For those not familiar with it, the song is "Blinded by the Light", a Manfred Mann's Earth Band cover of a Springsteen song where they changed the words slightly to go "Revved up like a deuce"...referring to a hot rod deuce coupe.
It sounds for all the world like "wrapped up like a douche"
After years of wondering, knowing it couldn't possibly be that, I looked up the lyrics a while back...
I haven't heard it a lot since but the song came on the car radio as I was driving back from town today
Strange co-incidence, I thought. ;D
I listened very carefully.... and I get the feeling they knew exactly what they were singing :

The very best of pareidolia hard at work!
Really, how clever is it for him to identify phrases like that knowing he can make that suggestion to you in a manner from which you will never be able to forget it!
