The site Jayson posted has some great downloads with the sections nornal and backwards in 3 different speeds. There are some great ones like Here Comes the Sun and Stairway To Heaven. Makes you wonder if all were actually planned or were 'discovered' by some wacko that had nothing else to do but play the records backwards until something sounded like something. But I'm sure some were made on purpose. I mean, why not, sounds like fun.

Wasn't Judas Priest taken to court for something similar to this? Like there were some kids committing suicide to a certain song of theirs... I ferget right now, but it was a real famous case.

Yes, I saw that on VH1. Priest won the case. Man I'm watching too much TV.

By the way Rob Halford is back with them and touring the Ozzfest. I would really love to see them. Just gotta convience my friend to drive there :guitar:

Britney Spears' first song, Hit Me Baby One More Time (I think it's called), has a backwards message in it. At the part where she says "When I'm not with you I lose my mind" it Sounds like "Sleep with me I'm not too young"

Wow I find it strange that "Stairway to Heaven" wasn't mentioned. When I think of a song having a backwards message my mind automattically thinks of that and the famous

my sweet satan reference. Well anyway if you havent listened to it, theres alot of websites that have it and its pretty interesting.

Ok... a lot of these sound real, but some don't even make sense. like the shiek remembered we had the mumps. pff. the chances of something backwards sounding SLIGHTLY like a different thing is probably pretty high

If the singers sound like they are trying to add a message by mispronouncing things or adding syllables its a lot more likely.

John Linnell of They Might Be Giants recorded an interesting song called "On Earth My Nina." He took one of the band's other songs ("Thunderbird", which is on the album "The Spine"), listened to it backwards over and over again, and learned to sing the song backwards. When "On Earth My Nina" was released, there was no explanation for it, and "Thunderbird" hadn't even been released officially, so it just sounded like he was singing a bunch of nonsense words. But they did sound like WORDS. There's a part that goes "say the sparrow wants a morbid arrow, here's a quarter that's the one I wanted." When you play "On Earth My Nina" backwards, it really is the tune and words of "Thunderbird." I thought it was a great experiment, but it seems to prove that you can find "hidden messages" in anything you play backwards.
