Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

Probs a common one but when ever Blinded By The Light came on I only heard “woke up like a douche” instead of “revved up like a deuce”
I only knew about ‘deuce’ as a synonym for poop, when I first heard the song, which made it very confusing.
Turns out it’s a pretty versatile word.
Deuce = 2, or a “number 2”. Pretty sure that’s why we use it for poop
Yeah that’s what I found out. Figured Bruce Springsteen want writing songs about nighttime shitting.
Bruce’s version lyrics are “… cut loose like a deuce” which sounds wayyyyy more intentionally like taking a shit
I heard, “Wrapped up like a douche,” which always went well with misunderstanding the lyric after it, “Another rumor in the night.” (Correct line is “Another runner in the night.”)
