when I was little my folks loved Bruce Spreengsteen, my mom would play his music when we cleaned the house and we'd both dance around and sing and clean. We were washing the windows one day, when she turned the stereo down and told me to sing the verse again. She then busted out laughing and had me sing for all friends and family for weeks. I was much older when I discovered The Boss' hit was called "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" and not "Dead Devil in a Flea's Ass"
