Police in Bangor, Maine, are making use of a 1970s progressive rock hit by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band to encourage people to clear the snow off their cars before driving.
Sgt. Tim Cotton posted on Facebook on Tuesday that the group’s song “Blinded By The Light” can serve as a reminder of how dangerous it is to drive with vision obscured by snow.

Why not “Snowblind” by Styx.
Or Black Sabbath.

Song was written by Bruce Springsteen. I hope that liberal douchebag doesn’t get any royalties for it.
Since he is the songwriter, he will get royalties. If they use his version, Van Morrison should get royalties, since it was a blatant ripoff.
And, irony of ironies, the libtard Springsteen’s original version is 1000 times better than Manfred Mann..... Revved up like a douche...... feh... pooh.
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
W’ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!
Close the door, put out the light
No, they won’t be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don’t you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
I take it you like Van Morrison.
I’ve always wondered about that song. What does it mean to be “revved up like a douche”?
Or anything by Blind Faith. Cuz when you’re driving with obscured vision, that’s what you’re relying on.
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow
FYI, today is Jimmy Page’s Birthday.
“Revved up like a deuce” right? As in a Chevy II/Nova? That’s what I always thought it was.
Freegards
Wrap up the old douche
a nutterbutter in the night
some other good ones:
Wrapped up like a doofus
Throwing snowballs in a fight
rolled up like a douche,
another boner in the night
Just make sure they clarify that the lyrics are :
“wrapped up like a DEUCE”.
Oh deuce, that makes sense. Always thought it was douce.
