Have you heard of Stretched Beethoven? A guy took a recording of the 9th Symphony and stretched it out to a full twenty-four hours:

And then there is "Run For Your Life;" all the Beatles music in order of release, as one file, sampled down to just over an hour:

That's silly--and I need to listen to it sometime. Thanks for the pointer.

You can still recognize some of the songs.

And I swear at one point the Beatles shout "Oi! Oi! Oi!"

Now I *really* need to listen to it. But not tonight--I'm beat.

And then there is "Revolution 1" which is "Revolution" sampled down then slowed to produce a bizarre, jittery sound.

Isn't there a version of Revolution that was played backward, in a search for secret messages or something silly like that?

A number of songs - including several by the Beatles - supposedly contain "backwards masking," words and phrases reversed and put into the recording as a concealed clue or subliminal message. The problem is that the human brain is hardwired to find spoken words, so people do find things, even when there's not really anything there.

The funniest was "I sing this song for Satan" from the Mister Ed theme.

No, I haven't. That's geeky, but it doesn't reek of wrongness to me.
