If You Play "Stairway To Heaven" Backwards You Get A Satanic Message

[THUNDER HANDS]

In the verse:

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be ararmed now/
It's just as spring clean for the May Queen/
Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run/
there's still time to change the road you're on.

played backwards becomes:

Oh here's to my sweet Satan/
The one whose little path would make me sad/
whose power is Satan/
He'll give you the 666/
There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer/
sad Satan.

1. I'm pretty sure that if you play anything backwards...

you get a message from Satan.
It's just the way they set up the Devil's communication system---
you know, lowest bidder, roasting in Hell, and all that.

9. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT play it SIDEWAYS, whatever you do.

[Texasgal]

2. Oh jeeez...

That's so silly, they slowed down the music so much you really can't decipher what it says. If there wern't words up there, I wouldn't know what was being sung....silly.

I suppose you could do this to any album to any song and some schmuck who obviously has nothing better do would try to come up with some BS about satan or whatever....

3. When I was a kid, the church my fundie parents dragged me to

Had a guy come out and demonstrate this for all of the kids. We didn't have a youth group, there weren't enough of us. Small congregation, creepy preacher. Anyway, it spooked the parents into wanting to burn all secular music. They couldn't get a permit from the city for the burn:P , and I rescued Rick Springfield from the trash can in the garage.

4. Oh yes, you get "Hairway to Steven" by the Butthole Surfers

Great record BTW.

5. Maybe the BH Surfer's greatest work....

Sheer psychedelic genius. It's been out of print for a long time. I used to have a clean copy on CD. I had heard something about a reissue, but I yet to see it.

Gibby is still stalking around Austin with His Problem.

8. Might be a little easier to get their back catalogue

if they hadn't yanked it from Touch & Go records in Chicago. IMHO, it's a little hard to make money from your catalogue if people can't get ahold of it.

6. That's strange-I heard a different one last time

[LeftyMom]

7. I thought Satan hid his messages in Chicago records

:evilgrin:

[TroubleMan]

10. Oh....you're talking about that rock version of Stairway to Heaven

I thought you meant the O'Jays song. There's nothing satanic about that one.

Zeppelin, on the other hand, I don't know that much about.

[Pepperbelly]

11. If they were going to backward mask ... why not say something that ...

actually makes semantical sense rather than blather?

A toolshed?

:scared:

[Boy Interrupted]

12. play another one bites the dust backward

and you get, decide to smoke marijuana

[Zenlitened]

13. I don't know why, but listening to that totally cracks me up

"There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan!"

ROTFL! :D
