Mad props to Jack's Coral, as she remembered that i meant to look this up (for what's probably the 4th time). We three went see The Dark Knight Rises last night, and i drove. For whatever reason, the song Blinded By the Light (originally a Springsteen song, made popular by Manfred Mann's Earth Band) was badly stuck in my head, and i was singing it at Jack. The question concerned the second verse of the chorus: "revved up like a deuce/ another runner in the night"; exactly what IS that that's said, deuce or douche? Wikipedia and other sources report that this is deuce, possibly a reference to a Ford Deuce Coupe. Curiously, in the Springsteen version, it's "cut loose like a deuce".
Also, bumbershoot (umbrella) is American in origin afterall.
Finally, a NYTimes article regarding Call Me Maybe, including a link to a cookie monster version.
