I was just wondering, do you any of you guys know some songs that have deliberate backmasking and hidden messages?, here are some worth mentioning.

"Dinner at Deviants Pallace" by Cradle of Filth - Not as much of a song as a collection of ambient noises, there is a very creepy voice that seems to spout nothing but jibberish, but if you play it backwards you will come to find that the creepy voice when played backwards is a recital of the lords prayer...Ironicaly in old Salem, if one was able to recite the lords prayer backwards it was a sign of being a witch, knowing Cradle of Filth this probably wasn't a coincidence.

"Staralfur" by Sigur Ros - A art piece that was made intentionaly to sound exactly the same if you play it backwards.

"Empty Spaces" by Pink Floyd - When played backwards there is an intentional message that says "...congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont", a reference to Syd Barrett.

"Revolution 9" by The Beatles - Not a song but a avant garde experiement, a collection of abient sounds, when played backwards you will hear a whole bunch of weird ****, there are said to be hidden messages including "turn me on, dead man, turn me on, dead man..."

"Darling Nicky" by Prince - A intentional backwards line that says "Hello, how are you? I'm fine, 'cause I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming, coming soon"

Anyway there are many songs that are aledged to have backwards messages but they haven't been proven and could easly be just a coincidence, these include...

"Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears - There are said to be many hidden messages when played backwards, including "sleep with me, I'm not too young," "smoke marijuana," "we love it," "Satan is an enemy of Christ," and other sayings.

"Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen - There is a section when played backwards it sounds like "It's fun to smoke marijuana."

"Im So Tired" by The Beatles - If you play it backwards there is suposedly this message... "Paul is dead, man, miss him, miss him...This gave way to the famous "Paul is dead" rumour that Maccartney died in a serious car crash in 1966 and the Paul Maccartney we know today is just a imposter. =(

"Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin - Though i doubt there to be any credibility in this myth, it is said that there is a whole verse that when played backwards is a satanic message, "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a 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" is claimed by some to sound like "Oh, here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan ... He'll give those with him six six six (666); there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan." when played backwards.

And finaly...

"Better by You Better Than Me" by Judas Priest - The infamous song that put Priest on trial in 1990 when the song suposedly led to the attempted suicide of two nevada kids in 1985, one died and another survived and accused Priest of putting backwards messages in their songs that encourage listeners to commit suicide, However the only message they found were the words "Do It" which were not specific enough to prove anything and Priest was soon aquited of all charges, Priest members had since been quoted of saying that if they ever did put hidden messages in their songs they wouldn't be suicide related since killing their fans would be counterproductive, they said they would rather add a message like "Buy more of our records."

Anyway these are just some of the ones i know, share some of your own.
