Later Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush joined the concert, first as animated versions of themselves and then live on stage, where they performed their iconic 1977 song Closer to the Heart". Claypool doubled up the bass while Stone, along with Primus drummer Tim Herb" Alexander kept the beat. The song was played fairly straightforwardly, but the lyrics were changed to closer to South Park" towards the end. This changeup amused Lee a great deal.
Trying out these new South Park lyrics was def. crackin' me up!
