Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"Tom Sawyer"
Misheard Lyrics: Although his mind is not for rent
Don't put down his surrogate He's hopelessly quite content Writing down the day's events "The River". Original Lyrics: Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant His reserve, a quiet defense Riding out the day's events The river. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Christi The first time I heard this song, I thought it was a tribute to Mark Twain, by what I misheard as "writing down the day's events". It wasn't until I heard this at a karaoke bar, years later, with the lyrics on the screen, that I realized my hilarious error. |

Repetitive Lyrics:
"Fly By Night"
The Repetitive Lyrics: My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend
Why They're Repetitive: It's one of Rush's shortest songs at just 3 minutes. The phrase in question in repeated so many times you wanna puke. You know that's the bassist over-singing because surely the songwriter wouldn't write it like that.

Misrhymed Lyrics:
"Red Barchetta"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: My uncle has a country place
No one knows about He says it used to be a farm Before the Motor Law Why They're Misrhymed: Let's face it guys, there is no way to get 'about' to rhyme with 'law'... no matter how you pronounce either of them
Submitted by: Peregrine
| "Passage To Bangkok"
The Misrhymed Lyrics: Pulling in to Khatmandu
Smoke rings fill the ay-er Perfumed by a Nepal night The Express gets you they-er Why They're Misrhymed: The irony is, if they'd pronounced them properly, the words would've rhymed anyway.

Insulting Lyrics:
"Free Will"
The Insulting Lyrics: Blame is better to give then receive
Why They're Insulting: The whole song is a pretty stiff wake-up call for religeous people, and this lyric sums it up pretty well. Real people don't blame anyone or any abstract concept for their own failings. You tell 'em!

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

Super Long Pop Songs:
"Hemispheres" Length: 19 minutes and 7 seconds
A great song and album. Rush is one of those bands I have always liked, I don't play them much, but when I do it is a good thing.
Submitted by: Wade Brock
"2112" Length: 20:31
Another of those multi-part epic songs. The parts are: Overture, Temples of Syrinx, Discovery, Presentation, Oracle: The Dream, Soliloquy, and Grand Finale. It tells the story of a man in a dystopian future society who finds a guitar, and with it, rediscovers individuality.
