In the Manfred Mann cover of the Bruce Springsteen song, I used to think “wrapped up like a deuce, another runner in the night” was “wrapped up like a douche” (as in, the feminine hygiene product). I didn’t know what that meant, but that was how the singer pronounced it.
[It’s actually a reference to a Deuce Coupe wrapped around a tree, from running from the coppers.][/quote]
So it’s NOT douche?
Damn.
Anyway, Manfred Mann’s version is better that Springsteen’s.[/quote]

oh my god, that was hilarious.
About 4 years ago, when gas prices first got above $5/gal., the card readers at the pump starting asking for verification that the card was yours, usually in the form of the billing zip code. Except, it would only ask for “zip code”. On 3 separate occassions, I asked someone else near me filling up their car, what the zip code of the station was that we were at. Twice, coincedentally, it worked. Once, it didn’t.
For the longest time in No Country for Old Men when Carla Jean asked Llewelyn “What’s in the satchel?”
I thought he said back “Bowl of money”.
I knew that seemed dumb because it was clearly not in a bowl, but then after watching it another 15 times I realized he said “Full of money”.
MAKES WAYYYY more sense.
I recite that scene with my kid all the time and he refuses to say full of money because I taught him bowl of money and he wont believe that it’s actually supposed to be full.
In “Do They Know It’s Xmas?” by Band Aid, I thought the first singer said “and we banish Eddie”. I always wondered who Eddie was, and what he did to get banished.
Looked up the lyrics on teh interwebz recently and it says “we let in light and we banish shade”. Judge for yourself which of us is right…
My mom told me that I always touched burning hot objects when I was little. Of course we later found out that I don’t feel as much pain as normal people…

You were right. It was Eddie Money that got banished. Poor guy never fully recovered from the incident.
