Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is butterdream.
That is how I (mis)heard the lyrics as a kid. I don't remember when I finally figured out what it was really saying.
(Also for another song that said "and killed a pal of mine" I always wondered "what is a palomine?" at least for quite a while.)

J/K, there were several songs growing up that I didn't have the lyrics right. Even heard a comedy bit about some of the better known ones many years ago, and 2-3 were on my list.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
How about “oh bloody bladder” for obla dee obla dah??

“Revved up like a douche” was one of my favorites.

And I feel comfortable saying that Manfred was stoned 0ut of his mind when he wrote that song

Springsteen wrote that little tune...

I always thought Manfred Mann wrote it as well... at least I thought so back in the day.

I'ts a Springsteen song, he had it on his debut album Asbury Park, but Manfred Mann's cover made it a hit.
That's definitely one of those growing up where I had no idea what exactly that line was saying. I wasn't even close once I found the correct lyrics, lol.

I'll be dang. I did not know that the boss wrote that tune, and I also did not know he visited the psychedelic world.

Here's the original--quite different from the Manfred Mann remake:
A lot of his early stuff had some literary imagery bordering on surrealism--it was almost like he was trying a little too hard to be another Dylan. IMHO he really found himself on the "Born To Run" album.
U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19
Useless trivia, if only I could make a living off of it...

I had heard Springsteen’s original way back when, and thought it was funny that he was covering a Manfred Mann song.

Born to Run was a worthy piece of work. This is not something I would be proud of if I were him.

Springsteen in 1973 and Manfred in 1976

I actually like this much better than the Manfred Mann version. Definitely some Van Morrison influence.

This is the Canadian version of Family Feud.
Gotta love this clip.

63 and sunny, wearing shorts.
Okay, so I feel like an idiot. I just figured out why my car was leaking when it rained heavily. I had no idea a sunroof drained.
Were the drain holes clogged?

Yes. Easiest fix ever.
In the meantime, I replaced the rubber drip guard on my roof, crawled under the car, contemplated removing the pillar, and had my floorboard get wet about 10 times.
I. Feel. So. Stupid.
Darrell I had the same thing happen with a Pontiac I owned many many years ago. There was nothing in the owners manual that talked about the sun roof drain holes. It drove me batty until I finally took it to the dealership and the shop foreman told me what the problem was.

23 degrees right now, looking at 3 days of winter. Stocked up on bread and milk yesterday when it was 56 :/
Luckily the wind is blowing around 15-20 mph too,keeping our wind chills in the single digits.

Ran 3.1 miles this afternoon. I don't exercise well in cold weather, but here it was 45 and sunny. About my limit, and not fun.

That was me running yesterday.
This morning, 25°, wind chill 15°. I may do my slow old man jog today, but if I do it will be on a treadmill inside.
