Rhye does it have any meaning?, It's a place, a thing? well here in México it was translated as "Los Siete Mares de Armonía"(Armonía-harmony). Do you know something?

WHOAAAA!!!! That must be it!!! "The Seven Seas Of Booze" Would be wonderful!!!
Next question: "What kind of booze????"
I prefer Amaretto di Sarrono or Tequilla. Just normal beer is also okay.
Rye is a grain used to make whiskey and cereal, so I've always assumed this was an archaic spelling of the word. Also, I've also always assumed the song was about the seas drying up and being replaced by said grain and therefore literally creating oceans of alcohol...
I think I remember hearing something about how the song had to do with a city named Rhy, or something like that. All they did was add an 'e' to the end and played it as that.
I don't know, that's what I heard from somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
I answered this before...
Rhye is an Ancient Myth God from the sea.. who appears in the H.P. Lovecraft Tales
