Singles - ELO







I bring you Electric Light Orchesta's "Fire On High". What can be said about this song. First the obvioust must be established, its opening is pretty fucking creepy. The opening of the sound has lyrics which sound like gibberish, but infact are backmasked. The process was first popularly used by The Beatles. It involves the reversal of lyrics. Backmasking is not to be confused with phonetic reversal (I.E. Stairway to Heaven SATAN SATAN SATAN bullshit). When played backwards, a voice distincly says, "The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back. Turn back." This could easily be seen as a joke played bue to accusations of the Satanic nature of "Eldorado" by fundamentist christians. A somewhat similar thing was done at the beginning of the track Still Life by Iron Maiden. Aside from having the disturbing opening it is a pretty cool song. so CHECK IT OUT
