Music Trivia -> Backwards Messages -> Latest Entries
These are INTENTIONAL messages that groups have recorded and placed in their songs. This differs from backwards masking in which bands supposedly sing a song in a special way so that when played backwards a hidden message appears.
The 20 most recent entries are listed below. There are 55 entries in this section.
"Revolution 9," The Beatles
The song is slightly infamous for having all kinds of crazy, somewhat-discernible stuff in it when played backwards, most famously a car crash sound followed by a voice yelling "Get me out! Get me out!" and the "Number nine, number nine" repeated through the song becoming "Turn me on, dead man. Turn me on, dead man."

"Amish Paradise," Weird All Yankovic
When you play this parody song backwards, you can hear in part of it "You're a wise little muffin."
Rachel
"Love Bites," Judas Priest
In the first verse after the guitar break, you can hear some weird, garbled stuff behind Rob Halford's voice- it's not subtle at all. Now, supposedly, if you play it backwards, you'll hear Rob saying "Attend the church of your choice" or some such thing. This was allegedly done in response to the band's being sued for having driven two young men in Reno to commit suicide. (The band was acquitted and no damages were awarded to the families of the unfortunate lads.)
Kieran from Nevada
"Loser," Beck
When you reverse the song itself, at around 1:07-1:17 (reverse time) you can clearly hear the Chorus of the song being song not in reverse.

"Ebay," Wierd Al Yancovic
In part of the song, you can hear in a voice that sounds very similar to Wierd Al's saying, "He was watching Star Wars."

"Nirbasion Annasion," Nik Turner (Ex-Hawkwind)
In this Nik turner song there is in a mumbled backwards message saying something in effect to space travel and the galactic forces that rule the universe.

"Magical Mystery Tour," Beatles
This is an album cover art message. On the album "Magical Mystery Tour" the letters that spell out Beatles has a distinct phone number in the stars that make up the Beatles. What I have heard is the the phone number was a contact number for fans to receive a message from the band, only in the UK.
Wade Brock
"Empty Spaces," Pink Floyd
In the song "Empty Spaces" from the "Wall" album it says in backwards messaging "Congratulations. You have just discovered the secret message. Send your answers to, Old Pink, care of the Funny Farm Chalford, UK.

"Creep In the Cellar," Butthole Surfers
On the album "Rembrant Pussyhorse" on the song "Creep In The Cellar" the entire song is played over the song being played backwards. Not very interesting, but it is there.
Wade Brock
"Aoxamoxa," Grateful Dead
This is a couple of backwards (cover art) messages from the Grateful Dead. The album "American Beauty" says "American Reality" if you look at it. The album "Aoxamoxa" the lettering spelling the "Grateful Dead" says "We Ate The Acid" in a mirror.
Wade Brock
"Arise," Amebix
In the song "Arise" by Amebix there is a backwards message saying "Listen to Hawkwind, Motorhead, smoke some glue....".
Wade Brock
"The Days of Pup and Taco," Lawndale
On the album "Beyond Bar B Que" at the end of the song it says "Looking for Satanic messages is bad for your needle." Lawndale is on SST Records and is a bit hard to find, but they are a great surf band.

"Assult & Battery (The Golden Void)," Hawkwind
In the song "Assult & Battery" by Hawkwind the first stanza of lyrics is actually a Longfellow poem. It is a beautiful song.
Wade Brock
"The Revenge of Anus Presley," Butthole Surfers
In the song "The Revenge of Anus Presley" there is a backwards message which says "There is a time to live, and a time to die, but I smoke Elvis Presleys toenails when I want to get high". It is on the album "Brown Reason to Live".
Wade Brock
"I am the Warlock," Probot
On Probot's first album, there is a hidden song at the end called "I am the Warlock". It is sung by Black Jack. Probot is Dave Grohl from Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. It is a tribute album to musicians that influenced him.
Wade Brock
"Mercy On The Boy," Icehouse
At the very beginning of the song, the words are indistinct, probably sounds like "I've got a pocket full of holes", what the hell?
Mickey D.
"The Party Broke Up," Was (Not Was)
At the very beginning, David Was sang it reversibly like "needless to say that the party broke up" before the normal words.
Mickey D.
"Geek Stink Breath," Green Day
Forwards: "Geek...Stink...Breath" Backwards: "Crap...Eat...Sh**" They did it on purpose.
