I'm glad that I'm not the only one who heard, and I still say it sounds more like, "Down on the corner houdy in the street". As apposed to "out in the street." But here's a less well known song. I heard a local band playing Springstien's "Tenth avenue freeze out". I could sware it sounds more like "Dead devil in the freezer." I asked a band member if that was what it was. He cracked up.. But I found out I'm not aloan in hearing it. Makes more sense if you ask me.
