Back when we had the backmasking thread, I believe I mentioned that doing this way the only way to prove backmasking is bollocks. I took one minute of the most innocent song I could think of and played it backwards.

you might be just the guy I need to interpret some of big walter's vocals. On the 1973 recording of have a good time he sings "don't need nothin but munnerin clo" I've tried playin it backwards but that appears to be a song by the fugs.
Sure, why not. The thing was in that backmasking thread we had, it occurred to me that nobody that I was aware of had ever played gospel music backwards for backmasking. I decided then I'd try it and I did. ---------- David

I don't remember the thread. I thought we had the discussion back in the 70s and it was all settled. It's a big stretch to hear the words in that piece you posted so that they match what you wrote. If you could apply the same process to that big Walter song I'd be mighty obliged. Someone thought his (have a good time) "judgment day comes" was "dumb as they come". Posted it on the net, and ever since people are singing it that way. ----------
One time long ago I was messing around with a deck of cards and a book about fortune telling with playing cards. I found a page where the deal was that if you place something belonging to someone between some cards and then dealt the next card and it came up Ace of Hearts - or something like that - the person whose item was being used would contact you. I shuffled the cards well, and took a lock of hair that a woman - who is a great friend and who I am close to - had given me, and placed it between the cards. I dealt the next card, it came up Ace of Hearts and the telephone rang immediately. It was the woman calling. I was so freaked out that I didn't pick up the phone. It was chilling.
The moral of this story, and as it applies to this thread is this: don't mess around with the other side unless you absolutely know what you are doing and you are ready to go all the way, and don't think that this Satanic backmasking stuff is always a bunch of BS. You may be surprised one day. Shit happens in mysterious ways.

Here's a backwards video, played forwards. The crazy thing here is that these guys had to actually learn to sing the lyrics backwards and sing along to the track playing backwards while filming, so that when played forwards, their lips would sync up. Now that's pretty wild.
Here's something interesting from a musical standpoint. This is Phil Keaggy, a guitar player who is pretty well known for using a looping pedal when he performs live. On this tune, however, the tune starts with the guitar lick playing backwards, and he built an instrumental around it. I've also seen him play live many times where he'll play a riff, then hit the pedal to play it back backwards, and jam along to it. This may be something fun to try with the harmonica.
I found another one of those videos with parts of it backwards played forward. It happens at 2:50... but Amish Paradise isn't something I can fast forward through - I think it's about the most hilarious thing ever - except MAYBE Al's CIA song (staging the coups like, yeah).
