-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Hahaha! Every time I hear this song, I hear my dad howling “Wrapped up like a douche” at full volume. R.I.P. dad - I miss you every day.
This is a tune (S for me) that will make me sit in my driveway for 3 or 4 minutes when I get home from the grocery store. This thing comes on, and I can't not listen all the way thru. Really good choice, guys.
Well said! I thought I was the only person that did that lol
Same
Me too
S for me too
One hit or not, this song is a wonderful S thing
I can’t believe it took you guys this long to hit the song. It’s incredible I’d forgotten how incredible
How
This is on classic rock… all the time
I remember having to show my Dad the lyrics for this to calm him down. He still went off every now and then.
😂
Thank god you listened to the full version. I’d have been sad if you missed the guitar solo.
Yes 👍👍
"Revved uo like a Deuce" - a '32 Ford Model 18 V-8 motor ("nicknamed 'Deuce' by motorheads)
This song reminds me of my best friend since we were teens in the 70s. I can still hear her singing, "But Mama..." She passed 3 years ago. Miss you, Lorraine. Thanks for the memory, guys.
I was a teenager when this was released on the radio. It was played over and over. The soundtrack to a couple of great summers! P.S. "Deuce" refers to a Deuce coupe, which was a specific type of hot-rod back in the day as per the Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe" song. Peace.
Good times!!!
They also covered Springsteen's Spirit In The Night. Oh, and a Deuce is a Deuce coupe, a cool hot rod . And that piano piece (in the solo) is called Chopsticks. I just love the fat Rickenbacker bass tone. The solos, the choir, this song has it all.
Oh, and Manfred Mann had a few hits in the 60's. The Mighty Quinn and Doowup Diddy Dum Diddy Do.
Yeah, it's kinda funny they don't know chopsticks. 🤣
The Deuce is also "The Devil." You'll find that in old (40s and 50s) stuff. And a tongue in cheek scene from Buckaroo Banzai (can't find it online, but where he went to where the thermal pod crashed.).
What does wrapped up like a deuce mean? I get deuce, but why would it be wrapped up? Help me!
@@pattyliedel6485 in the original Springsteen version, it’s “cut loose like a Deuce.” It’s a reference to hot rods, like a 1932 two-door…aka - a deuce. 😉
Let me tell you how ubiquitous this song was in the 70s. Kids where blasting it from their Firebirds and Camaros. Parents were from their station wagons. I still remember keeping my transitor radio close waiting anxiously for it come on. Timeless masterpiece.
Hoping you’ll see this since I’m early, my dads almost 60 and he watches you guys and I’m almost 16 but me and my dad have the same reaction to watching you guys and it’s great, love you guys, love classic rock
That’s so freaking awesome my friend!! Tell you Dad we said what’s up!!! 🔥🔥
Do you watch Father and Son Reactions?
@@theplanetruth haven’t heard of them but I’ll check them out, thanks for the recommendation
@@andyandalex - I understand! I'm 66 and I LOVE you guys! I never miss your uploads. I remember back to you guys recording in Andy's bedroom! 😊
I still love “‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy” - Hendrix.
LOL, nice
Thats a good one. The non gay version of course is sky, not that there is anything wrong with it 😂
"There's a bathroom on the right." CCR
I'll never be your pizza burnin'.
Not really misheard though
He sure made a ton of progress in just a few years, from the ‘60’s pop classics like “Do Wah Diddy” and “The Mighty Quinn” to this extended instrumental epic with a full-on ‘70’s rock edge.
This is Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
@@tomlemery8490 it is Manfred Mann's Earth Band, which is the third iteration of Manfred Mann. The first was with Paul Jones as lead singer and had hits like Doo Wah Diddy Diddy, the second iteration was with Mike D'Abo as lead singer and had hits like The Mighty Quinn. MMEB weren't a different band, just a different iteration of them.
@@garymaidman625 I learn something new every day. Thank you for the info. There is always talk about Manfred Mann incarnations being one-hit bands.
@@tomlemery8490 they were anything but one hit bands. I named one hit each of the first two iterations, but they had many hits. The first iteration had other hits such as Pretty Flamingo, Come Tomorrow, 5-4-3-2-1, If You Gotta Go, whereas the second iteration of the band had other hits such as Fox On The Run (not to be confused with the Sweet song of the same name) and Ha Ha Said the Clown. They were quite a prolific band in the 60s and one of the British bands that recorded a lot of Bob Dylan songs. Manfred Mann was also the keyboardist/organist of the band and not the lead singer and was South African by birth.
@@garymaidman625 I see.
This was written and originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen in 73. Crazy lyrics, but it's one of those songs you crank up when it comes on in the car. Enjoy your videos A & A!
I'm pretty sure Bruce traded this song with Manfred Man for the song "Growing Up".
@@coolworx Uh no. Both songs written by The Boss. And this cover is absolutely terrible.
Bruce said he wrote this in a style to try to sound like Bob Dylan lyrics. He wrote the song with a Rhyming dictionary and that is why some of it is nonsensical.
@@coolworx No both Blinded and Growing Up are songs Bruce wrote about life on the Jersey shore, as well as For You which is another Springsteen song that Manfred Mann also covered. The first line of Blinded "Madman drummer bummers and Indians in the summer" refers to "Madman" Vini Lopez (Bruce's first drummer) as well as the Indians, which was a summer league baseball team Bruce played on while growing up...
@@John_Locke_108 Nope. Anyone who does a Springsteen song sounds better than Bruce who puts on a strong show for people but writes garbage and sounds like crap. Of course, opinions vary.
Hadn't heard this song in years and I was reminded just how good it was, the guitar work was exceptional.
Ya know, I’ve never heard this full version of the song until today that I remember, it’s always been the radio cut.
This totally blew my mind when that guitar solo came in and it’s almost like a whole other song’s length before it finally ended. Man I totally loved it, hell I always like the shorter version for that matter. Awesome review guys.
I don't if I ever heard a radio cut of this. Most classic rock stations I've listened to play the full version. It's one of the long "DJ needs a bathroom break" songs.
I've heard both versions. Sometimes I like the short one, sometimes I want the long one. It's a mood.
GT, same here! I’m 51 and I’ve heard this song a million times, but always the radio version. So cool to hear this full album version!
The inner portion of the longer album version was retroactively shoehorned into the shorter version, which *came first*. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, you'll hear a chorus-repeat of "the calliope crashed to the ground" coming after a different set of (retro-inserted) lyrics. That's the place where the inserted part ended and it resumes the original track.
Me either and I've heard it 5 million times.
All-time favorite! For some reason triggers very specific memories. It’s seventh grade, I’m riding the bus to school in the winter, doodling in the frost on the window. Or I’m in history class.
I felt it important to share that.🥱
This song has always felt like an artwork to me, close your eyes and imagine. I was lucky enough to see them live in 1975 at Winterland S.F. with Journey (pre Steve Perry).
I decided at the last minute not to go to the '75 Winterland concert, and I've always regretted missing a chance to see Manfred Mann. I saw Journey several times pre Steve Perry, what a great band they were!
Wow what a Great Lineup
You’re really lucky! Journey, pre-Steve Perry, was an absolutely amazing band. Unfortunately, I never got to see them. As far as I’m concerned, they were completely different band with the same name as another band.
One day, I was with my friend Ginger and the radio was on. The song Bad Moon Rising by CCR came on and we were singing along. Where the song says "There's a bad moon on the rise" with all the confidence in the world, she sings "There's a bathroom on the right." She honestly thought those were the lyrics. We laughed about that for years. R.I.P Girlfriend, I smile and think of you every time I hear that song. As far as THIS song is concerned, I definitely had to look up the lyrics when this song was popular. I would rate this A because it was a bit too redundant to rate it higher, also I am still tired of it from all the radio overplay it had the two times this song was charting, first time by Springsteen.
Understand 😁
Andy practically smiled through the whole song, and I don't blame him. Great song
1970s iconic song .....played all the time on the radio. I've heard it thousands of times.
Immer gespielt in meinem Jugendzimmer
The tune you recognized on piano is called Chopsticks and is widely known because for many people it's the first thing they learned to play on piano. In the show Quantum Leap, the protagonist (Sam Beckett) Jumps into the bodies of people in different times. One episode he jumps into a concert pianist at the start of a concert. The only thing Sam knows is Chopsticks and plays that to a packed concert hall.
I remember that episode! He actually leaped into the pianist right at the *end* of the concert; the audience is applauding and, of course, Sam finds himself sitting at the piano on stage with no idea where he is or what's happening. When the applause dies down and he realizes they're obviously waiting for something, he plays Chopsticks as the "encore", and gets away with it because the audience assumes the concert pianist is doing it as a joke, and not because Sam's swiss-cheesed memory can't come up with anything else to play. :-)
It's also the piece they play in the movie Big, by dancing on a huge keyboard
Oh I miss that show
I can't believe this is the first time your guys got to hear this song!?!? Such an iconic song! Definite "roll down the windows and crank it up" and compete with your friends trying to sing along...and get them words right!
When have you heard "Chop Sticks" played in the middle of a rock song, either? Always LOVED that part!! 👍😁
MY VOTE for misunderstood lyric was CCR "Bad Moon Rising" - Instead of "there's a bad moon on the rise" it sounds like "there's a bathroom on the right". 🤣
This was FUN guys, please do it again!! ❤️
If I remember correctly Weird Al Yankovic recorded that CCR tune and changed the words to "bathroom on the right"... I knew the correct phrasing from the original release but loved the rewrite when I first heard it.
@@betseyr.9081 - I don't remember hearing that, Betsey, but that's AWESOME!! LOL - thanks!! 😁
Are you the ex-girlfriend of the guy who commented earlier???
@@kayelle8005 - Don't know who that was, or the comment... Help me out here.
@@DianaJG8 I’ll try and find it but I was reading through the comments and a guy mentioned that he was driving in a car with his then girlfriend and she confidently sang the lyrics “there’s a bathroom on the right” and they laughed a lot about it when he told her the real lyrics. I’ll come back and edit if I find it.
Oh I found it. Sherry Heim. So probably not a guy. Found a few others who also heard it that way so must be a common misheard lyric. My fave misheard lyric was my friend who thought the line in the B-52s song Love Shack was Batman on the door baby which had us both in hysterics when I explained it was Bang bang on the door baby.
It looks like Andy analyzes the music as it's happening, perhaps scientifically (I couldn't think of a better word) overthinking it while Alex lets the music overwash him, enjoying the moment without so much cognitive analyzation, just letting the flow go. Alex's approach seems more liberating. I love the blend of different approaches, yin and yang, the perfect counterbalance. Keep up the great work gents.
I have the same thoughts all the time...ying and yang.
Perfectly put!
That 'old song' on the piano is called Chopsticks.
Featuring the incomparable drumming of Chris Slade, who also played on classics ranging from It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones, to Thunderstruck by AC/DC, and a ton of other great stuff in between.
He also played on the Asia "Silent Nation" album.
@@markjacobsen8335 as well as some of Olivia Newton-John's earliest work, and two albums with The Firm, featuring Paul Rodgers & Jimmy Page.
Wow. Had no idea. Love Chris Slade.
He also sings the verses on the outro while the lead singer is belting the chorus. They tore this up on The Midnight Special and I was shocked finding out it was Chris doing that part.
Saw them do this live.I was about half way back in the concert hall and they had a bank of lights that came on when they hit the Blinded by the light part and you could feel the heat!! The people upfront musta got a sunburn.They were opening for some band called Boston.......
Nice
Ok young men. You are hearing all this great music in your 20s. Can you imagine hearing this song an others in the 70s as a 12 year old 😳 huge impact.
I was 9. 🔥
@@kevn99 you're one of the lucky ones
What I love about this cover is it is so different from the Springsteen original. They swung for the fences and it works. That being said, I like the Springsteen version a little more, but both versions are crank it up songs.
For me nothing compares to the original. This one just has too much going on and saps the fun out of the song.
If you're going to do a cover, have something original to say or don't bother.
Looking at you, Gu Gu Dolls and Sugar Ray.
Two other covers that eclipsed the originals, Kris Kristofferson's Me and Bobby McGee is my favorite version of his song, but Janis Joplin made it hers.
Bob Dylan famously said that the first time he heard Jimi Hendrix play All along the Watchtower he knew it wasn't his song anymore.
This cover beats the shit out of Springsteen's original.
I think this version works better because the musical styling really plays up the psychedelic, stream-of-consciousness nature of the lyrics. Springsteen's version seems a bit too straight-laced to really fit the weirdness of the lyrics, IMO.
The term for mis heard lyrics is "Mondegreen" , there was actually a song based on this idea. It was "Judy In Disguise (with glasses)" by John Fred and His Playboy Band , it was based on "Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds" - great song.
And I think Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has about 10 of them!
@@MoMoMyPup10 there's a few Elton John songs on that list.
Did you ever have the book called 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy, And Other Misheard Lyrics?
I had it and got such a kick out of all the different songs in the book.
Sadly lost it in a fire, and I've never found it again.
Do you know root of the term "mondegreen"? If not, it's from an old Scottish poem featuring the line "laid him on the green" which people confused for "Lady Mondegreen."
@@badkitty4922 I did! Some of the mondegreens were hilarious. Steve Miller's "Bingo jet had a light on," Peter Gabriel's "She's so funky, yeah," and the Creedence Clearwater Revival classic "There's a bathroom on the right" were particular favorites.
@@mc76 yes! It reminds me of a story on how Mexicans started calling white people Gringos because of a song in that era called Green Grows The Grass. Or, maybe it was a lyric, either way I thought it was kinda cool.
There's a book out there called 'Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy by Gavin Edwards. It's all about miss--heard song lyrics.
Follow up book, "He's Got the Whole World In His Pants". I had both
“On a dark desert highway, Cool Whip in my hair.”
@@christineh14 Never heard that one before. Best laugh I’ve had in a while.
My mom actually called the radio station to get the lyrics to this song because we couldn’t figure out the words to it.
They covered another Springsteen song “Spirit In The Night”. You might enjoy it. As just Manfred Mann they covered a Dylan song “Mighty Quinn”. Good top 40 hit.
Manfred Mann~ Meine Jugend !!!!! Späte 70 iger
In the uk they had loads of hits , Dylan songs mighty Quinn number 1 oh no not my baby another .
For You is my fave of the bunch
They did a great version of Bruce's "Spirit in the Night" as well.
that entire album is a masterpiece
I like "Runner", from the 80s, as well
@@nunyabizz3357 I believe "Spirit in the Night" as a 1977 version was added to the later bluish vinyl of The Roaring Silence, after "Blinded" became a radio hit. I have the original flesh-tone vinyl cover shown here, without "Spirit."
Yes Spirits in the Night is the best of the three Springsteen songs they did, I think.
@@alanmusicman3385 Agree!
I like both versions but by far this is the best! Brilliant band.
Have to hit the Springsteen original to appreciate how different these two songs are. It’s like how Hendrix made All Along the Watchtower his song even though it was a Dylan song.
Springsteen never had a #1 singing his own songs. Man Mann did, someone else too I believe.
If this isn't an S - then there is no hope.
Damn, I grew up listening to some good music..
In my opinion, one of the best and most transformative covers that I have ever heard. I heard the Bruce Springsteen version years later, and while the lyrics are all there, the song is drastically different (and I would say inferior on all levels - sorry Bruce). I have been watching you guys for some time now - love your thoughtful reactions.
I agree, really builds on the original! Two other awesome covers in this vein are Elton's "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Under My Thumb" by Streetheart!
Not even close to as good as Bruce's original
@@eli10az yes, you're right of course.
Are the lyrics the same? I always thought that Manfred Mann sang “revved up like a deuce” while Springsteen sang “cut loose like a goose”.
I’m a Jersey guy, born and bred, and I love Springsteen - but I do like this version better.
@@eli10az Bruce had alot more hits, and I'm a fan of his, but be honest. Few people are remembering this song if not for this cover version.
Saw this band live in the early seventies at a small venue in England and they were good probably an A rating. Being young in England in the seventies was amazing there was virtually a rock band on every street corner such great times. Still no country like it for progressive or rock music.
I love this album and Manfred Mann's version of Blinded by the light (much more than Bruce's), but I also loved "Singing The Dolphin Through" and "The Road to Babylon" from this just as much.
Great version of the song...I like it better than the Springsteen original.
As a young art student I always loved this album cover.
A great cover and one of the great album titles too.
Once you hear it wrong, you can never unhear it! 🤣
Such a great song. So cool and trippy in the middle. I was hoping to watch you guys cover this one day. Thanks for your honest reaction as always🧡
Take me back to listening to AM radio in the ‘70s, why don’t you. Love this song.
This is one of the many things I love about your channel, hearing a great song that I’d totally forgotten. Blew me away! 👍👍
This was Manfred Mann’s big hit, but you really ought to explore some of their earlier music as well. This turn towards a radio-friendly song came after years of interesting and creative music.
The "old song" is Chopsticks.
hahahahahhaha
The piano bit at the ~5:50 mark is 'Chopsticks,' if I remember correctly.
Underrated guitar playing and guitar tone - that solo is fantastic!
Hi Riley and Alex! If you ever wanted a song that had all of everything, this is one of them! Haha!! You probably know by now, the piano riff is "Chopsticks", what most kids learning piano learn first, and what Tom Hanks did in "Big".
Wait ... who's Riley?
@@FanOblues51 Alex's dog, he's introduced rightvat the start.
I lived in Germany for a while, and this song is still very popular. My German co-worker asked me "what means wrapped up like a douche". I laughed my ass off before explaining the whole "revved up like a deuce".
THe piano solo is something everyone who has ever taken lessons would recognize as "Chop Sticks"
OMG thank you for doing that album version. SO GOOD. Awesome reaction. Like I always say, your content is so amazing. Love you guys. I hope you continue this for a long time.
A tremendous band in all its different guises. They do a great live version of this from Midnight Special around 1977 ish. Also try listening to their song 'California' a beautiful song with an incredible guitar solo too.
Love Chris Thompson's vocals and inflections in this song. Greatly underappreciated artist. He also did Runner with the band and was a collaborating vocalist in Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.
Nobody knew half the words or what the heck he was talking about, but the song was great. Played constantly
Fantastic song, just mesmerizing to the ears. It was on the radio constantly for a long time.
They put out some great albums. And they always had a pop banger on each one to get radio airtime (so they actually got paid).
LOVE THEM
An all-time fav and a song that will always be cool!!!
Deuce comes from the hot rod, drag racing vernacular of the fifties and sixties. It refers to the 1932 Ford coupe, a favorite car that hot rod enthusiasts used to build from. The Beach Boys had a song called Little Deuce Coupe. One of the most famous examples of the car is the yellow hot rod in the movie American Graffiti.
“Don’t fear the reefer” or “There’s a bathroom on the right” are two I remember well.
I'd just started college when this song exploded onto the radio in 1976... and I loved it _immediately._ There was so much good music at this time (Boston, too, was just exploding onto the scene), that I never owned the album version. (I"m saying funds were limited in college, and this was not an album that I, or anyone on my dorm floor, happened to own.) So ten mins. ago was the absolute first time I've ever heard this long version, *and I love it!* How cool to get this bonus _48 yrs. later!_
(Personally, I rate it an *S* -- it really feels perfectly put together, and with so many interesting elements. It kicks butt throughout, and is a song I may never tire of hearing.)
You have to hear the original Blinded by the Light from Springsteen. His is so crazy good!
I was a teenager when Manfred Mann’s version came out but when I heard Springsteen’s original I was blown away. Greetings from Asbury Park is like the craziest debut album. I couldn’t believe the creativity it displayed with the best lyrics. I became a devoted Springsteen follower after that.
That was "Chop Sticks" he was playing on piano, Lol. That's a nice little moment in the song. Wouldn't think it would work but it does.
Glad you guys finally got to this. It is awesome.
I saw them many, many moons ago at Long Beach Auditorium in Long Beach Ca. in 1973 maybe. Whereas Kiss was the opening act for their debut and Manfred Mann was second bill, then Savoy Brown was top Bill. Under $10 a ticket then.
In 1977 this song turned me on to the original writer - Bruce Springsteen. I'm hoping some day you guys react to "Darkness on the Edge of Town" Totally iconic. 👍👍
I'm guessing you want them to do the whole album? I mean, the song "Darkness on the Edge of Town" is pretty cool, but it's hardly the only worthy cut on the album. (My favorite is "The Promised Land".)
And yes, IMO that is Bruce's BEST album, start to finish. (I'm tempted to plunk for "The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle", but I really only love 5 of the 7 tracks on that one.)
@@Jessica_Roth since they have yet to react to any individual songs from Darkness a full reaction will have maximum impact. 😎
@@Jessica_Roth oooh. Good choice, but I will always move the needle to Adam Raised a Cain or Candy's Room, before a full playthrough.
I remember taking music in grade school and the first thing I learned on piano was "Chopsticks." When this song hit the radio, that middle piano section of "Chopsticks" is the first thing I really noticed. Plus, the rounds they sang at the end also reminded me of music class as we learned how to sing rounds with a song like "Row Your Boat." Lesson: Music class can be fun.
Glad you guys are getting back to some of my 70’s favs. Much more Boston, Genesis, and Supertramp please.
Yup... that's what we thought. lmao. I thought that maybe the high hat was coming in at the end of the word 'deuce' contributing to making it sound slurred . Another one which you already reacted to was "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR. It says "there's a bad moon on the rise" but many, including me, thought it said "there's a bathroom on the right." Enjoyed this!
I thought it said "bathroom on the right" for years. LOL
Have you ever listened to a song on your channel and it was so complex and complicated and amazing you decided to go back and listen to it again? I would love it if you did that
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of the movie blow and Johnny Depp at the airport amazing
Loved singing along watching you guys...loved this as a kid.
Never had a problem with this verse, of course you have to be old enough to know what "Revved up like a Deuce' actually means.....This has always been an "S" tier song for me.
#1 song in 1976 (Canada)! Great cover! A little long? Welcome to 70's album rock boys!
Another Bruce song that they covered and knocked out of the park is "I Came For You".
Incredible classic song. I've been listening to it since it first came out. I heard "douche"
and couldn't get it out of my head! Its the way the singer sings the word, especially at
the beginning. You have to remember, back then, lyrics weren't nearly as easy to
access as they are now.
My favorite singer ever died the other day, you really should check into a lot more of Nazareth's work, Dan McCafferty R.I.P. Also Manfred Mann would take Dylan and Springsteen songs and make them their own songs.
Bruce Springsteen wrote this from 1972, hence the "deuce" car reference, and "another runner in the night." I still own this remarkable 1976 gem of a concept album, in the original flesh-tone color as you displayed here, rather than the later bluish re-issue. They also do a great cover of Bruce's spectacular song, "Spirit in the Night." But every cut on this comback album, The Roaring Silence, is a worthy listen. You should also take a dive into their early hit career from the 1960s. Definitely one of the overlooked bands for the channel.
I agree with everything except, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the 1932 Ford model 18, known by hot rodders everywhere as the "Deuce."
one of my all time favorites guys. thanks. lots of love
It's, "reved up like a Deuce" as in a '32 Ford "Deuce" coupe hot rod. You guys always pick the great songs. Thanx!
My vote for most misheard lyric goes towards any Pearl Jam song
Yellow leadbetter
😂
Lol
LOL
or early REM -- ever heard the Chronic Town EP? a stream of incoherent mumbling but awesome
@@robland6804 LOL, yup I agree
For over thirty years I thought he was saying "douche" and I'm still not convinced he isn't saying it. I have been listening to this song since it was released and it never gets old. This is one of those songs, in my opinion, where the cover is better than the original. The next song to react to, again in my opinion, is Doo Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann. Actually, The Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann might be a better next song. I think if you guys do listen to Doo Wah Diddy Diddy you might recognize it from some movies.
Many of Springsteen’s songs back then involved cars, and this was another one about the Deuce Coupe. The Beach Boys did a song about that car years before “ Little Deuce Coupe”
Probably not because he's a Brit and it's not a common word over here. It's just French for shower.
Yep... just another one of the great songs playing of the radio growing up. I've said it before but it's true: at the time, we had no idea how great the soundtrack to our childhood was.
These guys don't get enough credit. They have many albums filled with great songs.
My daughter loves this song, and she asked me why the guys talking about a " douche"😂
Another great one they do by Bruce Springsteen is " For You "
Couple of side notes; Bruce Springsteen is listed on the original version as Springstein and Manfred Mann played some keyboard and synthesizer on Uriah Heeps " Look at Yourself" album, which you should cover at some point also.🤠👍👍👍
Don't bother with Bruces, it's in the dust. You MUST watch this live on Midnight Special, awesome doesn't cover it One of my favourite songs ever.
Epic cover👍❤️
First thing you think when it comes on the radio is.. I f****** hope it's the extended version.
A+
When Blinded by the Light came on the car radio... could not help but floor on the accelerator... another 15 MPH's.
Less a song and more a musical journey... WOW!!!!
So when will you get around to reacting to some 10cc - I’m Not In Love? It’s worthy of an S tier rating.
Une Nuit À Paris is 10CC's masterpiece from the same album.
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".
Try "Messin'" with a glow of some kind! Close your eyes and get taken somewhere! 10 min. journey.
One of favourites. Of all time, summer of 76!
I grew up with this song. Like so many I never had a clue as to what was being sung in that part. Got to love that lush mid 70's sound. So iconic.
Bruce performed on a show, I think it was called Storytellers(?), where he talked about (and performed) this song and he mentioned Manfred Mann's cover and said he had no idea why he changed the original lyric (cut loose like a deuce) to douche. It was pretty interesting.
Fell in love with this song as a kid. In college, where so many young people (yourselves included) expand their musical horizons, I was turned on to more of Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Spirits in the Night, For You, Runner, Demolition Man.... all bangers.
One of my favorite prog bands, thank you for doing the album version
I never get tired of hearing Manfred Mann's version. All hail the Dylan-esque lyrics by Springsteen but the MM version is so superior musically. That middle break is so hypnotic. So much is happening in the song and there are so many changes of pace. Having the prime vocal fade out and having the backing vocals come to the forefront is very unusual. This has always been S-tier for me.
P.S. There is a blasphemous radio edit that cuts out the legendary break.
