"...held up like a loofah by the foreman of the night."
I am truly surprised someone posted this before I could. Bravo!
Have not seen that one, worth the watch.

Revved up like a deuce makes no sense either.
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.
Heresy, the Springsteen version has more verses
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)
Ahhh
