Yeah, that has to be in the top 10 of thread titles I’ve read the most and still misread every time. It’s not quite “horizontal butt ~~on~~ holes”, but it’s up there.

An actual famous (back in the day) singer, singing backward!
An unusual vocal piece which, played backward, actually sounds cool!
I discovered this years ago when I was a young child and had one of those old toy tape recorders that could play stuff backwards. Fast forward to the modern Internet and YouTube era, and I find that someone else has discovered the same, and put it up on YouTube even! GMTA!

[Has “literally” literally changed its dictionary meaning?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-literally-changed-its-dictionary-meaning/962052/19)
No, it had a meaning added, which is literally changed but only in a metaphorical sense.
