Time and Motion. Absolutely love that song. 1LV, Mal Nar, and Caravan are hot on T&M's heals though.

Write-in: Anagram (for Mongo)

I think that's a brilliant song and that a lot of people don't like it simply because they haven't given it a chance.

Anagram 062802puke_prv.gif Easily the worst song off Presto. But, to each his own.

I don't know; "Hand Over Fist" gives it some tough competition there.

Superconductor is easily the weakest track. Hand Over Fist gets better and better over time - has a great groove to it. Anagram gets so much hatred simply because people don't understand it.

Yes hand Over Fist is pretty good and so is Superconductor. I don't see why that song gets so much hate. Anagram is just boring.

It makes me happy that The Pass is winning.

Also, why is it Anagram (for Mongo), and not just Anagram?

"It's a joke from the movie Blazing Saddles, referring to the "Candygram for Mongo" scene, according to Geddy on "Rockline" 12/4/89."

Holy Heck Dude!!!!!

 

Hand over Fist has less groove than bald tyre!

 

The only thing to understand from Anagram is that Neil Purt doesn't know what an Anagram is!

I don't think someone who doesn't understand how to spell "Peart" can understand Anagram (for Mongo).

"Image just an eyeless game" is in itself incredibly clever. Who cares if the song doesn't have strict by definition anagrams? Music does not need to be literal. Edited by savagegrace26

Wow. How dumb are you?

 

It's the lyrics of Anagarm sic we're on about here, not the music, and the word Anagram has a literal meaning which the song lyrics manifestly ignores.

 

Neil Peart = Tripe Lane

Yes, and I'm addressing lyrics in that post, which is a part of music. Just shut up now. You're making yourself sound dumber.

Seriously, if you have a problem with this song because of it does not contain actual anagrams, then you must have a problem with a bunch of other songs, including:

 

Tom Sawyer (no actual Tom Sawyer in the song)

Vital Signs (it's not literally addressing physiological functions)

Superconductor (song doesn't really refer to electrical conductive material)

Dreamline (this is like a made up word)

The Larger Bowl (where's the cereal?)

The Color of Right (justice doesn't really have a color)

Jacob's Ladder (the song is about storms not bible stuff)

 

Music can be and is largely figurative rather than literal, and this is not even taking into account that the "Anagram (for Mongo)" title is evidently a joke title.

The "(For Mongo)" part is a joke (a Blazing Saddles reference), but "Anagram" definitely isn't, and I can't fathom where you're getting the idea that it's somehow "figurative". "Natural Science" is figurative. "Anagram" could be figurative if it had lines like, "Each of us is an anagram for the other," or something like that, but it isn't. It's a collection of literal wordplay that at least resembles anagrams. That's the entire point of the song. And that's why people don't like it - it's obviously trying to be a set of witty anagrams, but it just isn't one.

With Caravan, Far Cry, and BU2B as runner ups.
