Backward masking.

[Beware the Beast Man]

Anybody remember some good ones?

I just discovered the other day that the Franz Ferdinand song "Michael" has a backwards message: "Call your mother. She is worried about you." they wanted to put something positive in their message, so they did one for a homesick band member.

1. There's the famous Led Zeppelin one

Stairway to Heaven played backwards says "There's no escaping it-give your soul to Satan."

Or, it says "Ders oesxav unglt-fiver sosu btn"

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. "Ma swede saytn."

That's a classic.

3. Bloodhound Gang - Lift Your Head Up High and Blow Your Brains Out

"Eenoruffeeb eardah-oyb fesh vuh lobe uh teg oagn dap utt egg I ade earev."

"Every day I get up and go get a bowl of Chef Boyardee Beef-a-roni."

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. I always wondered what they were saying.

"I hope you take this the wrong way and misinterpret what I say." heheh..

5. Yeah..."If Dogs Run Free" by Bob Dylan.

THere's a line right after "Oh the wind that blows my tail to thee.." that sounds like "Thogh wind deep, soul bleep." Played backwards, Bob clearly sings:

If Mars invades us...

I remember reading about this as a kid, digging out my dad's copy of "New Morning" and trying it out myself...and CLEAR AS A BELL it's there. Freaked me the fuck OUT....I couldn't sleep for days after that. What could he have been talking about? "Mars?!" Why only a sentence fragment?

There was also that book, "Big Secrets" by Bill Poundstone, back in the 80's, that had a big section on backwards messages on records. A good read.

6. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen

is suppose to say "It's fun to smoke marijuana."

What did Prince's "Darling Nicki" say back wards? IIRC it was really smutty.
