Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Manfred Mann is a 1960s British band that was notably part of The British Invasion. It was mostly led by keyboard player Manfred Mann and drummer-percussionist Mike Hugg — two men who had originally began a group named the Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers in the late 1950s — and they later recruited three other musicians to complete the group.Throughout their career, they managed to get seven Top 20 singles in the UK charts and a number one single in the US with "Doo Wah Diddy". After they disbanded in 1969, several spin-off groups formed under the same name, such as Manfred Mann (Chapter 3), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (best known for their #1 hit cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light"), and The Manfreds. These versions of the group evolved from the band's pop origins into Jazz, Space Rock and Progressive Rock.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Well known hits include "Doo Wah Diddy", "Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)", "Pretty Flamingo", "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" and "Semi-Detatched Suburban Mr James". | |

Mondegreen: Manfred Mann's Earth Band produced one of the most (in)famous examples with their famous cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded by the Light". Manfred, who took lead vocals on the song himself and sang the chorus, had an accent that caused him to twist the word "deuce", adding a significant "h" sound that made it sound like he was instead saying "douche". He was never able to get it right, so they kept it like that. Even Springsteen has joked about it, once expressing amazement that they re-wrote the song to be about feminine hygeine products. | |

Cover Version | |
| Manfred Mann (Music) / int_cff53786 | comment |
Cover Version: Quite a few, including their Signature Song "Doo Wah Diddy" (originally by The Exciters) and a number of Bob Dylan songs, including the hit "Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)".note Dylan originally recorded the song in 1967 as part of The Basement Tapes sessions, but didn't officially release it until he put a live version on his 1970 album Self Portrait. Manfred Mann's cover, a Top 10 single in 1968, was the first to reach the public. In The '70s, Manfred Mann's Earth Band covered several Bruce Springsteen songs and had a hit with "Blinded by the Light". | |
