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.

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.

Re: hidden messages in songs
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.

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.
