<div class="IPBDescription">By backwards, i mean litterally</div>I think alot of us know about the... uh... incident the beatles had with their hit song "I am the walrus" where at the end of the song, if played backwards, you can hear the people saying "paul is dead, paul is dead".

The Beatles seem to have a habbit of putting wierd things in their songs that can be heard if you played them backwards, for instance Revolution Number Nine. When played forwards, its just wierd, when played backwards, you can hear tons of stuff, and its scary.

For example near the end (end as in end when played forwards) you can hear people talking and screaming and stuff, you can hear choirs singing too, there's an opera singer in there as well, violins playing is heard often, at some points even an orchastra playing a song, and I believe somewhere you can hear a beatles song being played. Its wierd, I dont have time to post the MP3 here right now, but if you get a chance try to DL it, or DL the normal one and reverse it with a sound editing program.

    Now, I'm all about The Beatles, and everything to do with The Beatles, but yah, this news is older than just about everyone on these boards!  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    Interesting note: listen to Rain.  It's the earliest song of theirs with backwards lyrics trhat I've heard.

    I love Beatles music. I hate most the music made after about 1980. Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton are some of my favourite artists. The Who, Oasis, The Beatles and a few others are my favourite bands.

    It seems that 90% of the music nowadays entirely consists of someone talking with a drum machine going in the background. Since when is that music?
