Anxiety

If you slow "Wedding Feast" down and play it backwards, Prince sings the entirety of "Back In Black" by AC/DC. FACT.

The backwards message in "Baby I'm a Star" as translated by Judas L Christ (from memory):

we hear what sounds like Wendy's voice saying...

"So like, fuck them, man. What do they know? All it takes is a big mouth. Fuck them. What do they know?"

This is played twice, once at the beginning and once at the end of the song.

If anyon has the translation from the Girl 12", I'd love to know that. I've never been able to figure it out.

1. Baby I'm A Star

"Like what the fuck do they know?
All their taste is in their mouth
Really, what the fuck do they know?
Come on, baby
Let's go crazy!"

See: http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#star

2. Girl 12" version

Lyrics here: http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#girl

Backwards message is Wendy repeating lyrics using "boy"

i always love this backward message, because you can hear him speaking in his low voice.

the song is great too, except for the electronic bending of Mayte's voice to keep her in tune.
yes SIR!

Specifically on 'Last December':

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com....html#last

The faintest bit is currently transcribed as:

(Father)
([Where are U?])
(They've lost... they've lost U)
([This world]) {looped}

Lyrics in square brackets are classified as 'uncertain' presently.

For the rest of the album, see:

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...s/trc.html

(There are other lyrics on TRC presently classified as 'uncertain' by the DTT, and any suggestions to the site are welcomed by the team).

Thank you langeblue.

I was already afraid it would have been a message like that... sad
You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.
