Interesting.....I would take the original song off the cd, find this part and play it backwards, but thats too much trouble for me

This stuff again.
One site I found reportedly has all the lyrics backwards, but I don't know for sure.http://web.stargate.net/zeppelin/ifmtl/ifmtl3.html :

Oh ask me of the wars of Beelzebub

Oh, I fear it, horrible demon
Ah, shall I go along all right?
I'll make it mine, I'll reach ya
Oh demon, hey do ya feel me?
Oh an eternity with the demon
Ah, it's not over when you die
Ah, the Ultimate Opponent!
Ah, this time there is no winnin'
My holy wand will fail me

Ah, Oh, they won't get me cause I live in church now
Hey look at that football player he attack a lady
When I hear the serpent holler
And as the shaky wall fall falls down ain't much to help destroy

Oh, don't you give me that

Oh, here's to my sweet Satan
There was a little child who wore a great big laugh with glorious Satan
Did you hear me, Lord? I first give to Satan
And, in a little school I shout, in the middle of a show,

"First Power is Satan!"

Wo wo wo

There was cat burglar, bit off my leg
I lay in true struggle, torn up
Another year I dont feel the same
The heater broke down in flame
A long, long crawl lead me to a better place to rest
Ah, I hear it too, "There is no escape, too"
But even God fears the ultimate plan
He hears to soon the the calling to lie down, go down to sleep
The Cosmic TV's gone bad, I lose the Light of any time to leave I had

Gonna do, I'm Going to do

Favor, Oh Power of all on top mountain hidden under a moment
Look up at me, at me, and thee
After my only wish replenished is all used up, I saw it happening
Give me an answer, all I see that we moved
Dont thank me, Easter Woman, who although followed me

What's that? I see you - dying

There was an eager picnic towards another demon-loft
Don't you hear me asking?

Just crap to make the little kiddies scared, if you ask me.

And anyway, in my shool's library, there's a copy of the 4th album available for listening on turntables. I honestly thought about doing it before, but thought it was too risky. You could damage the needle, the record, and the turntable. Plus, I couldn't possibly think of spinning a record for more than a minute at a steady rate. My wrists would just crack.

Cool stuff. Stairway's 'forward' lyrics are much better, though.. lol

Yeah, it souds like you hear the word Satan a couple times. Nothing to take seriously though, just one of those weird coincidences.

Professor S · 02-07-2004, 02:05 PM

All this crap started because Jimmy Page was fascinated with the occult and studied Aliester Crowley, who was a known figure in the occult world (but ultimately just a rich, spoiled dabbler).

Listen, there are no hidden messages of satanic verses in Led Zeppelin's music. They don't exist except for in the minds of paranoid bible beating conspiracy theorists. I don't expect these rumors to ever cease, thouh, as it is far to easy to manipulate the sounds of lyrics being sung backwards into what you want them to say.

Yeah, I agree. It was a little wierd, but probably just coincidence.

Yugi Starwind · 02-07-2004, 06:06 PM

well, I recorded the MP3 onto audio tape backwarsd, and swore i heard "satan", and "beelzebub" in the clip, but it was most likely just me hearing things.

Perfect Stu · 02-07-2004, 06:58 PM

it's such a good song, I couldn't care less what the lyrics were forwards or backwards...although the forward lyrics are generally fantastic

'CUZ YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WORDS HAVE TWO MEANINGS

Dylflon · 02-07-2004, 08:41 PM

I actually got a good laugh out of this. I don't believe Led Zeppelin to be satanic in any way. But I found this amusing none the less.

Dyne · 02-07-2004, 08:58 PM

Anyone who thinks this makes me scared.

YOU KNOW THEY PLAY IT THE CORRECT WAY FOR A REASON. If we all started worshipping this "Satan" rogue, then maybe we WOULD play all our music backwards. Or something.

thatmariolover · 02-09-2004, 01:18 AM

Well if you're looking to hear Satan, then you're going to hear Satan.

I mean, the guy obviously sets you up to listen for it. And then you run into something that sounds remotely like it and you're like, 'OMG! THERE IT IS!'

Eck. Things like this make me sick. This and trying to predict the future with the Bible. They just freakin bug the Hell right out of me.

DimHalo · 02-09-2004, 11:04 AM

I think it is funny to listen for that kind of stuff. But when you consider that there are actually people who believe that the music is going to make us all start worshipping satan through subliminal messages, its just crazy. Anyway, its still funny...

mickydaniels · 02-09-2004, 11:27 AM

And it's always funny how people usually come up with different words listening to the same thing backwards.

I'm just surprised you didn't also come up with a clip of Hotel California with its lyrics forwards and backwards.

Dylflon · 02-09-2004, 11:36 AM

Nice double postage. You need twice the amount of stamps.

Link us to the Hotel California one. Is it as funny?
