"Rick Moranis Rides Hard for Rush", where Moranis remembers recording "Take Off" with Geddy Lee:
Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. He moved away when we
were still young but I remember him like I do all my friends from back
then. Then in 1982 Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as
the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was
on. So when we did the album we wound up having Geddy sing the vocal
lead for the first single, "Take Off."
That was the first time I had seen him since we were kids and the first
time he had this enormous success. I've seen him subsequently a number
of times and he always says, "That's the only number one record I've
ever had!" Which is insane to me because those guys have sold about a
150 zillion records.
