    I believe it is the Canadian distress(SOS) signal.

      YYZ is the airport code for Toronto airport.

      Edit - and an awesome song! One of the best rock instrumentals (and drum solo with the Exit Stage Left version) of all-time.

          Yes, YYZ is the airport code for Toronto. And the intro is the morse code pattern for Y-Y-Z. I wonder how many bags of dope they smoked to come up with that one? They were probably laughing and high fiving each other when the song came together like that.

            Very old news, like back to 1981.
            The canadian trio, great Rush tune btw.
            One of several Rush tunes imo young guns of today should learn to play.
            Trees, is another excellent tune to learn as well.
            The concept side of Hemispheres is worth learning too.
            Great song writer and players, enough couldn't be said for them, great stuff.
            Peace, Love and Happieness and all that stuff...

            I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.

            Yes, there's a bee in the pudding.

                    Best 3 piece band ever in my opinion.

                        I never could understand the appeal of Rush. I love Peart but Getty has one of the worst voices I have ever heard. I think it's the lyrics I don't like the most, they're just really lame!

                          Just when I thought I was getting to like you, you come up with some nonsense bullshit comment like that. Now....I hate you, I have no respect for you, and don't ever call me again!

                              Peart wrote all the lyrics.

                              Geddy just sings them.
