Yeah , I thought IT WAS "DEUCE" , BECAUSE , BACK IN THE "70'S" , THE OTHER WORD SEEMED TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON THE RADIO, though they probably say it as much as "The " , now. .....BUT , I heard Bruce Springsteen's original version and he REALLY sounded like he was saying "Wrecked up like a DOUCHE".
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN "BUDDY " MAGAZINE (DALLAS /FT. WORTH) ABOUT SONGS THAT THEY COULD'NT BELIEVE GOT AIRPLAY - Obvious ones like "Walk on The Wild Side" and less obvious censor - testers like "Miracles" by Jefferson Starship.....Turns out , if you can get thru about six minutes of the painful dirge , it says something about "Remember whenI went down on yoooouuu..." , but , that was intentional....The article listed "Blinded By The Light", as well.
