Mushrooms Yes? No!!!

I had made a scientific discovery some time ago, and I thought I might as well share it with the world. Back in college, I had one of those long and boring homeworks I was doing with a friend, so of course we kept stalling. He mentioned that the song “Stairway to Heaven” has a part which talks about Satan if you play it backwards. So I checked it out, and it does sound like Satan is mentioned. I eventually isolated what words sounded like Satan backwards, and it is “Yes” (it helps if there is a sort of ‘n’ sound before it, which can happen when singing). That explained to me why so many people seem to think they hear stuff about Satan when songs are played backwards.
So, that got me thinking, what lyrics would you need to have a song, when played backwards, tells people to worship Satan. The only problem was that all I could find that sounded like “worship” when played backwards was “mushrooms”. I did find an extremely innocuous phrase that is truly evil, though.
“Life is good.” backwards is “Go to hell.”
If you don’t believe, just use the basic Microsoft sound recorder and check it out. I still haven’t found a good song to trick people into worshiping Satan, but, if you ever hear the lyrics, “Yes, mushrooms, and life is good,” be wary.
Forwards.
Backwards.

  1. n”Worship” backwards = “pish-wrrr” = pitcher/picture?
    Yes, picture eye! …Hmmm, sort of…
    Google “reverse speech”; you’ll get a bunch of websites who believe that we all unconsciously use reverse speech that tells “the truth” about what we’re actually saying. And a bunch of websites pointing out how it’s actually a “park fo’ dole”. 😉

  2. I have always though that you were such a metaphorical scientist. Who, really, would listen backward a music to try giving it some understandable sense except YOU. From your passed years at school until now Frank, I think you are and still be a teenager. I hope that the backwards does not mean for you that you are going to hell, because still life is good.
    You know what, forget the sciences and play it forwards without the mushrooms. It’s bad to health, and it makes you crazy.

  3. I fool with the sound recorder sometimes when i get bored. I found that saying “hello” backwards sounds like “hole.” But, i wanted it to say “asshole.” So i had to say like “hello sss aah” to get it to say “asshole” when played backwards. Try it! it works! Or you can say stuff and listen to what they sound like when played backwards so you know what backwards sound sounds like the word. It usually sounds like another word. Or jibberish. I doubt it that most of these messages are intended though.

  4. Stairway to Heaven…..

    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.

    “Oh, here’s to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He’ll give you (give you) 666. There’s a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.
