Sympathy For The Devil

Via Ghost of a Flea

Oh here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give you give you 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan

I never paid much mind to the whole "Satanic message backward-masking" controversy. First, there's no evidence that people comprehend, or are impelled to act on, "subliminal messages."

Second, there's no shortage of overtly Satanic lyrics in some genres of rock music.

Third, it's not true that if you play "Revolution 9" off the Beatles' White Album backwards, it sounds like the car crash that Paul McCartney supposedly died in.

It sounds like a car crash if you play it forwards, which was the usual case when Yoko got her sticky little fingers on things.

But this really is kind of spooky. It's taken from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven" and you can listen to it here.
