Both sides are fighting over whether or not "Blinded by the Light" is a good song.

A quick check on Wikki says you are right.

Shouldn't there be a poll or something? :confused:

Yeah but I personally think his version sucks hardcore.

But the douche is the ruler in the night or something.

No, it's "wrapped up like a douche, another runner in my eye." And if you've ever had to open a Summer's Eve, you know how the damned wrapper plastic doesn't rip, but just stretches and stretches, like hot pizza cheeze, so you have to go find scissors, and your hands are full, and your pants around your ankles, and now you're so angry and not at all fresh that you squeeze the bottle too hard and get a nice runner of vinegar and water right in the eye and boy doesn't that feel good! :mad:

Yeah, I'd be so angsty I'd have to write a hard-rockin' song about it, too.

Ah, "Blinded by the Light": one of the few songs that makes less sense when one knows the actual lyrics.

Rather proggy, though. One could make a pretty good re-imagined cover of it, if one's band were so inclined.

Indeed. The calliope crashing to the ground probably sucked.

The far superior Bruce Springsteen version is not proggy at all. That's one of the things that makes it so much better.

Doubtful. Farting in a microphone would be superior to a Bruce Springsteen song.

How did you get a hold of my demo?

The real lyrics go: "She ripped up her douche, another boner in the night."

Glad I could clear that up for everyone.
