I've always liked the song Blinded by the Light. I grew to like it more when it was used in the Johnny Depp film Blow. One day I got to thinking about turning songs into movies and it occurred to me to check out the lyrics to Blinded by the Light. So I tracked them down and after reading them, I still have no idea what the song is about.
If you can work it out, please fill me in.


Blinded by the Light

[Chorus]: Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night (fading)

Madman dummers bummers,
Indians in the summer,
With a teenager diplomat
And the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder my shoulder,
feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
(pickup)
the calliope crashed to the ground

(chorus)

Some silicon sister with a manager mister
told me I got what it takes.
I'll run you on sonny to something strong
play the song with the funky break

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the
weather charts see if it was safe outside
And little Early Burly came by in his curly wurly
and asked me if I needed a ride
(pickup)
asked me if I needed a ride


(chorus)

Bridge: She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night


(break with soul-stirring solo)

Oh momma that's where the fun is
But momma that's where the fun is
Momma always told me not to look
in the eye's on the sun
But momma that's where the fun is

(chop sticks variation)

So brimstone-baritone, anti-cyclone Rolling Stone
Preacher from the East,
says dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it's funny bone
that’s what they expect at least

It's a new grown chaperon standing in the corner
watching the young girls dance
and some fresh sown moonstone messing with his frozen zone,
only reminding him of romance
(pickup)
and the calliope crashed to the ground

(Chorus)

(Chorus and First Verse)

Now Scott with the sling-shot finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover in the sand
and some blood-shot forget-me-not
said Daddy's within earshot, save the buck-shot, turn up the band

(repeat Verse 2 "Silicon sister with a manager....")
(bridge)
  

There are worse songs you could have stuck in your head. I have to be really careful when I'm driving and it comes on the radio, because when it does, I feel compelled to crank up the volume and hit the gas. The music is incredible, it's truly an epic song. Although I don't really know what it's about, I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with speed or coke.

I hate you Takeshi, I had forgotten about it and now your bring it back to mind. Blinded by the light.... Darn you for getting that song stuck in my head. : )

I'm going to go listen to Bob Marley, or maybe... No, I'm listening to Bob Marley... "Bad Boys"... Now that's an easy song to get stuck in your head. Hahaha... Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha' gonna' do, whatcha' gonna' when day for you...

Oh, and this was my 100th post! Yes...

Was that the show where it started with whistling? God... That was annoying...

So we're still no closer to working it out? Congratulations on reaching 100 TBWCF.

About an hour after my last post on this thread, I was driving home from work listening to Gold FM and three songs into my trip home guess what song they played? Blinded by the Light. I nearly drove off the road. LOL.

That's funny, when I was on the bus to school my Ipod was on shuffle, and the song Blinded By the Light played! I didn't even know I had that song on it. Odd...

Quoted from Jimbo That's funny, when I was on the bus to school my Ipod was on shuffle, and the song Blinded By the Light played! I didn't even know I had that song on it. Odd...

That's pretty trippy Jimbo.
