Question: wrapped up like a deuce what does it mean

title: Blinded by the Light
text: Manfred Mann 's Earth Band 's recording of the song changes the lyrics . The most prominent change is in the chorus , where Springsteen 's `` cut loose like a deuce '' is replaced with `` revved up like a deuce . '' This is commonly misheard as `` wrapped up like a douche '' ( the V sound in `` revved '' is almost unpronounced , and the S sound in `` deuce '' comes across as `` SH '' due to a significant lisp ) . The lyric is actually a reference to a hot rod `` deuce coupe '' . Springsteen was fond of classic hot rods in his youth , hence the line `` revved up like a deuce , another runner in the night '' . Springsteen himself has joked about the controversy , claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a feminine hygiene product that it became popular .
