Is it bad that I knew what songs both of those would be, before clicking?

I did too, haha. It's all good.

You mean it's not really "sweet jamacian baked beans"? doh.gif I've always thought it was....I guess I'm going to have to look up the actual lyrics....

I think it's supposed to be "sweet Jamacian pipe dreams" but it really doesn't sound like it...

 

And considering that Geddy's usually pretty understandable...hmmm.

"Ooh, there's no bread, or lemony cake..." biggrin.gif

 

I, too, thought those were the lyrics to "Bastille Day." I was young; I didn't know about Marie Antoinette yet.

It's a lot clearer on the Exit...Stage LEft version.

Uh - let's not even get into what I was doing to "Red Tide..."

 

"..lest the sun reign no more, river running like an open sore,

Rain is burning on the forest floor as the red tide washes ashore..."

There's definitely a recurring food related alter-lyric theme to Rush's music.

I'm a big fan of "attention all planets of the Solar Federation; We have consumed a roll."

Thank you. biggrin.gif I almost snorted a bagel out my nose when I read that... rofl3.gif

 

Of course, a friend riding int he car with me thought the first line of "Bastille Day" was, "It's alright, that's okay, there's no end to what they'll say."

I've always known and thought it sounded like "pipe dreams". Of course that could be because I know what the song is about so it really couldn't be anything else.
