    Manfred Mann was a great British rock band from the 60's. They had some great songs including "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" "Pretty Flamingo", "Mighty Quinn", "5-4-3-2-1" & "Sha La La". Manfred Mann's Earth Band is an English rock band formed by South African musician Manfred Mann later in 1971. Their hits include covers of Bruce Springsteen's "For You", "Spirit In The Night" & "Blinded By The Light" which was a big hit for them in 1976.
    Interesting Note: Manfred Mann changed part of the lyrics in the the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce. The lyric is a reference to the 1932 V8-powered Ford automobile, which enthusiasts dubbed the "deuce coupe".

    The name "deuce coupe" is shorthand slang for the 1932 Ford Model 18 with the side-valve flathead V-8 engine. Deuce is for the 2 (in 1932).

    Love this band. They have so many cool songs that spread a good mood. Her two best known (cool songs) are: "Mighty Quinn" (written by Bob Dylan) and her anthem "Davy's on the Road Again". Also their song "Lies (Through The 80s)", my favorite (from the album CHANCE), is awesome and I can highly recommend it to you. My favorite albums are WATCH (charted for 69 weeks in Germany in 1978-1979) and CHANCE (charted for 41 weeks in Germany in 1980-1981). We still enjoy listening to their music on long car rides. The band is also still on concert-tour.

    Written by Bruce Springsteen, guys. Manfred Mann has a huge hit with this in Europe. Singer Chris Thompson has a very unique voice. You can immediately recognize his voice among many others.

    As others have said, Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded this song in 1973. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover was a No. 1 hit in the U.S. in 1977 (and the better version. :-) ). ... In 1964, Manfred Mann had his first No. 1 hit in the U.S. with "Doo Wah Diddy." It's a fun song, too, from simpler times, and you may have even heard the chorus before.

  • @zzremington

    This is one cover that I like way better than the original, and that's not a slam on Bruce whatsoever - the break in this song is amazing.

  • @beckiramsey9561
    @beckiramsey9561 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I heard this version before the original by Bruce Springsteen! I guys it is very well known that some of the lyrics were misinterpreted! I always heard ‘Wrapped up like a Douche’!😂😂 I can still hear it even though I know the correct words now!😂 The musical arrangement is the greatness of the song!! ❤❤
    Glad you guys enjoyed it!!❤❤

    My goodness, another song that I've haven't heard for years! I remember especially the Manfred Mann band who started in 1962 and lasted to 1969. Gosh, I loved a lot of their songs such as 5-4-3-2-1, The Mighty Quinn, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, and Pretty Flamingo! This is Manfred Mann's Earth Band though which was formed in 1971 and this is a great song. Really good transitions and such a fab tune, loved it! Hope you'll do some reactions to the songs I've mentioned by Manfred Mann - they were so popular in the 1960s and I think you would really enjoy them. Loved your reactions to this song, guys, so interesting and enjoyable as they always are! Cheers!

  • @DawnSuttonfabfour

    @tammieparrishmiller3669 Před 2 lety +11

    I'm so happy you both enjoyed it so much! This song was very popular on the radio but it was one that you just never really got tired of hearing. I think most of us had the words wrong while we sang, but we still had a great time jamming to it! You have to remember that we didn't have google or even cell phones back then. If they didn't put the lyrics on the inside of the album cover, we were just SOL (Sh!t out of luck).

    Suggestion, this is another good one by Disturbed, The official video for “Hold On To Memories” was released two years ago today.
    “Hold on to Memories" is about not only honoring those we’ve lost, but also making the most of our time with those we still have.

    This is one of those instances where the cover surpasses the original by Bruce Springsteen. I mean…by far, imho. And I love Bruce.
    This one of those songs…that if you’re not using headphones or ear buds…you’re just wasting your time in life. I put on my AirPods and get taken on a trip for 7+ mins. 😁

    This IS a cover of "The Boss" and it's a good thing he gave this to MM because his version sucks.
    This is by far the best cover ever.
    The one that comes closest is Dylan's "Knocking on Heavens Door" by G&R.
    Even with a fairly deep group of songs they're still a OHW with this.
