Satanic message in "Hotel California"

No, I don’t actually think it’s real, but this site has some hilarious examples of “subliminal messages” hidden in popular songs - which can only be heard if they’re played backwards.

My favorite, by a long shot, is this clip from Hotel California. Supposedly he’s saying:

“Yeah Satan, he organized, oh, he organized his own religion. Yeah, when he knows he should, how nice it was delicious, he puts it in a vet he fixes it for his son which he gives away.”

OK, that’s really stupid, and it also doesn’t make sense. The main reason I’m posting it is - musically, it sounds better than the actual song. I’m totally making a hip-hop beat and sampling this. It’s just asking to be sampled.

When listening to the clip you provided, I myself cannot hear anything remotely resembling that quote. But it does sound like it would be extremely cool as a sample, so my vote is “hell yeah, have at it, and post us a link to hear it when you are done”.

Wow, the power of hearing what you want to hear is astonishing. Believing in satan must be a real downer. Sounds like a reggae song with unintelligible lyrics to me.

Shame that its a .ram file. I refuse to install any player from that company.

Wait . . . if you read the quote while listening you can totally hear it, but the quote makes no sense.

Here you can hear the same thing on youtube (link here)

Actually you can hear the whole entire song backwards here and it sounds pretty damn good for a song played backwards.

Thanks for the youtube link. That is funny as all get out. I’m literally in tears from fits of giggling. My faves:

And, yeah, some of the backward quotes are startlingly clear. In three part harmony.

And BTW, who buried Paul? :smiley:

I thought all that backmasking was bullshit, but the lines “Serve me this tiny n****r”, “Now fuck all that Star Wars”, and “Yeah, satan had a birthday party, nicest Oprah went” convinced me that it’s definitely a satanic message. There could be no other source.
