TTT Crazy Diamond was originally on the "Wish You Were Here" album released in 1975. That was the point of the link, as well as to be a pain in the rump in an impish way...
Emperor P,
You are correct! The songs all contain "backwards masking", meaning, when played backwards, there are hidden phrases that are then heard.
Another One Bites the Dust played backwards says "It's fun to smoke marijuana".
Stairway to Heaven played backwards has a few phrases including "There's power in Satan".
The Wall played backwards says "Congratulations! You found the secret message".
Other artists such as The Beatles dabbled in it as well, including current artists like Marilyn Manson. I just couldn't resist considering my name is backwards. Also worth mentioning, I have actually done the first two, but have not actually done the Pink Floyd one...
And heck, I have NO CLUE as to whose turn it is. Can it be a Round Table Discussion?
Oh, I get you now, I (for some unknown reason) thought that when you said SOYCD wasn't originally on DSOT, that you meant DSOT was originally released without SOYCD on it!!
Yes, I am an idiot. But I knew SOYCD was originally released on WYWH. *sigh*

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
