Everyone knows about the hidden satanic messages in songs.

You take a song, you play it backwards, and in certain places, you will have the singer saying something evil, like "I like eating puppies with cinnamon".

I have always assumed that this happens because our brains try to recognize patterns in the sounds they get, and they are a bit too good in that job, but now I have proof.

Here's a video Rosario (my wife, hi dear!) sent me:

.. raw:: html

  <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ftIAG3YPmB0"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ftIAG3YPmB0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

In it you can hear pieces of pop songs, in english (and latin), and subtitles of what they **seem to say** in spanish.

Now, unless you believe Avril Lavigne actually says "Leiva quiso venderme el Ford" (Leiva tried to sell me a Ford), and Marley sings about "Where is Julia", the "picking too much signal" theory seems true.

Specially, if you are told what you **should** hear, it works much better!

I had heard these songs a million times, and I had never thought they said that, but with the subtitles... some of them are pretty close :-)

The issue of why subliminal messages encoded backwards in songs make no sense in the first place is another topic.
