> [@Si\_Amigo](#): > > Starts with satanic backwords vocals They definitely _sound_ creepy, but Jeff Lynne had put them in, as a joke, in response to criticism from some Christian groups, about “satanic backwards messaging” on an earlier ELO song. In “Fire on High,” when played backwards, the backwards lyrics say, “The music is reversible, but time is not! Turn back…turn back…turn back…” 😃 ---
