In 2005,  Springsteen himself commented on this amusing mistake. “Deuce was like a Little Deuce Coupe, as in a 2-seater Hot Rod."

TIL this was originally a Springsteen song. I’ve only ever heard Manfred Mann's Earth Band’s far superior version.

As an aside, but in the same vein; TIL that the song Hard to Handle is not a Black Crowes song, nor Grateful Dead, but Otis Redding

I did know about this being a Springsteen song ( and you are totally correct, Manfred Mann hits it outta the park)
