An article this week in the Salt Lake Tribune about backwards masking in rock music linked to Jeff Milner's classic "Stairway to Heaven: Backwards" site. Jeff has added a few more recent tunes to the satanic jukebox of sin, including Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time":
Play forward: "With you I lose my mind give me a si…"
Reverse play: "Sleep with me, I'm not too young."
and the devious "Pokemon Rap":
Play forward: "Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all (yo), Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all (yeah)"
Reverse play: "I love satan, I love satan. I love satan, I love satan."
My all-time favorite though is Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." As kids, MTV.com writer Gil Kaufman and I played the song backwards for my dad to prove that the rumors were true about a hidden suggestion to "smoke marijuana." My dad shrugged and said he thought is sounded more like "go to California."
