Blinded By the Light
Talk about DIFFERENT! The Springsteen version is all about the goofy rhymes, but the Marfred Mann version is about interesting music. While the former is clever, and interesting for the lyrics, my nod is to the latter.

Comments about Blinded By the Light:
Mannfred Mann's version of this song sucks, it is probably the worst cover of a song in history, I don't care that it was a bigger hit. Springsteen's version has soul and wit and passion, just like all of his music. MM's version, well, it sucks. And I still don't get the douche reference. What the hell does that mean anyway? How does a douche get cut loose or revved up(depending on what version you are referencing)? And I really hate the Mannfred Mann stole the soul out of every song they covered, what this band did to Quinn the Eskimo is a felony in many states. And did tghis bacd ever write a song of their own? Seriously, this was a cover band that made it way bigger than they ever deserved.

Even though this song is written by The Boss, the earlier and better version is by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.

I know I'm going to sound really ignorant but is there a difference between Mannfred Mann and Mannfred Manns Earth Band?
