It seems like I posted this before, but I'm not sure. Even if I did, its so damn cool its worth a repeat anyway. Here we have two videos of the same song, by the same group. But oh, how very different they are. For the first one, let's harken back to an earlier time. A time of joy and innocence. Or was it so innocent? Listen carefully to the lyrics and music of the Beatles Obladi Oblada, from The Beatles (White Album).
Yep, good wholesome innocent fun. Until you listen to the song in REVERSE that is. It's not until then that you realize the nonsensical phrase "Obladi" is actually an anagram for-DIABLO. In other words, the Devil.
So what all will we hear in this wholesome, innocent song played in reverse?
Well, so there you have it. Whether this is an intentional case of backward masking, or a matter of subconsciously induced reversed speech in the person of Paul MacCartney (the lead singer and composer of the tune)some of the lyrics heard seem to clearly match the words displayed on the screen. A few parts aren't as clear and might be open to other interpretations.
One thing though is very clear. This might be the first and only case where a song played in reverse is actually better than when played as originally intended. I think its hilarious, actually.
