It's always fun to find little "easter eggs" or subliminal messages or hidden lyrics or hidden things put in places you wouldn't normally expect to find them. Sometimes they're intentional and sometimes they aren't. Whatever the case, I've started a new category on the blog called "Backwards Music and Hidden Messages" where I'll post different song lyrics, easter eggs, and other subliminal messages to provide yet more mindless entertainment.

The first song we'll feature is "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's. This song has several hidden messages when played backwards (sometimes called "backmasked" lyrics). Another interesting note, the whole song played backwards sounds a lot like German so there may be a lot more going on than I realize.

So sit back and enjoy. I have provided the lyrics played forwards and backwards as well as audio snippets you can download and try it yourself.

Stay tuned for a bunch more backmasked lyrics including some startling revelations about Britney Spears (ok, nothing about her startles us anymore) but it's still fun.

Enjoy.
