As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.

1. They're both mountains. It's not a simile.
2. Cramming that lyric into a F#/A/F#/G# bar is quite a feat. That doesn't really work.

Honestly though, finding 'worst lyrics' is like shooting fish in a barrel.

That's a contender for best misheard lyrics. A top contender. That was bizarre back in the days when it came out. Everyone thought that was the line. I think Manfred Mann might have misheard Bruce and really thought he was singing about feminine hygiene products.
Well, don’t keep us in suspense. What is the actual lyric? I have been wondering my whole life.

There's this thing called Google...

Although the actual lyrics don't make much sense.

Blinded by the light,
Revved up like a deuce
Another runner in the night

I assume the 'deuce' is the little deuce coop [sic] that the Beach Boys sang about.

"Glory glory glory somebody touched me
Must have been the hand of the lord".


I don't want to hurt anybodys religious feelings, but it was very odd when they sang this old spiritual in my local church, just a few weeks after the abuse scandal

I thought that was by these guys...

When I was a kid I convinced myself that "dooshant" was a real word, as in "wrapped up like a dooshant in a rotor in the night."

For me it's "Right, right, you're bloody well right....you have a bloody right to say..."

The use of the word "bloody" (to me) seems like a clumsy and really dorky way to "shock" listeners. I also cannot stand the way that this chorus in the song interrupts an awesome melodic and rhythmic verse lead-in with plodding dirge and stupid lyric. I just love the song up until this line comes along. As a result, I can't listen to the song.
