The following is an incomplete list of backmasked messages in music.

Artist Source Message Comments
Ash "Evil Eye" (album) "She's giving me the evil eye, suck Satan's cock."[1] Said at the beginning of the song. Lead singer Tim Wheeler remarked that "Yeah, we did hide a secret message in 'Evil Eye', but it's not that bad..."[2]
At the Drive-In "300 MHz" (EP) "...your enamel / made no reflection in our mirror / coughing up the coffins / cotton candy coated teeth / these pockets were clinching all filled with teeth / amnesia proletariat / in the unlikely event / that sarcasm is an unfitting dress / amnesia proletariat / amnesia proletariat / amnesia / coughing up the coffins / cotton candy coated teeth / these pockets were clinching / all filled with teeth / sharpened on the fucking hides of men..."[3] Heard by reversing the song starting at the 94-second mark. The message is composed of rearranged verses from earlier in the song.
The B-52s "Detour Thru Your Mind" (album) "I buried my parakeet in the backyard. Oh no, you're playing the record backward. Watch out, you might ruin your needle."[4] A reversed message in Fred Schneider's voice, starting at the 4:35 mark. Quoted in Patterson (2004): "The B-52s used the same approach at subliminal humor by placing a backward track on 'Detour Through Your Mind' from the LP Bouncing off the Satellites. When the track is reversed, the listener can hear Fred Schneider’s voice saying, 'I buried my parakeet in the backyard. Oh no, you’re playing the record backward. Watch out, you might ruin your needle.'"[4]
The Beatles "Rain" "...the sun shines. Raaain. If the rain comes, they run and hide their heads"[5] Gibberish occurs during the fade-out (accompanying music is not reversed), actually sections of the vocal melody. This was one of the earliest instances of backmasking. The deliberate reversal was repeatedly acknowledged by John Lennon and others.[6]
"Free as a Bird" (album) "Turned out nice again." Can be heard during the song's fade-out. Was commented upon by many newspapers after the album's release in 1995 and the discovery of the message by BBC Radio 5 Live producer Simon Clifford.[7][8] Paul McCartney said, "We even put one of those spoof backwards recordings on the end of the single for a laugh, to give all those Beatles nuts something to do."[9]
Beck "Loser" (album) "Soy un perdedor. I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me"[3] (entire chorus reversed) After the last time Beck says "I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me," and before the vocal "I'm a driver, I'm a winner."
Boards of Canada "1969" (album) "David Koresh" In the sentence "Although not a follower of David Koresh, she's a devoted Branch Davidian." The rest of the sentence is not backmasked.[10]
Bloodhound Gang "Lift Your Head Up High (And Blow Your Brains Out)" (album) "Devil child, wake up and eat Chef Boyardee Beefaroni" (4x)[3] This message was included as a response to the accusations of backwards messages in songs.[11]

Butthole Surfers "Pepper" (album) "I don't mind the sun sometimes, the images it shows. I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes. Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies. You never know just how you look through other people's eyes." Between the second chorus and the third verse.[13]
Cake "Jesus Wrote a Blank Check" (album) "Don't forget to breathe in." This occurs after the song ends (about 3:06 of the track).[14]
Choking Victim "Hate Yer State" (album) "You think you're alive, motherfucker? You're just the walking fucking dead, you're a fucking sheep, stepping on my back to stay alive. West Coast, East Coast, you're all just a bunch of fucking fools, you and the rest of this greedy fucking world. Kill yourself! So stay in school, say no to drugs, oh yeah! Hail Satan! Good night boys and girls, pleasant dreams." At the beginning of the song.[15][16]
Jay Chou "You Can Hear" (album) "Only you can hear it" Following the same line forwards. This is done intentionally, so if you play it backwards, "only you can hear it".[17]
Chumbawamba "Mary, Mary" (album) A woman recites the Hail Mary.[12] "Mary" recites the Hail Mary.[18][19]
Coldplay "❍ (Music of the Spheres II)" (album) "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Music of the Spheres! Remember, everyone is an alien somewhere." Each line is individually reversed and placed in reverse order as to say "Everyone is an alien somewhere / remember / Spheres / of the / Music / Welcome to / Ladies and gentlemen."[20]

Electric Light Orchestra "Down Home Town" (album) "Face the mighty waterfall" (2x)[29][30] At the beginning of the track. This album was released in 1975 following allegations of a hidden message in 1974's Eldorado, and was a satirical response.[31]
"Fire on High" (album) "The music is reversible, but time... (violin note) is not. Turn back! Turn back! Turn back! Turn back!"[30][32] Reversal of a deep mumbling spoken by drummer Bev Bevan. Another response to the Eldorado controversy.[31]

It's seriously gonna be fun*"[29] Contains many backwards and hidden messages, both visual and auditory.[34] It was a further response to the Satanic backmasking controversy.[31] The British release contains a parody warning label about the backward messages, but this was deleted by CBS Records for the United States version.[33]
Missy Elliott "Work It" (album) "I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it." and "Watch the way Missy like to take it backwards"[35] Reversed version of the preceding line. The "Watch the way Missy like to take it backwards" message can be heard in the middle of the second verse.

Five Iron Frenzy "Get Your Riot Gear" (EP) "Brad is dead, let's kill Brad"[3] The backwards message references Nathanael "Brad" Dunham, who was missing at a concert. As people began to spread the rumor that he was dead, the band jokingly included this message in the song.
Franz Ferdinand "Michael" (album) "She's worried about you, call your mother." Right before the second verse. A reference to bassist Bob Hardy's homesickness during the recording of the album. The band "wanted to do the exact opposite [of Satanic backmasking], put the most positive thing we could think of as a backwards message."[39]

Nelly Furtado "Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)" (album) "Oh my God! Descending to the 13th floor, 14, 16, we’re on the 11th floor, descending to the 12th floor. Oh my God! Descending to the 13th floor, 14, 16, we’re on the 11th floor, descending to the 12th floor"[42] Occurs at the very end of the song, after the breakdown.

Iron Maiden "Still Life" (album) "Hmm, hmmm, what ho sed de t'ing wid de t'ree bonce. Don't meddle wid t'ings you don't understand", followed by a belch. Found between the songs "The Trooper" and "Still Life", on Piece of Mind. It is an inebriated Nicko McBrain (the drummer) doing his "famous" impression of Idi Amin. It translates to the following: "'What ho,' said the monster with the three heads, 'don't meddle with things you don't understand.'"[45][48]
The message was included by the band in response to allegations of Satanism that were surrounding them at the time.[49]
The J. Geils Band "No Anchovies, Please" (album) "It doesn't take a genius to know the difference between chicken shit and chicken salad."[30] Reversed speech heard after the line "Upon awakening, she finds herself in a strange, foreign speaking nation."[50]

"Announcement Service Public" "You should brush your teeth, and you should wash your hands." The only lyric to this interlude. Heard once at around 0:25 to 0:35, and four times from 1:45 to end. The title is reversed because you have to reverse the song as well to get the message from it.[57]
Marilyn Manson "Tourniquet" (album) "This is my lowest point of vulnerability"[15] At the opening of the track.
"Revelation #9" Various messages. For example, "You are on the other side now... there ain't no going back once you been here, brothers and sisters... there ain't no going back."[58] Appears as the B-side for the single "Get Your Gunn".

On their Great White North album, the comic duo explain on this track that there's a "secret message" to be played backwards that "will give you clues to what really happened."[60] The message is preceded by an invitation to play the next part backwards "like you do with some other albums."
Mew "New Terrain" (album) The entire song played backwards reveals another song titled "Nervous".[61] Slightly audible.
Mindless Self Indulgence "Backmask" (album) "Respect your parents." / "Clean your room." / "Do your homework." / "Don't stay out too late." / "Eat your vegetables." / "Put away your toys." / "Don't sit too close to the TV." / "Take the dog for a nice walk." / "Hurry up! Get dressed for church." / "Who needs me to suck their dick?" / (at the end of the song) "Don't listen to this song."[3] Clearly audible reversed speech by singer Jimmy Urine; starts at 2:10 into the song and lasts until the end. The song speaks degradingly about angsty teenagers who look for backwards messages in music, and contains the lyrics "Play that record backwards / Here's a message yo for the suckas / Play that record backwards / And go fuck yourself."
Moby "Machete" (album) "I have to say goodbye."[62] Appears midway through the song.
Motörhead "Nightmare/The Dreamtime" (album) "Now tell me, about your miserable little lives. I do not subscribe to your superstitious, narrow minded flights* of paranoia.

Why is it..." [Words followed by a * are difficult to make out, and may be incorrect][12] Various sections of the song. Reputedly a message to the Parents Music Resource Center.[63]
Mr. Bungle "Egg" (album) "Rotting from the inside / over-incubated by the heat of fear and love / the self's coagula[ted]"[64] These are the lyrics from the start of the track, although the backwards version is a different take.
Nevermore "Sentient 6" (album) "Seven, seven, seven. I am the bringer of the end, fear me, I am the beast that is technology."[65] Occurs at 4:43.
Oasis "D'You Know What I Mean?" (album) "All my people right here, right now... d'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah..."[66] Heard throughout some parts of the song, including the third verse.

Pilot "You're Devotion" "Oh, oh, oh / It's magic, you know / Never believe it's not so / Och aye! / Oh, oh, oh / It's magic..." Appears during the song's fade-out. The backmasked message is the chorus of Pilot's earlier song, "Magic". Bassist David Paton remarked: "We always meant to have something else there and after the success of 'Magic' the idea just came up in the studio for all of us to sing the chorus of 'Magic' on the fade. I think you might even hear an 'Och aye!' in there as well."[71]
Pink Floyd "Empty Spaces" (album) "Hello, Looker. Congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont." (voice in background) "Roger! Carolyne is on the phone!" "Ok"[72][73] The start and end of this line are difficult to hear, and it is often shortened to simply "...congratulations. You've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont."[5][32] Many fans believe this line refers to former lead singer Syd Barrett, who suffered a breakdown years earlier.[72] Another interpretation of this is that it foreshadows the progression of Pink (the main character on The Wall) towards insanity and the "funny farm".[74]
Plasmatics "Coup d'État" (album) "Consensus Programming is dangerous to your health. The brainwashed do not know they are being brainwashed" After the song "The Damned", at the end of the album.[75]

"Subliminal" (album) "Stare into the subliminal for as long as you can (subliminal) / Stare into the subliminal for as long as you can (stare into the subliminal)"[82] The final lyrics recorded backwards, at the end of the song.
Tiger Army "Towards Destiny" (album) "Tiger Army never die, Tiger Army never die, Tiger Army never die. As the last tiger dies, the Ghost Tigers rise. Heed the call of the werecat Transylvania. We fight on the side of fate. Toward destiny, we ascend to it forever. Hail Satan."[83] After the first verse, at around 0:36.
Tool "Intension" (album) "Listen to your mother. Your father is right. Work hard. Stay in school. Listen to your mother. Your father is right. Listen to your mother. Your father is right."[84] Occurs during indecipherable whispering and ambiance beginning at 0:59.
Twenty One Pilots "Nico and the Niners" (album) "Renounce vialism. You will leave Dema and head true east. We are banditos." (0:06–0:16) "We are banditos" (3:32–3:35) 0:06–0:16, turned up one pitch that sounds like Josh Dun.[85]

Steve Vai "Whookam" (album) An extended message, beginning with "There is a god; the universe is not without a creator, sustainer and protector. He is the ocean of bliss."[86] Entire track.
The Waitresses "The Smartest Person I Know" (EP) "Anyone who worries about subliminal messages on pop records is a fool. Everyone else have a nice day." Can be heard in the middle of the song, between the third and fourth verses.
Roger Waters "Perfect Sense, Part I" (album) "Julia, (pause) however (pause – the second thunder in normal direction), in the light and visions of the issues of Stanley, (pause) we changed our mind. (pause) We have decided to include a backward message. (pause – the first thunder is in normal direction) Stanley, (pause) for you, (pause) and for all the other book (short pause) burners."[30] Waters deliberately recorded a backwards message critical of film director Stanley Kubrick, who had refused to let Waters sample breathing sounds from 2001: A Space Odyssey.[87] The message is climaxed by a loud, unintelligible shriek.

Frank Zappa "Hot Poop" (album) "Better look around before you say you don't care, / Shut your fucking mouth about the length of my hair, / How would you survive / If you were alive, / Shitty little person?" This was done by Zappa, along with The Mothers of Invention, in 1968. Appears on the original vinyl record. These lines were cut from a different track, "Mother People", and replaced with less offensive lyrics. But the original lyrics were recorded backwards into the end of "Hot Poop", though with the word "fucking" mostly cut out.[91]
"Ya Hozna" (album) Various messages, including "I am the heaven / I am the water / Ich bin deine Ritze / Ich bin deine Ritze und Schlitze", "You're a lonely little girl / But your Mommy & your Daddy don't care", "I'm like reach / I'm like squat / I'm like roll / Repeat / Like roll over / Like thrust / Okay, like pull / Like push / I'm like... / Okay, like... blow / I'm blow",[82] "You're never too old", and "Ich bin hier / Und du bist mein Sofa"[92] The vocals on "Ya Hozna" song are all backwards, although the backing track and guitar are mostly forwards. The vocals are made up of distorted outtakes from "Valley Girl", "Lonely Little Girl", and "Sofa #2".[93] The lyrics sheet reads, "backwards vocal — you figure it out".[33] Zappa may have recorded the song as a response to the early 1980s backmasking controversy.[94]
