Backmasking in music...

For those of you interested in playing music backwards to check for hidden messages, check out the following. I realize these may not be intentional, but regardless I found these interesting.

Led Zepplin - Stariway to Heaven
FORWARDS: If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now. It's just a spring clean for the May Queen. Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there's still time to change the road you are on.

BACKWARDS: Oh here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give you, give you 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.

Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
FORWARDS: When I'm not with you I lose my mind, give me a sign.

BACKWARDS: Sleep with me, I'm not too young.

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust(This one's my absolute fav :stoned:)
FORWARDS: Another one bites the dust.

BACKWARDS: It's fun to smoke marijuana.

If any of you know of other interesting backmasks (whether intentional or unintentional) feel free to share them.

the beatles had numerous "hidden", backwards messages in their songs from 1966-68.

They had to have wrote the forward lyrics with the backwards in mind, since they make no sense. Its like braindead Bob Dylan :p

Yeah the whole Paul is dead thing

Backmasking began with The Beatles. John Lennon, while under the influence of cannabis, played the tapes for "Tomorrow Never Knows", a song from Revolver, in reverse. Lennon enjoyed the sound of the song being played backwards, and shared the results with the other Beatles the following day.[2] He then wrote "Rain", intending the song to be recorded entirely backwards; but George Martin (who claims he discovered the backwards effect) rejected this, and only the final verse was played backwards.

He he I used to have a minor obsession with the whole concept of backmasking

its quite the interesting subject

here's a cool site to check out if you wanna hear some of them for yourself

Forward: Gotta catch em all, gotta catch em all
Backwards: I love satan, I love satan

that wasn't even backwards.

Lennon supposedly said it, but he has told the public many times that it was "Cranberry Sauce" not "Paul is dead"

This is such a stretch, I've heard it many times, but you can't hear all of it in any of them, parts of it kind of sounds like the words, but its pretty much impossible to make out everything they say

Well if you listen to the one on the link up there it's really clear

I know Pink Floyd backmask's in Empty Spaces. About half-way through it, the message is, "...congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont."

haha yeah, but that is on purpose, obviously

Am I the only one who got creeped out listening to those backmasking on that site posted here? For some reason it sounds so demonic, so, exorcist like. Creeps me out! Especially the Yoko Ono one saying, I shot Lennon. *shiver*

I think Weird Al did an intentional one as well in a song that said "you have too much time on your hands." Can't remember the song though, because I'm not a big fan of Weird Al.

they are all like...kinda evil, like stairway to heaven

how would you do it so it has a backwards message though? id kinda like to try something like that.

I really wish some one would record an audio file or something with the shit that is claimed to be said backwards by a singer or w/e.

^If I could actually sing and had a decent mic I would probably do that. lol.
