[QUOTE="MontanaFrank, post: 149350, member: 1678"] In "Down Under" by Men at Work. I thought it was "a bit of my sandwich" not "a Vegemite sandwich. Never new what Vegemite was until I read something on the web a couple of years back. It's like Manfred Mann's "Blinded by the Light" I always thought the lyric was " Wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night" and not the real lyric "Revved up by a deuce, another runner in the night" Guess I wasn't the only one with Manfred Mann. I found the passage below on Wikipedia. Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of the song features several changed 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."[2][3][4] 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)."[5][6] 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.
