"Blinded by the Light" was turned into a whirling dervish of a prog-pop song by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, who took it to number one on the charts in 1977. The song is used in the films Blow, Running with Scissors, and Super Troopers 2. Chorus Yeah, he was blinded by the light Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night Blinded by the light He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight Verse 4. Oddly enough, the most famous version of the opening track of the record was not recorded by Springsteen. The album only sold 25,000 copies, but it widely considered one of the great rock records of the '70s. And 39 years ago today, it all got started when the E Street Band released Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ to little popular success but eventual critical acclaim. For me, it was another bit of musical history to add to my own. Blinded by the light He got down but she never got tight, but hes gonna make it tonight Some silicone sister with her managers mister told me I got what it takes She said Ill turn you on sonny to something strong if you play that song with the funky break And go-cart Mozart was checkin out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go. Not more than probably a mile down the road was the Stone Pony, the legendary venue where some great bands got their start including New Jersey's most loved Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (you thought I was going to say Bon Jovi, right?).įor my singer, it was a somewhat mystical experience having grown up a big fan of the Boss. One of the stops was in Asbury Park at a club called The Saint. A few years ago, my band took a trip up the east coast to play some shows in and around New York City.
