Mondegreen Fun - Misheard Lyrics A Rush Job

 It is time for another round of Misheard Lyrics or as it is technically known as "Mondegreen". Sometimes they can be earworms, sometimes not. But usually they will stick with you until you learn the real lyrics, if you do.

So for this episode I present a song from the rock group Rush. From their 1980 Album "Permanent Waves".


The song I misheard the lyrics to is "Freewill"

The words are from the chorus, this line "I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose freewill"


What I heard was "I will choose a bathysphere, I will choose freewill". I admit it was decades before I realized what the real lyrics were.

At least you figured out the real lyrics eventually. I'm sure there are hundreds of lyrics I confuse yet have zero idea. I'm just in my own little musicland.

I like this series, because even if you can't relate to the specific song, everyone can at least relate to the topic.
