Answer 1

Its called "Backmasking". Here is a helpful site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking

Another one is http://www.talkbackwards.com/ where you can play songs backwards and listen for yourself.

One funny site to hear songs backwards is : http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm the Britney Spears one is great! Good luck in your class.

Answer 2

The Beatles invented "backmasking" actually by mistake, and liked it, you should do a report on the Beatles and backmasking, you'll definetly get a "A". also if you play Led Zepplin's stairway to heaven backwards, well you i'm not going to tell you wath you're gonna hear, but you'll be completely surprised with what he's saying, best part is when the song first speeds up, when he say's
"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind "

play that part backwards...

Answer 3

It was probably originally done by the Beatles, or perhaps Jimi Hendrix. It was believed to have held subliminal power over the listener, and some believed that it held Satanic messages. Some bands actually used it as a joke. Psychological studies have shown that it has no subliminal effects whatsoever, so now if someone does a "time reverse" on a track, it is meant to be a special effect, and not a hidden message (although it could be).

Answer 4
