RIP Paul Soles.
iHeart Posted May 30, 2021 Report Posted May 30, 2021 I will admit I do have memories of watching Classic Spiderman when YTV aired it(and the Fox Kids version), and then Teletoon Retro picked it up (one of the first shows back when it was a retro block(there was that, the roadrunner show, Fantastic 4(Herbie the Robot version), and Scooby Doo, then they picked up the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show), and this was like 6 years before they spun it off and made a whole Retro Channel out of it)

I remember him better from MTM Show where he'd cut up the hapless & narcissistic newscaster Ted Knight with merciless one liners constantly. Love Boat was always on Saturday nights in the 70's. I was in my early 20's & was always going out partying to the bars or socials so I hardly ever watched the show. Gavin Macleod was a minor cast member on the sit com McHale's Navy which aired starting in 1962 & ran to 1966 as a member of John McHale's crew. He was generally cast as a criminal, thug or bad guy & didn't get his big professional break until age 39 with TMTMS. Edited May 31, 2021 by SpeedFlex27

Manfred Mann used the word "deuce" just like Springsteen's version. The lyrics have been changed a bit but the actual word sounds like '******". Was that deliberate? I don't know as you'd have to ask the band. So, I don't know if it's bastardized.

From what I read, they slightly altered the lyrics, but the magic D word was intended to be “deuce”. It was a production problem in recording that slurred it and made it sound like a feminine hygiene product. When the producers said it need to be changed so as not to offend, they discovered that fixing the problem for that one word messed up the rest of the track entirely. So they opted to keep it in, and some band members acknowledged that the mini-controversy likely helped get it to become as popular as it was. SpeedFlex27 1
