[edit] Pop-culture references

The song's lyrics make several references to several pop culture icons.

• The repeated line "Hi-Ho Silver, Ride" in the chorus is a reference to The Lone Ranger's catchphrase.
• A spoken interlude in the song muses about Rush lead singer Geddy Lee's distinctive high-pitched vocal stylings.
