They Might Be Giants - Dr. Worm Backwards Singing

[raugust18431]

Did you ever hear John Sid perform "On Earth My Nina?" It's a backward version of "Thunderbird."

[culwin]

John Linnell, I'm real happy for you and Imma let you finish, but the dwarf from Twin Peaks is the best backwards talker of all time. OF ALL TIME

[lasarack]

it sounded german

[TheAbominableRedhead]

Aww, he sounds like he has a cold. D:

[HappyMuffin]

The midget on Twin Peaks can speak backwards very well...

[JRFproductions]

read the info, Its FAKE backwards singing!

[anubite001]

is it really fake? John has 1 backwards song... On Earth My Nina, if you play it backwards, it's the lyrics of Thunderbird.

[JRFproductions]

Yeah, on that he TRIED, and I've heard those both. But if you really play this backwards, it doesn't sound like it .

[anubite001]

Hmm, well I don't know, playing it backwards you can hear a few words like 'thunderbird', so it's not a total failure. I don't know of anyone who can sing backwards any better :9

Point is, until someone can play this in a media player backwards, I don't think you can say it's 'fake' backwards singing

[JRFproductions]

I did. I used audacity and reversed it. And its not the right thing backwards. BUT its still cool he figured out how to make it sound like it would be. And I wasn't talking about Thunderbird being bad, it actually sound good. I was talking about this [c:

[17Alicia]

Ok, I recorded that, and reversed it. It doesn't realy sound the same... But I still LOVE this song!!!!

[FleaMaster69]

this is awesome... this only seems weird because he's the first to do it...

i love tmbg... awesome...

[UndecendedTesticals]

Creepy.

[princessdawg312]

cool. love this song and now also when its sung backwords!

[oskrtg]

as far as singing backwards goes, if you listen to the song "On Earth My Nina" by tmbg - it also sounds like backward singings sometimes - play it backward and it comes out as "Thunderbird"

[fenixdown22]

that's really cool

[Forerunnerrocker]

funny thing is, hes not really singing backwards, i used Cool Edit Pro 2, and recorded him singing from the speaker output into it and reversed it and its gibberish

[ObiVince]

wow anybody could see that he wasent acctualy talking backwards he just made it sound likes hes singing backward TARD

[polishkuger09]

it doesn't matter.... it sounds funny thats what he was going for... he wasn't trying to be serious... DO THEY EVER TRY TO BE SERIOUS?

[shadowman22122]

One thing they do is listen to the words backwards, sing that, then reverse THAT, and live they just pretend to sing it

backwards/forwards/back.

[fjafjan]

wow, he is so not the first person to do that, really, it's very easy 8-)

[TeaDeeKay]

When I said "patented", I didn't mean for it to be taken literally. :)

[keenthesaurus]

Sounds like German.

[TeaDeeKay]

Tastes like chicken!

[keenthesaurus]

Right you are.
