Texas King Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Are there any non-Rush songs that you would take over "mighty and so beloved" Red Barchetta? Personally, I have lots of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I would take many songs over Red Barchetta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't make these kinds of comparisons much to be honest. I'd have to be making shit up to answer the question. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I take it Red Barchetta has been annihilating other bands' songs in these polls. Well, it's an excellent track that likely deserved to destroy whatever dross and gunk it was pitted against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 There are quite a few songs that I feel are better than Red Barchetta. Bohemian Rhapsody, One, Knights of Cydonia, November Rain…just to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 There are a lot. Not a lot compared to if you asked most songs this question, but still, a lot. Probably at least one from each of a number of bands and artists that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just watching something on tv about classic cars and there's a 1950s Red Barchetta in it Interesting that everyone on the show, including Italians, pronouncing it Red Bar-ketta, with a silent h. I didn't know that till now, the band pronounce the h dont they? Does it matter? Another item of trivia, Barchetta means 'little boat' in italian. Apparently when the car was originally designed they thought it resembled a small boat, particularly as the raised line running along its length looked like the watermark on a boat. Screw this i'm going for a game of COD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question being - why pronounced with the 'h' in the song then, Just because it sounds better? Is that an ok thing to do? Could it even have been a mistake? Is that the way Canadians pronounce it? I dunno, just askin :) Once again, just being trivial, I know it doesn't really matter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hmm ok but we've all been going around saying red bar-CHetta for 50 years when neil knew it was red bar-ketta? Just doesnt seem a rush thing to do. Western society always played around tongue-in-cheek with japanese words but with the actual definitive name of a western classic car? Dont see neil doing it, even with creative license Listen i dont wanna keep bangin on about this, i just found out this week red barchetta pronounced red bar-ketta for real and all these decades i been pronouncing it wrong in the song. Wondered if deliberate thing by the band or mistake but inclined to think mistake now, these guys dont do karaoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
