When I was a senior in high school there was a big to-do over the whole "satanic backmasking" thing, in which songs such as Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" are supposed to prove to be praises to "my sweet satan", and yeah, you have to admit, if you've heard it, that it does sound eerily like "The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is satan. He'll give those with him 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad satan..."
Who knew how grammatically challenged the Prince of Darkness turned out to be?
But the trick was figuring out how to play the record backwards (as most of us didn't have tapes).
Now, thanks to Macromedia Flash technology, it is as easy as clicking a mouse to carefully examine the satanic passage in the song and make up your mind as to it's hellish origin. Just click HERE: Jeff Milner's Backmasking Site.
While you're there you can also get a sample of similar hi-jinks by the Beatles, Queen, the Eagles, Britney Spears, Vanilla Ice, Prince and more.
Let me know if you think the devil is really behind it all.
