Aparently, this is called backmasking, though I didn't know that until, in a fit of boredom, I went looking on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and clicked a few links at almost random. Anyway, there is a page about it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking but has anyone here ever tried it? Oh, and Jasper Carrott (a brilliant stand up comedian) says he once tried playing a heavy metal record backwards once, to see if there was a Satanic message there. And aparently it said "Your stylus is knackered...your stylus is knackered...Your stylus is knackered..."

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen. Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run; theres still time to change the road your on." Played reverse: "Oh heres 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 tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan." And it isn't just that site. A while back I played Stairway to Heaven backwards, and sure enough it was the same thing.

OOOHH i love it. who the #$%^ are you?" there are some good sites that have a lot of sound clip examples. i recently heard that ozzy actually recited in reverse during a concert "satan is lord" 3 times. ofcourse that wasn't as odd as the rest of them, as it didn't sound like anything while said in reverse, where as true examples do.

You don't stand a chance Posts: 3,867 Group: Admin Member #4 Joined: April 13, 2006	If you play Britney Spears' song "...Baby One More Time", it (very roughly) says at one point "Sleep with me, I'm not too young."
