This one was new to me. And as far as I'm concerned, anyone who thinks this is a good idea can stick their dick in their front hole.

I wasn’t aware that there was a “Mexican gene “
I might * be wrong, but I was under the impression that many, if not most of today’s Mexicans were descendants of the indigenous people living there at the time, mixed with the mostly Spanish invaders?

How can there be a “Mexican gene ”?

Well done.

* Hell, I prolly am.

Not to deconstruct a joke, but they might be reminding people some states used to be part of Mexico. So if the geneticists can’t prove it the genealogists certainly could, ha!

So there's this old old Peter Gabriel song called "Games Without Frontiers", and at the beginning and near the end there's a repeated line that I always heard before as "She's so fortunate", but I just now found out that the line is actually "Jeux sans frontieres", which makes a lot more sense granted, but my mind is still completely blown.

The lyric I always got wrong, and was almost sure I was getting it wrong (but you hear what you hear), was:

Wrapped up like a douche, Another rumour in the night misheard lyric by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Blinded by the Light

Except I heard it as:

Wrapped up like a douche
Another roller in the night

Which, you know, is crazy hearing.

(But Revved up like a deuce? WHAT??)

Dude. That’s not old, it was released about 1980. I loved that album ** and the two previous solo ablums he released after he left Genesis *. Actually I loved all his solo ablums. Fuckin’ awesome artist.


* He released 4 albums named simply “Peter Gabriel”

** that ablum was AKA “Melt” acause of the cover pic:

When I was about 19 , I was stationed at George AFB in CA, and one night I was listening ta a interview onna radio from some station outa LA wif Mick Rogers and I called in and asked him, Was it really “wrapped up like a douche”? And he said:
“Well no that’s not the lyric, but that’s what I sang.”

Oh and also, I’m pretty sure that “Revved up like a deuce, Another runner in the night” is a reference ta illegal nighttime drag racin’ on public streets.

The song was written bai Bruce Springsteen, whadaya expect?

Just FYI, that's Kate Bush singing the line.

Listening to it, and being (more or less) a French speaker, I was right there with you but never quite sure what the hell the the lyric is. Even knowing the lyric now I still have to strain my hearing to hear Jeux Sans Frontiers. It's either spoken with an odd regional accent or just so stylistically breathy it's hard to parse.
