![]() ![]() ![]() Then playing the recorded tape ('A' side turns into 'B' side and vice-versa)in a normal player would play it backwards. You could play a standard tape backwards or copy from another tape/album onto a blank tape. I used to record albums or other tapes onto a cassette deck I altered by inverting the playback head. For instance ELO's Evil Woman says (instead of eeeeevil woman)Devil walk with me. I found alot of neat reverse masking when I was in high school in the late 70's, early 80's. It does take some creative ears but it's still fun. ![]() The part in the middle it sounds like 'Hey! Get stoned!' Try it you'll hear it. It says 'It's fun to smoke marihjuana' (Don't laugh too hard, that's the music in between) 'it's fun to smoke marijuana, marijuana, marijuana, it's fun to smoke marijuana. Halfway through, the band sings, I hope you take this the wrong way / And misinterpret what I say / Rewind and let me reverse / Backwards like Judas Priest first did. Also copy the part in the middle a bit before and after the 'reversed' piano chord. Joel performed this song at the Grammy Awards ceremony in 1994, where it was up for Record of the Year (it lost to Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You').Joel, backed by a large gospel choir on a set designed to look like a church, used the false ending about two-and-a-half minutes into the song as an opportunity to make a point: instead. Its the rare backwards-message song that starts out evil, instead of waiting for you to ruin your needle before breaking out the Satan. If you can get the cd, copy (with windows recorder then reversing with menu options) the part starting when he sings 'another one bites the dust' ( I know many will argue with me I'm not saying it's ALL that intentional).
