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

  • 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

  • it sounded german

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

  • 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:

  • 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

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

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

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