Artist Source Listen Message Comments
A Perfect Circle "Renholdër" (album) "Danny Lohner, Danny Lohner" Said in a high-pitched voice. The title, "Renholdër," is "Re: D. Lohner" backwards. Danny Lohner was an early member of A Perfect Circle.[1]
Ash (band) "Evil Eye" (album) "She's giving me the evil eye, suck Satan's cock."[2] Said at the beginning of the song. Lead singer Tim Wheeler remarked that "Yeah, we did hide a secret message in 'Evil Eye', but it's not that bad..."[3]
At the Drive-In "300 MHz" (EP) "...your enamel / made no reflection in our mirror / coughing up the coffins / cotton candy coated teeth / [unknown] / amnesia proletariat / in the unlikely event / that sarcasm is an unfitting dress / amnesia proletariat / amnesia proletariat / amnesia / coughing up the coffins / cotton candy coated teeth / these pockets were clinching / all filled with teeth / sharpened on the fucking hides of men..."[4] Heard by reversing the song starting at the 94 second mark. The message is composed of rearranged verses from earlier in the song.
The B-52's "Detour Through your Mind" (album) "I buried my parakeet in the backyard. Oh no, you're playing the record backwards. Watch out, you might ruin your needle."[5] At the end of the track. This is one of a few songs poking fun at psychedelia.
The Beatles "Rain" "...the sun shines. Raaain. When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads"[6] Gibberish occurs during the fade out (accompanying music is not reversed), actually sections of the vocal melody. This was one of the earliest instances of backmasking. The deliberate reversal was repeatedly acknowledged by John Lennon and others.[7]
"Free As a Bird" "Turned out nice again." Can be heard during the song's fade-out. Was commented upon by many newspapers after the album's release in 1995 and the discovery of the message by BBC engineer Simon Clifford.[8][9] Paul McCartney stated that, "We even put one of those spoof backwards recordings on the end of the single for a laugh, to give all those Beatles nuts something to do."[10]
"Gnik Nus" "Here comes the Sun King. Here comes the Sun King. Everybody's laughing. Everybody's happy. Here comes the Sun King." While remixing and rearranging several Beatles recordings for the Cirque du Soleil show Love, producer George Martin and his son Giles wanted to reverse an effect in The Beatles' song Sun King, and found the reversed vocal melody to be pleasant enough to include in the performance. The song was titled "Gnik Nus" ("Sun King" spelled backwards) for inclusion in the Love CD.
Beavis and Butt-Head Beavis and Butt-Head Do America In one scene, Beavis and Butt-Head hallucinate, and voices are heard in the background. The voices are the two characters speaking phrases such as "Everybody go to college, study hard, study hard."[11]
Beck "Loser" "Soy un perdedor. I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me"[4] (entire chorus reversed) After the last time Beck says "I'm a loser so why don't you kill me", and before he says "I'm a driver, I'm a winner."
Ben Folds "Jesusland" (album) "...laaaand." Heard at the very beginning of the song before piano begins.
Blizzard Entertainment Diablo "Eat your vegetables and brush after every meal." Played just as the player enters the 16th level.[12]
Warcraft III "I love green trees." Played after the player continuously clicks on the Demon Hunter hero a number of times. The backmasked message sounds like "siege niege avalya."[13]
The Bloodhound Gang Lift Your Head Up High (and blow your brains out) "Devil child will wake up and eat Chef Boyardee Beefaroni" Said in a deep, odd-sounding voice. Preceded by "I hope you take this the wrong way / And misinterpret what I say / Rewind and let me reverse it / Backwards like Judas Priest first did"[14]
Boards of Canada "You Could Feel the Sky" (album) "A god with horns"[15] Clearly audible close to the second minute mark. See also List of samples used by Boards of Canada.
"1969" (album) "David Koresh" In the sentence "Although not a follower of David Koresh, she's a devoted Branch Davidian." The rest of the sentence is not backmasked.[15]
"A Is To Be As B Is To C" (album) "I've been gone about a week..." Audible both forwards and backwards — a phonetic palindrome[16]
Bob and Doug McKenzie "Black Hole" "Good day, I'm Bob McKenzie. This is my brother, Doug." "Take off!" "No, how's it goin'?" "Oh, sorry, eh." "No, you take off!" "You take off!" "You blew it!" "Oh, sorry." "This is the backwards part." "Alright, start over." "Forget it!" On their Great White North album, the comic duo explain on this track that there's a "secret message" to be played backwards that "will give you clues to what really happened."[17] The message is preceded by an invitation to play the next part backwards "like you do with some other albums."
The Brak Show "Robotic Hymn of Doom" "Why are you listening to this song backwards, you could have been on a date with a girl" Song sang by Thundercleese as he was going to be shut down.[18]
Cake "Jesus Wrote a Blank Check" (album) "Don't forget to breathe in." This occurs after the song ends (about 3:06 of the track).[19]
Choking Victim "Hate Yer State" "You think you're alive motherfucker? You're just the walking fucking dead, you're a fucking sheep, stepping on my back to stay alive. West coast, East coast, you're all just a bunch of fucking fools, you and the rest of this greedy fucking world. Kill yourself! So remember, stay in school, say no to drugs, oh yeah! Hail Satan! Good night boys and girls, pleasant dreams." Reversal of undeciperable gibberish at beginning of song.[20][5]
Chris de Burgh "The Vision" "And then a vision..." [3x] Heard at the beginning of the track after segueing from "The Leader" (where this sample was taken), another track on the album Into the Light.
Chumbawamba "Look! No Strings!" "Oh fuck me Jesus!" Near the end of the song. References the band's "Fuck Me Jesus" tour.[21] Chumbawamba was described by the press in a Kenswick, where they played a concert, as "the worst of the American Satanic backwards message bands"[22]
"Mary, Mary" A girl reciting Hail Marys[23] The very end of this song wraps up a theme from the beginning in which "Mary" recites the Hail Mary. The recitation is quite obviously backmasked given the sound and length of the reversed version.[24][25]
Clone High "Raisin the Stakes" JFK falls through the cafeteria sunroof, lands, and begins to foam at the mouth and speak gibberish. The gibberish played backwards is JFK saying "I am talking backwards, and telling you to watch Clone High ... and for us to get an Emmy ... I'm saying that backwards ... 'cause it's sneaky!"[26]
Cradle of Filth "Dinner at Deviants Palace" (album) Ambient sounds and a reversed reading of the Lord's Prayer[23][27][5] Backwards readings of the Lord's Prayer are allegedly used in certain demonic rites.[28][29])
Darkthrone "As Flittermice As Satan's Spys" (album) "In the name of God, let the churches burn." At the end of the track.[30]
Deep Purple "Stormbringer" "The cocksucker, motherfucker, stormbringer." Can be heard at the beginning of the song before the first verse.
Def Leppard "Rocket" (album) "We are fighting with the gods of war" A preview of another song, "Gods of War", on the album Hysteria.[5]
"White Lightning" (album) "She's got the rhythm of love" From the song "Heaven Is," recorded backwards.[31]
Deicide "Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Satan spawn, cacodaemon, cacodaemon, cacodaemon, satan spawn, cacodaemon, cacodaemon, cacodaemon."[5] At the beginning of the track, accompanied by bleating of sheep. Effectively the same as the chorus.
Dieter Bohlen "Bizarre Bizarre" "Es gibt nie ein Ende von Modern Talking." ("There will never be an ending of Modern Talking.") Bohlen has said that the message was a joke, and that he wanted to say that the music of Modern Talking would last forever.[32]
DMC "Find My Way" (album) "I ain't no punk. I got a pump in the trunk, but I don't talk junk." This occurs after the words "confuscious states" in the first verse.
Drowning Pool "Sermon" "Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you believe" A reversal of earlier parts of the song. Drummer Mike Luce said, "It's just a homage. A tribute back to the old school."[33]
Duran Duran "Burning the Ground" "This is Planet Earth." Heard at 0:38 of the track. This sample was taken from another Duran Duran song, "Planet Earth".
Electric Light Orchestra "Mr. Radio" "Hello Mr. Radio..." Heard at 1:57 of the track.
"Down Home Town" (album) "Pass the mighty waterfall" (2x)[34][35] At the beginning of the track. This album was released in 1975 following allegations of a hidden message in 1974's Eldorado, and was a satirical response.[36][37]
"Fire On High" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "The music is reversible, but time... (violin note) is not. Turn back! Turn back! Turn back! Turn back!"[38][35] Reversal of a mysterious deep mumbling. Another response to the Eldorado controversy.[37]
Various from Secret Messages "Welcome to the show" (2x),[36] "Thank you for listening", "Look out there's danger ahead", "Hup two three four", "Time After Time", "you're playing me backwards", and more[34] This concept album, released by ELO in 1983, contains many backwards and hidden messages, both visual and auditory.[39] It was a further response to the Satanic backmasking controversy.[37] The British release contains a parody warning label about the backward messages, but this was deleted by CBS Records for the United States version.[36]
Eminem "Stimulate" "I'm not here to save you / I've here for the ride / So let me entertain you / And everything will be fine."[40] At the end of the track.
Eurythmics "This City Never Sleeps" (album) "I enjoyed making the record, very good, very good" At the end of the song, after some seconds of silence.[41][42]
Filter "The 4th" (album) "Ooh what a hell of a place, what a hell of a place." This part is most clear for the first 1:30 of the song.[43]
Five Iron Frenzy "The Untimely Death of Brad" (EP) "Brad is dead. Lets kill Brad." The first part of the gibberish. Nathaneal "Brad" Dunham, the trumpet player for the band, missed a concert, inspiring a rumor that he was dead. The band put this into one of their songs for humorous effect. The message is a a takeoff on the Paul Is Dead phenomenon.[4]
Frank Zappa "Hot Poop" (album) "Better look around before you say you don't care, / Shut your f[censored]ing mouth about the length of my hair, / How would you survive / If you were alive, / Shitty little person?" This was done by Zappa, along with The Mothers of Invention, in 1968. Appears on the original vinyl record. These lines were cut from a different track, "Mother People", and replaced with less offensive lyrics. But the original lyrics were recorded backwards into the end of "Hot Poop", though with the word "fucking" mostly cut out.[44]
"Ya Hozna" (album) Various messages, including "I am the heaven / I am the water / Ich bin deine Ritze / Ich bin deine Ritze und Schlitze", "You're a lonely little girl / But your Mommy & your Daddy don't care", "I'm like reach / I'm like squat / I'm like roll / Repeat / Like roll over / Like thrust / Okay, like pull / Like push / I'm like . . . / Okay, like . . . blow / I'm blow"[45], "You're never too old", and "Ich bin hier / Und du bist mein Sofa"[46] The vocals on "Ya Hozna" song are all backwards, although the backing track and guitar are mostly forwards. The vocals are made up of distorted outtakes from "Valley Girl", "Lonely Little Girl", and "Sofa #2".[47] The lyrics sheet reads, "backwards vocal — you figure it out".[36] Zappa released the song in part as a response to the Parents Music Resource Center controversy, during which he testified at a Senate hearing regarding "porn rock".[48]
Franz Ferdinand "Michael" "Call your mother, she's worried about you." Right before the second verse. A reference to bassist Bob Hardy's homesickness during the recording of the album. The band "wanted to do the exact opposite [of Satanic backmasking], put the most positive thing we could think of as a backwards message."[49]
Grim Reaper "Final Scream" (album) "See you in hell!"[23] Said by a demonic voice. References the band's first album, See You In Hell.
Iced Earth "Damien" "Your pain on the cross was but a splinter compared to the agony of my father. I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass, you profaner of Isis." Reversed lyrics from earlier in the song.[50]
ID Software Doom II "To win the game you must kill me, John Romero." The final boss, the Icon of Sin, says this as an incoherent "Satanic" speech. If a no-clipping cheat is used, the player can walk through a wall and see Romero's bloody, severed head on a stake. Romero was a programmer for the game; he put the backwards message (with distortions) in to get back at the artists who put the image of his head on the final level.[51]

Interestingly enough, the music for this level was specifically designed such that it plays exactly the same backwards as forwards.

Incubus "Azwethinkweiz" (album) "Thursday Night we smoked indica, and Azwethinkweizm was born"[52] Said by Brandon Boyd.
Information Society "Are Friends Electric" (album) "Obey your parents. Do your homework. Winners don't do drugs."[53] Heard between the songs "Are Friends Electric" and "Ozar Midrashim." The back of the album cover features the disclaimer "InSoc can accept no responsibility for the mental effect of the backwards message."[54]
Insane Clown Posse "House of Horrors" (album) "I'll kill ya; I'm gonna..." Heard at 2:49 of the track.
"Echo Side" (album) "Fuck the Devil! Fuck that shit! We believe in life legit. If you diggin' what we say, why you throw your soul away?"[55] Heard after "licked the back of his neck and said.."
"Everybody Rise" (album) "Yeah, if you flip this message cuz you think there's some secret message, there ain't shit!"[23] Reversal of gibberish at the end of the track. Said by Violent J.
Iron Maiden "The Trooper" "Hmm, Hmmm, what ho sed de t'ing wid de t'ree bonce. Don't meddle wid t'ings you don't understand", followed by a belch. Found between the songs "The Trooper" and "Still Life", on Piece of Mind. It is an inebriated Nicko McBrain (the drummer) doing his "famous" impression of Idi Amin Dada. It translates to the following: "'What ho,' said the monster with the three heads, 'don't meddle with things you don't understand.'"[56][53]

The message was included by the band in response to allegations of Satanism that were surrounding them at the time.[57]

J. Geils Band "No Anchovies, Please" "It doesn't take a genius to tell the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad."[35] Disguised as a foreign-sounding language spoken under the narration.[36]
Jay Chou "You Can Hear" (album) "Zhi you ni neng ting de dao" ("Only you can hear it") Following the same line forwards. This is done intentionally, so if you play it backwards, "only you can hear it".[58]
Journey "Message of Love" (album) "Message... of... love... love." Can be heard at the beginning of the track.
Korn "Shoots and Ladders" "This is madness" Can be heard spoken repeatedly throughout the chorus.[59][5]
L7 "Boys in Black" "All beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Two all beef patties. (laugh)"[5] The formula for a Big Mac.
Lacuna Coil "Self Deception" (album) "I don't know what to do, no guilt is in my heart, I don't know what to do, I'm not the reason" The backwards message is the chorus of the song.[60]
Linkin Park "P5hng Me A*wy" (album) "Everything falls apart even the people who never frown eventually break down. Everything has to end you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind."[61] During the intro and breaks.
Lost "Man of Science, Man of Faith" "Don't push the button, the button is bad" or "Push the button, no button is bad" Walt Lloyd is heard, and confirmed to be, speaking backwards, although fans argue on what he says.[62]
Marilyn Manson "Tourniquet" (album) "This is my lowest point of vulnerability"[5] At the opening of the track.
"Astonishing Panorama of the Endtimes" (album) "And to die with dignity, sing to the..."[5] Sung by children at the opening of the track.
"Revelation #9" Various messages. For example, "You are on the other side now...there ain't no going back once you been here, brothers and sisters...there ain't no going back."[63] Appear on the Get Your Gunn single version.
The Mars Volta "Eunuch Provocateur" (album) "Have mommy or daddy ever had to spank you?", "I'm very fond of this one about an old spider friend of mine", "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout / down came the rain and washed the spider out / out came the sun and dried up all the rain / and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again."[64] The second part is the song "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
Mindless Self Indulgence "Backmask" "Respect your parents." / "Clean your room." / "Do your homework." / "Don't stay out too late." / "Eat your vegetables." / "Put away your toys." / "Don't sit too close to the TV." / "Take the dog for a nice walk." / "Hurry up! Get dressed for church." / "Who needs me to suck their dick?" / (at the end of the song) "Don't listen to this song."[4] Clearly audible reversed speech by Little Jimmy Urine; starts at 2:10 into the song and lasts until the end. The song speaks degradingly about angsty teenagers who look for backwards messages in music, and contains the lyrics "Play that record backwards/ Here's a message yo for the suckas/ Play that record backwards/ And go fuck yourself."
Missy Elliott "Work It" (album) "I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it."[55] Played forwards then twice backwards, though many listeners still puzzled over the meaning of the backwards part.
Motörhead "Nightmare/The Dreamtime" (album) "Now tell me, about your miserable little lives. I do not subscribe to your supersticious, narrow minded flights* of paranoia. I and people like me, will always prevail! You will never stifle* our free speech in any country in the world, 'coz we will fight forever*." "In a single stroke, you poor, stupid, running dogs. Why is it..." [Words followed by a * are difficult to make out, and may be incorrect][23] Various sections of the song. Reputedly a message to the Parents Music Resource Center.[65]
Mr. Bungle "Egg" (album) "Rotting from the inside / over-incubated by the heat of fear and love / the self's coagula[ted]"[66] These are the lyrics from the start of the track, although the backwards version is a different take.
Nevermore "Sentient 6" (album) "I am the bringer of the end, hear me, I am the beast that is technology."[67][68] Occurs at 4:43. There is a recurring theme in Nevermore albums about humanity becoming enslaved by technology.
Oingo Boingo "Cry of the Vatos" (album) "Just once or twice is good for your soul / Praise God! Brothers and sisters! / Accept Jesus into your heart and you will saved! / You will receive everlasting life / Listen to me, I've sinned, I know / Praise Jesus and you will be saved, saved, saved / Praise God, you are healed, healed, healed." Entire song.[69]
Ozzy Osbourne "Bloodbath In Paradise" (album) "Your mother sells whelks in Hull"[70] A parody of the most famous line from The Exorcist, in which the possessed child screams "Your mother sucks cocks in hell." The message appears to be related to an earlier lawsuit against Ozzy related to alleged subliminal messages on his album Blizzard of Ozz.
Petra "Judas Kiss" (album) "What are you looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord?"[5] A response to the backmasking controversy.[36]
Pink Floyd "Empty Spaces" "...congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont."[38][6] (voice in background) "Roger! Carolyne is on the phone!"[71] Many fans believe this line refers to former lead singer Syd Barrett, who suffered a breakdown years earlier.[72] Another interpretation of this is that it foreshadows the progression of Pink (the main character on The Wall) towards insanity and the "funny farm."[71]
"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict" Various animal noises, "Bring back my guitar", "That was pretty avant-garde, wasn't it?" At around 4:20. The animal noises and the first quote are manipulations of Roger Waters' voice[73]. The second quote, which is spoken in a heavy brogue, is guitarist David Gilmour[74].
Plasmatics "Coup d'État" "The brainwashed do not know they are being brainwashed" After the Song "The Damned" (at the end of the album).[75]
Prince "Darling Nikki" (album) "Hello, how are you? I'm fine, 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon", followed by thirty-three "hah"s.[53] At the end of the track. The message is in sharp contrast to the rest of the sexually laden song.[6]
The Prodigy "Full Throttle" "We're going in Full Throttle!"[76] The Full Throttle b-side on One Love (The Prodigy song) does not have the sample reversed but it is reversed on Music for the Jilted Generation. The sample is taken from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Propaganda "Dr. Mabuse" (album) "Warum, warum, warum... Warum schmerzt es... [laughs] Wenn mein Herz den Schlag verpasst?" Heard at 3:28 of the track. English translation for backwards German phrase: "Why does it hurt when my heart misses the beat?"
Queen "Headlong" (album) "Headlong!" [4x] From the very end of the track.
Roger Waters "Perfect Sense" (album) "Julia, however, in the light and visions of the issues of Stanley, we have changed our minds. We have decided to include a backwards message, Stanley, for you and all the other book-burners."[35][77] Waters deliberately recorded a backward message critical of film director Stanley Kubrick, who had refused to let Waters sample breathing sounds from 2001: A Space Odyssey.[78]
Red Dwarf "Backwards" Various messages, including "Oi! Hey! Oi, you robbing bastards, that's our tandem!" and "I'm addressing the one prat in the country who's bothered to get hold of this recording, turn it round, and actually work out the rubbish that I'm saying. What a poor, sad life he's got!" The episode revolves around a return to an Earth where time is running backwards, so most of the dialogue in the show is backward. Most of the backward messages in this episode agree with the subtitled captions explaining them, with a few exceptions.[79]
The Rutles "Piggy in the Middle" "This little piggy went to maaaarket."[80] Found prior to the bridge. As The Rutles are themselves a parody of The Beatles, this parodies the numerous purported backwards messages in Beatles songs.
Silent Hill 2 "The Reverse Will" "Now I lay me down to sleep" / "I pray the Lord my soul to keep" / "If I should die before I wake" / "I pray the Lord my soul to take"[81] A theme running through the entire song; the only lyrics can be heard as the Lord's prayer spoken backwards by Laura.
The Simpsons New Kids on the Blecch "Join the Navy" (repeated in chorus)[82]

The message actually sounds like "Zhŏ-ẽn těh nă-vē".

Bart Simpson, Milhouse Van Houten, Nelson Muntz, and Ralph Wiggum form a boy band, Party Posse, whose music videos contain military imagery and a group of Arabian belly-dancers who recite a seemingly Arab phrase: "Yvan Eht Nioj." It is pronounced as spelled, whereas actually saying "Join the Navy" backwards produces "Ē-vān ŭð nēōjd." The message is part of a subliminal campaign by the Navy, involving brainwashing listeners into joining.
The Sisters of Mercy "Vision Thing" [Canadian Club Mix] "Only the Americans would build a place like this in middle of the jungle... Only the Americans would want to." This is a quotation from the film Apocalypse Now.[83]
Slayer "Hell Awaits" (album) "Join us!" (x45) followed by "Now your soul..." (when the entire segment is played in reverse it precedes the repeated "join us!");[23] "andersom", which is Dutch for "backwards"[84] Whispered (steadily getting louder) during the first 1 minute and 5 seconds of the song
Slipknot "Iowa" (album) "Don't look at me!" By singer Corey Taylor.[85]
Soundgarden "665" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Santa, I love you baby. My Christmas king. Santa, you’re my king. I love you, Santa baby. Got what I need."[4] Obviously parodies the claimed Satanic messages.
Enigma "Camera Obscura" (album) Lyrics beginning with "Cause we are the fighters / Just fighting for our rights / Stand up, join us, modern crusaders alive / We have the power" Sections of Andru Donalds' reversed vocals from "Modern Crusaders", an earlier track in the album.[86][87]
Styx "Heavy Metal Poisoning" (album) "Annuit Cœptis, Novus Ordo Seclorum" ("God has favored our undertakings") In 1981, Styx was accused of putting the backwards message "Satan move through our voices" on the song "Snowblind", from Paradise Theatre. This prompted the band to create the concept album Kilroy Was Here, which deals with an allegorical group called the "Majority for Musical Morality" that outlaws rock music. A sticker on the album cover contains the message, "By order of the Majority for Musical Morality, this album contains secret backward messages"[88]
Sunbow Productions "G.I. Joe" "Anybody listening to this message backwards must be a real dweeb." A reversal of an incantation spoken by Destro.[89]
Tears for Fears "Change" [Extended Version] "You don't give me love." This occurs at 3:41 of the track. That sample is from another Tears for Fears song, "Pale Shelter".
Tenacious D "Karate" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Eat donkey crap."[90][82] This plays at the end of Karate, before the song "Rock Your Socks" begins. "Rock Your Socks" starts with the count off "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6".
They Might Be Giants "Subliminal" "Stare into the subliminal for as long as you can. Stare into the subliminal for as long as you can."[45] This occurs at the end of the song. It is simply the preceding section - including the percussion track - being played in reverse.[91]
Tiger Army "Towards Destiny" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Tiger Army Never Die, Tiger Army Never Die, Tiger Army Never Die. As the last tiger dies, the Ghost Tigers rise. Heed the call of the werecat Transylvania. We fight on the side of fate. Toward destiny, we ascend to it forever. Hail Satan."[92] After the first verse, at around 0:36. Never Die was a song on the band's first LP, and "Tiger Army Never Die" has since become the band's motto. The title of Tiger Army's third release, III: Ghost Tigers Rise was taken from this message as well.
Tool "Intension" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Listen to your mother. Your father is right. Work hard. Stay in school. Listen to your mother. Your father is right. Listen to your mother. Your father is right."[93] Occurs during indecipherable whispering and ambiance beginning at 0:59.
"Weird Al" Yankovic "I Remember Larry" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands."[94][38] At about 3:09 to 3:19.
"Nature Trail to Hell" (album) Template:AudioBackwards "Satan eats Cheez Whiz."[95][82] At around 3:35.
The White Stripes "Walking with a Ghost" "Get out of my mind." During the backwards solo.[96]
