rickyrob Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Has anyone gone for years thinking the words to particular songs were something different? A long long time ago (about age of 15), when I started buying their music, I only had a tape recorder, so often bought tapes with no lyrics on the pitiful cardboard insert that used to be put inside. 2112: Temples of Syrinx...I thought it was "...we are the beasts of the Temples of Syrinx...." And on Permanent Waves, although I'd got to buying albums then, I'd never bother reading the lyrics, I thought the words on Spirit of Radio were: "...and the words of the prophets were written on the stoney wall" ooh groovy man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolinda Bonz Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes, I have an acute case of lyricosis myself. I'm still looking for "the mice to lead us closer to the heart" (from AFTK.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

launchpad67a Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 And of course the most misheard of all, although not from Rush is: "Excuse me, while I kiss this guy"! (Purple Haze, Jimi Hendrix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushRevisited Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Saw this one before, thought it was funny as hell and think of it every time I hear the song: "There's no bread, lemony cake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madra sneachta Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Kiss This Guy A great site, but two words of warning 1. Most of these are, I'm convinced, made up (Red butt chowder?????) 2.

King Rygar Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 my friend works at a grocery store stocking so I guess that can explain why he heard: "Not the Clabber Girl" (not the glamour girl) in Nobody's Hero from Different Stages I let him borrow..

You can live on one and still be caught in "the camera eye". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
