There's a new Missy song out. It's on the radio every 5 minutes. It's kinda fun, even if it is a little raunchy.

There's this one part during the song where she raps something about flipping it down and reversing it. I have no idea what that means, but right after that line, the song kinda stutters and plays back what she just said in reverse. Neat.

Over lunch a week or so ago, we got to talking about the reversing effect. This naturally lead into talking about recording yourself speaking backwards and then playing it reversed and seeing if you could understand it. (Early 90's TV junkies may remember this being done to great effect on Twin Peaks during the Red Room scenes.) Some people said they had tried it themselves and that it was a hoot.

I'm always up for a hoot, so tonight I spent a few minutes trying to say stuff in reverse and then play it back to see if I could understand it. Turns out it's harder to make it sound 'right' than I thought it would be. Especially if you accidentally drop a raisin on the microphone while you're trying to record.

Here it is in reverse, just in case you were wondering.

Oops.
