No matter who's singing it, Manfred Mann or Springsteen, this has got to be one of the most mangled lyrics in history. The douche interpretation seems to be nearly universal. But then, the whole song is "Huh?" However, my dad, who was active in a few gangs roaming from the Bronx through eastern New Jersey in the late 1950s understands Springsteen lyrics perfectly.
