That Static X thing was interesting. Nice find! Unfortunately, the Nightwish one doesn't appear to be up yet, but that's probably YouTube's fault.

I read about this phenomenon online just a couple weeks ago, and it's kind of got an interesting history, actually. It's funny, because with most songs, you can listen to it backwards and hear nothing at all, but then if you see the supposed backward lyrics, it sounds very close to what you are reading. This is because the human brain is very good at picking up patterns, and even in the noise of reverse lyrics, it's possible to find a pattern if you're looking for it, a pattern which sounds similar to another sentence.

Funny enough, there was a huge controversy in the 80s over the issue of "backmasking", or recording lyrics backwards on your album. Religious groups claimed that the human mind subliminally decodes these backward lyrics and acts on them (totally absurd), and they even got some bills started in state congresses to cause albums to have to have "This album contains backmasked content" warning labels on albums that had it. Of course, most of the alleged backmasked material was coincidental, but those zealots sure had some fun with it anyways .

If you're interested in songs that supposedly have backwards content, check out this site: jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm. It has a cool little flash app that allows you to hear the song forwards and backwards, with or without the backwards lyrics.

Lol, yeah. I use the audacity as well to get those. I mainly just listen to allot of songs till I find something. xD

I heard the Dead to the World one now... that was pretty good. I think the 3rd and 4th ones were a bit of a stretch, but still a cool discovery.
