Rock the Casbah misheard as Rock the cash-bar. I thought it was a song about people drinking and being punished for drinking. In my defense, I was 4, and sadly I knew what a cash-bar was.

    I only knew about ‘deuce’ as a synonym for poop, when I first heard the song, which made it very confusing.

    Turns out it’s a pretty versatile word.

        Yeah that’s what I found out. Figured Bruce Springsteen want writing songs about nighttime shitting.

          Bruce’s version lyrics are “… cut loose like a deuce” which sounds wayyyyy more intentionally like taking a shit
