Reverse Speech Research

The following MP3's you will hear are clips taking from certain songs and then played in reverse. Several distinct English phrases can be heard. I am sure that other languages are present, however my primary language is English. I always thought this an interesting phenomenon. (The music playing in the background doesn't have much for reverse lyrics but I think it sounds cool backwards. :))

This isn't just someone recording something backwards, it is actual song lyrics forwards and then when played backwards you have more lyrics.

Some backwards lyrics rhyme. Some speak of something that actually happened to the artist. Some backwards lyrics complement what the forward lyrics are about (this last bit isn't up yet, I need to re-capture the song, when I find it). Some are mystical wierdness.

In some cases I have posted the entire song in reverse so that maybe some of you can catch the rest of what is there. If you do, let me know. You will be credited.

(I will include more commentary later.)
