Reversed audio sample of a section of "{{{1}}}", from {{{2}}}, by {{{3}}}. This clip is short (under 30 seconds) and therefore a small proportion of the original song. Its quality has been reduced to no higher than the equivalent of a Vorbis quality setting of 0 (roughly 64kbps).

This sample is used to illustrate the backmasked message allegedly found in this portion of the song in {{{4}}}. It cannot be replaced by a free sample because the possible backmasking is unique to this recorded version of the song.
