Hate Springsteen's version but love Manfred Mann's.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of "Blinded by the Light" is Springsteen's only No. 1 single as a songwriter on the Hot 100.

"I don't think Springsteen liked our Blinded by the Light, 'cos we sang 'wrapped up like a douche', and it wasn't written like that and I screwed it up completely. It sounded like 'douche' instead of 'deuce', 'cos of the technical process – a faulty azimuth due to tape-head angles, and it meant we couldn't remix it." Manfred Mann

Not positive, but I think the original (Springsteen) lyric is 'cut loose' instead of 'revved up'

I think you're right.
