Phew. *wipes sweat off brow* I thought you guys were never gonna get it! Yes, that is correct, they were all on both DSOT and Echoes (the greatest hits album).

I'm not a good judge of how difficult it will be. You're all smart, you can probably figure it out pretty quick.

No, "My Beloved Wife" is about an elderly man who wants to kill himself when his wife dies because he doesn't want to live without her.
This may be too hard. I don't know if I'll be around to check the thread over the weekend so if someone else wants to post three songs, feel free.

I just thought of a good one today, so I'm going to resurrect this thread. It's a little obscure, but I'm sure there are at least a few people on here that can get it. Here you go:
Imagine by John Lennon Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles
I have faith in you. I'll give you hints or tell you if you get warm.
quote: I'd just like to point out to Alucard that there's no Pink Floyd song called "The Wall".
I know, I know. Sorry. I was hoping no one would require the specific song, but the info I needed to dig up a 3rd song with backwards masking was from the internet, and the site did not specify which song it was. Sorry!

It's on "Empty Spaces", Alucard, and the message is "Congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the Funny Farmhouse." Posts: 5264 | Registered: Jul 2002

Type "Imagine by John Lennon Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles" into Google, and the site's the first hit. Posts: 5264 | Registered: Jul 2002

And Frisco, when I try to copy and paste into Google, it just lets me put in one item. It edits out the rest.

Wow. It's a good thing Clear Channel banned "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Those are some questionable lyrics.
By the way, the answer to my unanswered puzzle was this: they all featured Andy Warhol art on the album cover.

Okay, that was a good enough guess. I don't see anyone on the right track, so I'll spill the beans. If you want to keep guessing, don't read ahead.
Morning has Broken featured piano playing by an undiscovered Rick Wakeman.
Imagine featured drumming by a likewise undiscovered Alan White.
Video Killed the Radio Star was performed by Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes.
All of these people would go on to become members of that pillar of prog-rock and perpetual cheesefest, the band that will not die, Yes.
There's your connection. I'm surprised that, with all the prog fans we've got up in here, no one knew that. Good guesses anyway, though.

By the way, feel free to use google all you want. Although the solution makes more sense than my last one, google isn't very well suited to the problem, so if you can find it there I'll still be very impressed.

I'm almost starting to give up hope that you'll figure this one out. So if you're still frantically working on the solution, don't read any further:
Steely Dan, Soft Machine, and That Subliminal Kid are all names inspired by the work of William S. Burroughs.
