Rumor has it that that famous songs actually contain subliminal messages. Subliminal messages used in songs are verbal or aural in nature, and are done either very fast or backwards at such low volumes that the listeners do not even know they are hearing it. Such charges are made not just to rock music, but they are also present in Christian songs! A well-known subliminal message in music is the song Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, that apparently when reversely played contains messages pertaining to Satanism. This is a type of reverse subliminal messages. More often than not, subliminal message are added into songs for entertainment purposes or to increase sales of the album. It is rumored that Led Zeppelin placed the message wishing that if people played the record in reverse enough times, it would damage it and hence lead to added sales for them! Other famous subliminal messages in music include one involving The Beatles, namely the song titled Come Together, which is believed to be about sexual intercourse with John Lennon. Even Britney Spears, in the song “I’m not that Innocent” had purportedly inserted the message “Sleep with me I’m not too young” when reversely played! The rock group Queen’s song “Another One Bites the Dust” is also purported to be mentioning about drug usage when played in reverse. A couple of years before, there was a court case involving the suing of a rock group “Judas Priest” which had inserted the subliminal message of “Do it” in their song, which the parents felt induced their children to commit suicide. Before getting work up over and panicking about the various songs that you have listened to in the past, wherein the problem lies is not if subliminal messages were added into songs or not, but if these have any effect on the audience. If you were to hear such a message played backwards, would you be able to make sense of it, or subconsciously alter your behavior? Researchers have found out that when listeners have access to messages recorded backwards, they are unable to decode what it actually was when played normally. There was no significant impact on their behavior After all, if listening to metal bands that proclaim death and gore do not induce people to go on a killing spree, it is unlikely that such subliminal messages in music can have significant adverse effects on the audience.
