Rush lyrics you can't stop mishearing

From New World Man:

 

 

He's a radio receiver

Tuned to factories and farms

He's a writer and a ranger

And a young boy very hard

 

 

That's what I hear. :|

 

Never had trouble with the last line there, but the second to last is actually "He's a writer, an arranger". I myself didn't know that until a year or two ago. I always heard it as "a rider and a ranger".

 

I never noticed that! I had to get the CD out and check the booklet; two sites I went to had the lyrics listed as "a writer and a ranger".

Word Nerd Trivia: misheard lyrics are known as "mondegreens." Wikipedia it for more info!

 

When we were kids, one of my bestest fraaaands always heard this in A Passage to Bangkok: "We burn the men by oil!"

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for these getting stuck in your head, too. Enter with caution. ;)

 

OK, the title says it all pretty much, are there any lyrics that misheard, or even after you know the correct lyric you continue to mishear? Every time I listen to "The Body Electric" I can't help but hear this line:

 

It replays each of the days

A hundred years of routines

 

As:

 

 

It replays each of the days

A hundred years of poutine

 

(For those of you going "huh?" poutine is a French Canadian mix of french fries, cheese curds, and gravy. It is quite tasty if your eyes can ignore how it looks and your arteries can bear it.)

 

Oh my Ged I love poutine, and lemony cake. No wonder I've gained so much weight since I've become a Rush fan, they are putting subliminal food messages in their songs.

And what the hell is Geddy saying during "The Wreckers"?

 

I hear something like "A bubba bubba bubalu"...

LOL....sorry. Striking down like a bolt from the blue.

But if you sing along with it by saying "A bubba bubba bubalu" it fits just the same :LOL:
