Like on Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35":Rudy said:No, it was just some paranoia that some self-righteous types were dishing out back then. In other words, you can listen to a LOT of songs and hear what you want to hear.

Rudy said:Even more weird (and it works without being stoned ): start Dark Side Of The Moon after the MGM lion's third roar at the beginning of Wizard of Oz. I was a skeptic when I heard about it, but it's really weird how much of the music coincidentally fits the film.
I happen to have a three-speed (33/45/78 ) turntable by Numark with built-in pitch adjuster and the ability to play records both backwards and forwards. You can get it (if you look real hard) in certain high-end audio stores (more likely on the order of, say, Sam Ash in New York where I got mine).jfiedler17 said:And as has been pointed out by music writers over the years, how exactly DO you play a record backwards, anyway?
We actually had a theater here in Austin that played the movie with the Pink Floyd "soundtrack". Anything to make a buck...

On their next album, they addressed the issue with the song "Heavy Metal Poisoning". If I remember right, there are some backward messages on that song to parody the whole issue. I haven't heard the song since high school and that was a long, long time ago.
