The Discovery of Reverse Speech
In 1983 David Oates (my father), was running a half way house for street kids. At that time a religious fundamentalist was preaching that if you play rock n'roll music backwards you would hear the devil speaking. Well Dad thought that was a load of rubbish, so straight away he grabbed his tape machine (which had a reverse play mechanism) and played the song 'Stairway to Heaven' by Led Zeppelin, to prove to the kids the preacher was wrong. When the last words of the song were played "And he's buying a stairway to heaven", it reversed to say "Play backwards hear words sung". I'm sure they were all a little scared to hear that! A Tribute to Michael - Michael John Oates - to read more W I K I on Reverse Speech Reverse Speech Library - with very interesting reversals!
