Which singer references a Ford Deuce Coupe in the lyrics of “Blinded by the Light”?
David Bowie
Bob Seger
Bruce Springsteen
Elton John
Fact: Bruce Springsteen wrote and originally recorded “Blinded by the Light” for his 1973 debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. In the song, he references a “deuce,” meaning a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe, a car that became an icon of American hot-rod culture. Springsteen’s original recording was not a major hit, but British rock group Manfred Mann’s Earth Band released its own version which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. It remains the only Springsteen-written song ever to top the U.S. singles chart.
Correct Answer: Bruce Springsteen
