[...] I love audio pareidolia: listening to something and hearing words and patterns in it that aren’t really there. I’ve posted about it before. [...]

No one will ever beat Billy and the Boingers/Deathtongue’s reverse masking which said “Respect your parents” and “Do your homework.” Bill the Cat nearly died of embarrassment.

Matt,

Do you ever think that if god does indeed exist he is actually going to accept people who blindly go along with something that to common sense is completely non nonsensical. Surly a higher power is going to respect someone who actually thinks about what religion actually is and doesn’t resort to Pascals wager. I think that if there is a god he is accepting people into his kingdom that don’t believe in him.

John Paradox says: “Jack Hagerty:
Steve P. says: “Paul is a dead man.”
You mean “I buried Paul” or “Turn me on, dead man.”

No, one of the ‘reverse masking’ was supposedly:
Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him.

(Good memory, eh?)”

Yup, I’d forgotton that one.

“Turn me on, dead man” is the reversed BMI test voice at the beginning of “Revolution #9,” and “I buried Paul” was the slowed-down voice at the end of “Strawberry Fields” (Lennon later said he was saying “cranberry sauce” which was slowed down 40-50%).

Pat, if it is indeed a delusion, I have lost nothing but time. But if God is alive, then you’ve lost it all. Something to think about.

Example that always comes to my mind…

Living Colour, “Cult of Personality”, the end of the song contains the refrain,

“I’m the cult of -”

about a dozen times. Someone in college sang over the line about 5 times,

“I’m a tow truck”

For the rest of the repetitions, I clearly heard that instead of what I new the line was. Now I think of it every time I hear the song, too.
