Is it coincidence?

I was talking to some mates about urban myths etc the other day and we got on to hidden messages in music played backwards
Go to the following link...

If you click on the song title in the list at the top...it loads the track...click on the words 'Show reverse lyrics' and it will tell you what they are saying
What do you think...are there any more around?

Well being a Pink Floyd fan, I'm aware of a hidden message on the Wall album. One of the tracks, can't remember which one redface

, contains a message which can be heard if the track is played backwards. With the help of a friend who had a reel to reel tape deck back in the 1980s, I was able to hear it.
Its a long time since I last played it but the gist of it was: "Congratulations, you have discovered the secret of this record. Send your answer to Old Pink, care of The Funny Farm, Little Chalfont".
The message was intended as a tribute to Syd Barrett, founder member of the group & responsible for its early success. He suffered some sort of mental collapse & spent some time in a mental institution.... allegedly in Little Chalfont!!!

This place really is the font of all knowledge - most of it trivial but interesting.

The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper album has a loop of track right up against the label, on side 2, which plays (over and over again if on a non-automatic turntable): "We never could be any other". However, if you turn it anti-clockwise, with your finger, it sounds like "we'll fuck your fucking superman".
....knowledge through the ages....

I remember playing Sgt Pepper backwards to listen to that one. I think I heard it slightly differently (you fuck, your fuckin superman), but you're probably right Mike.

These are the things we miss cos of CDs - though I have had some which have about half an hour of silence and then another track appears! Used to me until CD players started to show track numbers.
:shock:

No, you could be right, Tool...but what's one word in 37 years.... lol

no problem... but I cant believe these are the only ones in music history.

Of course, if you play a Hanson record backwards, it sounds better.
If you play a Windows CD backwards, you get a demonic message. If you let it run normally, something even more terrifying happens. It installs Windows... :eeek: :shock:

Not to do with music played backwards, but my favourite piece of pop trivia.
On Hey Jude by The Beatles, if you crank the volume right up 2 minutes 58 seconds into the song you hear Paul McCartney fluff a backing vocal. His response to this mistake? To shout "Fuckin' 'ell!" which is clearly audible on the track.
The second song to make it to number one despite containing gratuitous swearing was Happy Talk by Captain Sensible, which contains the line "Golly baby, I'm a lucky c*nt". It isn't even buried under multiple dubs, it's there for all to hear on the track.

I'd always wondered about that line in 'Happy Talk'. Is that definitely what he says?

Not connected with specific tracks but I told Morbius about the "Paul is dead" posse earlier and he's spent most of the afternoon reading up on one of the funniest conspiracies theories ever!

On a par with the moon landing conspiracy theory :twisted: :twisted:
