

[@codyflake3080]

Music like this pretty much brought up my childhood. Pretty much any band predating the 90s I listened to with either my mother or my grandfather. This was when music was an art, not just a career.

[@mikedotson9031]

Yes 💯

[@southflwildadventures]

If you want to take a trip back to your childhood this song is a good place to start for me.

[@rodman0088]

Literally my favorite song of all time. There are so many but this one holds a special place in my heart.

[@DamV-zu6pn]

It’s 2024 I came here to listen to this to it out of my head Anyone else here in 2024

[@philliplambert1]

Me2

[@scrunchymacscruff1244]

This is what happened to me that is why I thought of the song

[@johnbilverstone4160]

Me

[@MsMadShopper]

Don’t make em like this anymore! Needs to be heard bloody LOUD!

[@Julannb]

Me too!!!

[@toddtrillo7445]

There's only a hand full of songs I want played when I die and this is one , have always loved this song right from childhood, as a child I thought this song described my entry to this reality

[@pamspencer5733]

Beautiful,Well said 💙

[@sharky5216]

Much better version than the original they totally made it their own

[@ccsitaround]

Why do I always come back to hear this song?

[@jx5173]

You like the sound of the Calliope crashing to the ground. Probably.

[@ccsitaround]

Yes, I'm back again after nearly 40 years.

[@lauriebebout4927]

One of my favorites. Crank up the tune Every Time ❤️❤️❤️

[@arlenehynes4607]

Me too! Highest volume!

[@vkhken1966]

Feeling blessed to be born and raised in the 60's onward...great music and a much less complicated lifestyle. Nowadays the kids are tracked by parents 24/7 with cell phones. I'd leave in the morning and be gone the whole day and mom would say be home before dark.. yes outside all day. I doubt the generation born in the 2000's can say it was a good time to be raised. I'm on my cell as much as any of the kids and wish to this day they were never invented. The internet has ruined many things.. mostly ADVENTURE.

[@michaelp.9921]

Hear, hear! And Amen! I was just thinking that the other day: - - How much more I was blessed to have grown up in the 1970s than today!

[@cesarregalado3420]

Dedicated to a girl I once knew. Beautiful blond who came to my home wrapped with a Christmas bow. " here she said". I just froze in astonishment, and asked her to leave me alone. she loved this song, so now I think of her when I hear this song. Kathy Hines, J.C. Coonley School.

[@JH-ck1nr]

❤ this song. 1976 was a great summer, better times.

[@michaelp.9921]

Yes.....I was there too, in a way.....I was 11..... 🥲

[@goldog2816]

This song remains it's a real classic, great songs come and go some remain like this one..........

[@tammysimonton630]

This is the first time I witnessed this it's been a favorite song of mine since I was 16. It is attached to me and haunts me. I am now 63.

[@vhm14u2c]

One of two examples of what another artist perception of a song is better than the original artist. Same with ‘spirits in the night’💕

[@marting4597]

No. Spirits in the night by Bruce is unique.

[@sallysampson628]

Wow! I’d forgotten this song! Brilliant I’ll be listening again full blast!!! Real musicians 🥰🙅‍♀️

[@wwdwusmc]

Great song! Oldie but a goodie.

[@OG_Wilikers]

This song sounds like a 70s show opening, a good feeling of nostalgia.

[@robinhodgson7629]

I used to drive from Plymouth to Nth Wales and back again every weekend. The roaring Silence was the only tape I had in the mini, brilliant album and will be in my memory forever.

[@MBCD-]

My new favourite song, anytime I hear it it makes me happy

[@stephenmorris1725]

the 70s was a great decade for awesome music ❤

[@derekmay7271]

Great Bands and songs back then not the rubbish you get today

[@davem3789]

A musical masterpiece. Love the keyboards in this song.

[@jamestaylor7593]

Thanks to Bruce Springsteen

[@777sicilia]

@@jamestaylor7593 Yup 👍🏻

[@shadowcappi415]

Bring it all back bring all the 70s back comes around goes around

[@jacebaumstein]

I heard that too it is so weird when you hear it now and that is not what it always said really makes you think

[@willkennedydrumming]

This song always reminds me when we played in the bowling hall. They played similar music all the time. I love this song

[@PrivateLZG]

Now want to grow up again in the 70'

[@TruthIllinois815]

I remember this song growing up. When music was music and not just noise.

[@cashwalch5766]

So many good memories of childhood and better genuine times always my go to when feeling down.

[@thenaturalpathofdestiny244]

There's a message in this song to be decided. And only one person can do this. The one they're singing about. He's the one, on spot with his sling shot. Like David and Goliath. I'll be David. And the Goliath be "GOD". And I'm on spot with my sling shot.

[@gregorycourtright8033]

Here is Bruce explaining the song and how he came up with it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWaqkqloh9iomck Manfred Mann doesn't even sing the entire song.

[@thenaturalpathofdestiny244]

@@gregorycourtright8033 He doesn't have a clue to what he's saying. Can't you tell?

[@bonesc7201]

I was in a bar listening to a cover band one time. The band was performing Robert Palmer Addicted To Love. My girlfriend and I stood in awe as this one drunk guy was singing at the top of his lungs... "ganna have to face it your a dickhead to love"... we were rolling!!! That guy probably still thinks that's the lyrics to that song...lol

[@lizm2111]

Great song.🎉

[@CarlosSanchez-kd8et]

I used to listen this song on my am radio, 55 KTSA San Antonio TX,

[@Santanapain]

210 my brotha 👌🏽, sa town, aka the tone

[@dkolb65]

song first written and released by Bruce Springsteen in 73. The lyrics alone should tell you what the 70's where like.

[@jimmybarham7520]

Man this beat on point

[@januszdurolek7594]

Das gute song Manfred Mann Earth Band 👍 .

[@Ploggy.]

[@tonyreynolds5112]

Great shit from back in the day. Drugs were cheap and the girls were easy. ☮️☮️☮️🇺🇸

[@spartacusthebringerofrain3007]

The thing that shocked me most about this song was finding out years later this isn't a ELO song.

[@delightful23]

Great song

[@bklynconey0971]

Yep "Wrapped up like a Douche" is what has always stuck in my head for many years too. Lol

[@bread-circuses]

[@roswithagotz2523]

Es gibt verschiedene Versionen von dem Stück. Grad die Live gespielten Stücke sind grandios......

[@oscargarciamiguel6745]

Wuau. Sonido perfecto. Grandes 💪👏👏👏🤘

[@DarrellS54]

Yeah I know it`s a Bruce Springsteen song ( which I didn`t know when I was a kid), but this Manfred Mann version is the definitive in my opinion.

[@drakula420_]

What a banger.

[@aristespenarios7849]

Las canciones tienen como un espíritu errante , me ha pasado muchas veces , vienen a mi sin siquiera pensar en ellas , se aparecen asi de repente , hoy me pasó con este tema...

[@donnafrezza8374]

My all time favorite!

[@mattp.7002]

“Blinded by the light! Wrapped up like a douche, you know the rumor in the night!”

[@jennyaldrich7456]

I also like when they are both singing different parts of the song.

[@jpo566]

Oh Yeah that is crazy cool

[@furzkram]

This song is NOT on the album "Watch" !!! It's from the album "The Roaring Silence".

[@Cyber_Cowboy]

I always thought he said "woke up like a DOUCHE. Another BONER in the night" Anyone else think that or was that just me?

[@paradigmbuster]

When a word that ends in an "s" sound and is too closely placed before "you" then the "s" sound is pronounced "sh".

[@danlee-jv9hl]

Takes me back to 14 ohh yeah..

[@Victorious.Hittaz]

2021

[@salmonisyummiyeet163]

The two greatest “remake” covers of all time are The Letter (Joe Cocker, originally by the boxtops) and this (originally by Bruce Springsteen)

Blinded by the lighhhhht My shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Changingtimes2024]

lets hope they are singing about our future, that bright we are going to be blinded by the light if that's so wear sunglasses 😎

[@juliancalderonnunez9548]

Que recuerdos de 1977 estando estudiando la preparatoria "Hnos. Flores Magón".no la quitábamos de la "rockola" de la cafetería de enfrente aquí en Guaymas, Sonora, México .

[@cherrypie70]

When musicians played instruments and sang harmonies. The only dance was keeping the beat

[@jaimereynolds258]

So great

[@eyalsonego565]

The BOSS🇺🇸

[@myusernameissoobnoxiouslyl1466]

They play this on WROR all the time

[@JustinBraham-p5e]

Sorry Bruce but 😊this is the best version 😮

[@deuce0609]

I heard this song a walking down the street singing do wah didddy diddy dum diddy dooo

[@yesthatbruce]

This is currently my all-time favorite song. Brilliant writing by Springsteen, brilliantly covered (*owned!*) by MMEB. Just two problems with this video: 1. It's the short version; the long one is far superior. 2. The overlay credits are distracting. They're helpful for the band members, but not for all the other credits.

[@tomleal2899]

❤

[@jackkoshel4915]

There should not be more then one blinded by the light on youtube.

[@Matt_Villines]

Turning 31 this Saturday, and took me til today to realize Chris Slade was the fucking drummer…

[@mc76]

I still don't understand why they changed the line from "cut loose like a deuce" to "wrapped up like a deuce."

[@metsfanatic6270]

This is gonna be us in a little while looking at the eclipse.

[@j.vincento7152]

Song is about Bruce Springsteen's drug years. The people all had nicknames as in the stripper or prostitute SILICONE SISTER and possibly her pimp MANAGER MISTER and others such as TEENAGE DIPLOMATE They were partying all night and day and looking out the window for cops. When certain drugs are used it dialates one's pupils open all the way. So when.any light is seen it hurts the eyes bad. It was written as poetry. Beautiful song that will last as long as the human race like the other reply said and I agree.

[@kartondouglas5040]

I tripped the merrigoround... the calliope crashed to the ground... silicone sister with the manager mista.. and gogart Mozart... fucking brilliant

[@ArgHelo]

Alright alright alright

[@mondaynightmitch2823]

One of the best songs ever, Manfreds version anyways

[@thomascayloriv7759]

Wrapped up like a douche another rubber in the night. 🎵
