Barbie has not lowered their self-esteem | meetse-fles rieht derewol ton sah eibraB

“Hide your barf, barf, hide your barf” | “frab ruoy edih ,frab ,frab ruoy ediH”

You may be surprised how many viral video artists have reversed excerpts from Sesame Street. Ernie and his Muppet pals sing the reggae tune “Do De Rubber Duck.”

Say, what the hell happened to Ernie’s nipples, anyway?

Remember when he talked backwards in the movie? | ?eivom eht ni sdrawkcab deklat eh nehw rebmemeR

As Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Tom Hulce talks backwards in an early scene of Amadeus. You’re hearing the first movement of his Requiem Mass in D minor. If Led Zeppelin and the Beatles are interesting enough to play backwards, why not Mozart? (You better believe those others will be posted on this blog soon.)

“I like a shmoo” | “oomhs a ekil I”

“Sassy304” has posted “Boom-Shack-A-Lak” by Apache Indian in reverse on YouTube as “another backwards song,” but it’s the debut piece of reversed audio or video for my new blog. Played forwards, this song was the opening theme of the 1994 film movie Dumb and Dumber.
