1. "We belong to the City" reminds me of washing dishes at Max and Erma's back in high school because this dude Nadeem I worked with always sang it in accented (Middle Eastern accent I think) English when we worked.
2. The following lyric from the Rush song "Mission" always makes me think of Vincent Van Gogh:
"It's cold comfort
To the ones without it
To know how they struggled
How they suffered about it
If their lives were exotic and strange
They would likely have gladly exchanged them
For something a little more plain
Maybe something a little more sane."
Od course, so does Don MacLean's "Starry Starry Night." (duh).
