I_Remember_Larry_backwards.ogg‎ (Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 16s, 59kbps)

[edit] Summary

Reversed audio sample of a section of "I Remember Larry", from Bad Hair Day, by "Weird Al" Yankovic. 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 the List of backmasked messages. It cannot be replaced by a free sample because the possible backmasking is unique to this recorded version of the song.

Cropped and reversed using Audacity.
