Song background


The song was originally recorded in 1978, earlier in Springfield's career. At the time, he was commonly confused with New Jersey musician Bruce Springsteen. The song is a comedic take on this predicament: the lyrics include a description of a romantic encounter with a woman who calls him "Bruce" during sex, as well as an encounter with a fan who expresses an affinity for Born to Run.

Cash Box called it "a hard rocking and humorous lament over being mistaken for Bruce Springsteen."[3]
