On their Rush In Rio DVD, the band slows down the tempo for a brief pause and we hear Homer Simpson say "Doh!" then Lisa Simpson say "A Deer!" followed by Marge Simpson saying "A female Deer," As the band kicks it back up a notch to finish the song.
Geddy Lee on programming the opening sequence (Bass Player magazine, 1987): "Usually I'll do a basic sequence as a direction of a part, and then when (keyboardist) Andy Richards comes in the studio he listens to what I've done. If he can improve on it, he has full license to go ahead. And the nice thing about working with him is he's very open to everybody's ideas. I can think up an idea that I don't have the technical ability to play, but he does, and he'll take that idea even farther than I imagined it. That's a real bonus for me."
In the first verse, what sounds like a guitar with a vibrato arm is actually Lee playing a PPG synthesizer with a guitar sound sampled into it.
