Famous Subliminal Messages In Music
There have been many different kinds of rumors and speculations that famous songs actually contain subliminal messages. Subliminal messages can be used in songs that are verbal or aural in nature, and are delivered either very quickly or backwards at such low volumes that the audience is unaware of receiving it. It is made in such a way so that the audience would not be aware that they are under the influence of such a 'trick' and would innocently be mesmerized by the songs they are listening too. Such charges are made not just to rock music, but even Christian songs as well!
A famous subliminal message in music would be the song Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, that apparently when played backwards contains satanic messages. Apparently, some people claim that when they tried this trick, they could hear the devil speaking right to them in this fashion. This is a form of reverse subliminal messages. More often than not, subliminal message are inserted for entertainment purposes or to increase sales of the album. The reason behind its success is that subliminal does not create a craving for a product but enhances the desire and want for it when it is already there. Thus, since most of the people that attend concerts are fans of the bands performing, they already have a craving to buy their albums. This is where subliminal messaging comes in to enhance that desire and eventually influencing them to purchase it. It has been speculated that Led Zeppelin inserted the message as they thought that if people played the record backwards enough times, it would spoil it and hence lead to increased sales for them!
Other famous subliminal messages in music include one involving The Beatles, specifically the song titled Come Together, which is said to be about sex with John Lennon. Even Britney Spears, in the song ?I?m not that Innocent? had supposedly inserted the message ?Sleep with me I?m not too young? when played backwards! The rock group Queen?s song ?Another One Bites the Dust? is also purported to be talking about drug use when played backwards.
Several years ago, 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 carried away and panicking about the various songs that you have listened to before, the real issue is not whether there are actual subliminal messages included in songs, but if these have any influence on the audience. If you were to hear such a message played backwards, would you be able to understand it, or subconsciously alter your behavior?
Research has shown that when participants listened to messages recorded backwards, they are unable to decode what it actually was when played normally. Their behavior was not altered in any noticeable way. After all, if listening to metal bands that proclaim death and gore do not induce people to go on a murder rampage, it is unlikely that such subliminal messages in music can have significant adverse effects on the audience.
