ELO Fire on High Backmask

[gilgamess]

My (now) wife is a great fan of this album and when we were playing her cassette of this in her car, after we heard the bit at 0:32 she leaned over to me and said, "Cow juice...cow juice..." That was over twenty years ago and it still cracks me up when I think of that moment. She has a great sense of humor AND she likes football. That's some of the many reasons we have been married for twenty-three years. Cow juice. Cow juice to you all!

I don't hear "isnt" or "is not"

I wanted to see if I could reproduce this with F.L. Studio (Fruity Loops), I think I did quite well.... The timing is off, but I could make it almost perfect if I spent a few more hours on it. ELO Fire On High IS the most evil piece of music I've ever heard, the dudes voice (in the back mask) sounds demonic. I posted a vid response of my remake, WATCH IT!

Reverse it and hear me say 'The music is reversable, but TIME is not.... Turn back... Turn Back..... Turn BACK.... TURN BAAAACK!".

God, that is so creepy...

[JamesGreen321]

This was a deliberate backmask by ELO that they made public, it was to comment on the allegations that were made about them supposedly using backmasking for satanic reasons.

[Clarancecat]

That backwards message has got to be the best prank ever!

[BrokenButHappyGirl]

this is really so clear!it's certainly on purpose....and if you think of the backmasking message it's like it says don't listen to this song co'z time ccan't be reversed if you get my point...

[xifxyouxseexkayx]

man that wasn't to bad, i thought it would say"come come follow saitan with me come,come,come and your soul will be MINE!!! ha,ha ,ha ,ha ,ha ,ha ,."somethig of that sort.

Tipper Gore was enraiged when she had heard of the song "Fire On High" . Jeff Lynne did this to piss those people off when they thought that this song contained a satanic message. The song itself is instermental and used I can remember on a network using it for there sports coverage.

[hendabomb]

They put it in as a joke after they were (falsely) accused of satanic backmasking by Christian groups in the mid-70s. It was basically to piss off Californian lawmakers.

[chiefy2]

When played forwards, the 'turn back' bit sounds like its saying 'madness.... madness'

well iv watch a cupple of these videos and i really think elo was tired of all that stupid crap that was going on at the time and i think they just put this stuff in there songs just to mess with all of the people that were playing all of there music backwords i mean the other one that i just watched said thanks for listening

in this one hes just telling all of those people AHHMAGAD stop playing my music backwords RaWr i mean theres nothing demonic in this its just creepy playing backwords

[Schizophrenia222]

it sounds better backwards than forwards

[whitedwarf13]

it does actually, doesn't it!

[floydian15]

@whitedwarf13  hey what's this "something else" that happened?

[tannerlweber]

they talked about this on 98.5

[blacker13]

to the guy whom made this ELO owned up they purposely put it in,I personally can't belive anyone would think this could be something else!

[whitedwarf13]

i know (the thing at the end is just for effect)

[HATnSANDALS]

It's supposed to be backwards, that's how they made it. :) But in any case- great job!!

[CommercialTalk]

hah how could it not be there

on purpose???

well you know i was talking backwards

wow look what i came up with!

yeah it was planned

[whitedwarf13]

yeah. but the band have never confirmed that i don't think

[na7ed4wg]

tell us what "some" think. i would like to know

[whitedwarf13]

This message has been said to have been put in on puropse to slam the satanic allegations...but...maybe it wasn't on purpose and creepily you get this weird message in it. I personally think it was put in on purpose but i've heard from some people who it probably wasn't. I don't know why they think this bu isn't it a scary thought? that this WAS NOT put in on purpose?

[SnowmanProductions94]

Good job
