hidden messages in songs
 

I finally realized that Michael Hutchence says "I'm better than Oasis" in the chorus of Elegantly Wasted. I know there are quite a few legitimate backmasked messages like Pink Floyd's Empty Spaces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...asked_messages

Any others buried in the song or backmasked?

I read somewhere that when you play Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" backwards, Ozzy recites a recipe for his grandmother's banana nut bread.

I would like a band to backmask "We're fucking with you! We're fucking with you!" into a song just to annoy someone.

Weird Al has two.

In "Nature Trail to Hell", there's a section that played backwards says "Satan eats Cheese Whiz"

In "I Remember Larry" three's another backwards message that says "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands"

I think it's been disputed as coincidence, but always got a kick out of Zep's Stairway to Heaven phrase (when played backwards). "Here's to my sweet satan."

I remember Queen, The Eagles and Judas Priest also having alleged hidden messages in some of their songs.

Never knew that. Noel Gallagher called Hutchence a has been at the 1996 Brit awards so I guess we know where that came from.

"Turn me on, dead man".

"It's fun to smoke marijuana"

Also, "my sweet Satan"

Be nice if you mention the songs.

Re: hidden messages in songs
 

I know I've read that. Where's it from?

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.

Sorry, thought these were all pretty famous:

"Turn me on Dead Man" - Revolution # 9 by the Beatles (play the "number nine" backwards)

"It's fun to smoke marijuana" - Another one Bites the Dust by Queen (play the chorus backwards)

"My Sweet Satan" - Stairway to Heaven (play the verse that starts "if there's a bustle in your hedgerow" backwards) actually, the whole verse is apparently backmasked

All of these are clearly deliberate to me.

One other one, "Paul is dead now, miss him, miss him!" - lead in to "Blackbird" coming off of the outro to "I'm So Tired" on the white album. This one is very clear.

Damn. And here I thought the other brother was supposed to be the big asshole.

"I buried Paul" or according to John Lennon "cranberry sauce" in Strawberry Fields Forever.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

:lol::up: at that Zeppelin reel-to-reel clip from the 70s.

Re: hidden messages in songs
 

I was possessed by a demon for a good thirty seconds after playing that Zep clip. Luckily the Mountain Dew I drank cleansed my soul.

Re: hidden messages in songs
 

That dipshit was also the likely inspiration for the character "Arseface" in Garth Ennis and Steve Fillon's excellent comic book series Preacher, soon to become a disappointing, watered-down series on AMC.
