    Songs Backwards

    I'm sure most of you have heard this, it's really old, but it's crazy. You can go to this website that plays songs backwards and it says really weird things. Click Show reverse Lyrics and sing along!

      I swear, that's gotta be coincidence. Nobody but massacists would actively try to sing something backwards to have some crazy subliminal message...

          Who in their spare time listens to music backwards searching for something that resembles a sentence? Weird.

            like the "another one bites the dust" song by Queen, right?

              I'm sure that in just about every song played backwards there is something that resembles some kind of phrase.

              For example, the first song I tried, Minority by Green Day, when he says, "I want to be the minority" played backwards sounds like "You're on the money".

                Well, I think the Pink Floyd one was intentional.

                But otherwise, it's just good fun, I guess.
                I can't tell what they're saying at all unless I look at the lyrics.

                  I heard "slee wimme ahmm nahtoo yann" pretty clearly, and "marawana" pretty clearly as well. Paul is Dead I didn't really hear to well, but when you play a song like "Revolution Number Nine" backwards, you DO hear "Paul is Dead, he's really dead!" or something similar. Paul is the Walrus means Paul is Dead in Beatles Speak.

                  I am the walrusss
                  I am the WALRUSSS
                  I AM THE WALRUSSS
                  GOO GOO, KA-CHOO!

                  I didn't hear the Pink Floyd one due to volume, but when I looked at the lyrics and turned to volume up, it was very there.

                  Signature subject to change.

                  THE ZERRRRRG.

                      I think the John Lennon one with Yoko Ono is the most indistinguishable.
                      Like, it sounds closer to "bleh blooh blah" than "I shot John Lennon"

                        Anyone ever heard "Staralfur" by Sigur Ros? A portion of that song sounds ~exactly the same~ backwards. It's a musical palindrome.

                          That Stairway to Heaven one scared the crap out of me. I might have nightmares about that one. But I think Backmasking was a crazy thing rock artists did for various reasons. Ever seen "Little Nicky" when Adam Sandler played the Chicago record backwards and it said, " I command you in the name of Lucifer, to spread the blood of the innocent!"? That was funny as hell.

                            Some confirmed masked, backwards or otherwise obscured messages in Boards of Canada tracks:

                            * "Sixtyniner" -- Midway through the song, a monologue from a porn film can be heard, detailing a young man's experience losing his virginity. The vocals are very faint and may be difficult to pick up if one's listening equipment is not configured properly.
                            * "An Eagle In Your Mind" -- A description of a place named "Holts" can be heard throughout the song, but it's also pretty difficult to pick up under the music.
                            * "Happy Cycling" -- The vocals at the end of the song are reversed. They are taken from an interview with Jeff Lynne regarding the controversy over reported reversed messages in a few of Electric Light Orchestra's songs.
                            * "In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country" -- The repeated distorted vocals are "Come out, and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country", a slogan used in Branch Davidian recruiting videos.
                            * "1969" -- The repeated highly distorted vocals are "Although not a follower of David Koresh, she's a devoted Branch Davidian", ostensibly regarding Amo Bishop Roden (who has a separate BoC song named for her), a principal Davidian.
                            * "Alpha and Omega" -- Reversed vocals towards the end: "I'm a God-darned Satanist, and, if I wanted, I'd be in [t]his business too"
                            * "The Devil is in the Details" -- The vocals throughout the entire track are muffled, through use of effect processors. They appear to be instructions from a meditation or self-help advice session.
                            * "You Could Feel the Sky" -- The phrase "a god with horns" is audible at several points throughout the track.
                            * "A is to B as B is to C" -- When played in reverse, the message "we love you all" can be heard, as well as a barking dog and an excerpt from the song "Teddy Bears' Picnic". And the part of the song that beings "I have been gone about a week" and ends with "Occupied" is an audio palindrome - it sounds exactly the same in reverse play as it does in normal play.
