[Music] do you love finding Easter eggs and films or music maybe you just want your music to have more meaning from satanic references to political statements to sexual messages these well-known songs each have a hidden meaning or subliminal message which might just make you change the way you listen to them in the future hidden subliminal messages in popular songs Strawberry Fields forever whether you like them or not The Beatles are one of the biggest and most influential rock bands of the 20th century with their fame was also a controversy that existed for years among their
fans thanks to hid in backwards verses and mumbled lines some fans actually believed Paul McCartney was dead secretly replaced with a double who killed him apparently John Lennon among a number of songs that supposedly contained hidden messages about Paul's death if you listen closely at the end of the 1967 released Strawberry Fields forever you can hear Lennon say I buried Paul in an interview Lenin said he actually said cranberry sauce which makes even less sense hook Blues Traveler chances are that you've only ever heard two songs by Blues Traveler and this is one of them
hook sounds like your typical catchy 90s tune but it's actually a giant middle finger to the music industry pop music and fans the chord progression used is lifted straight from the very popular Canon in D without any alterations the lyrics if you really listen to them pretty much say that it doesn't matter what the band says record companies will love it and fans will buy it as long as they add inflection in the right spots and the song just has a good folk it's a message hidden in plain sight and you can't really say they're
wrong because hook made it all the way to number eight on the charts total eclipse of the heart Bonnie Tyler when you think of a 1980s power ballad boozing with all the expected cheesy emotion total eclipse of the heart has to rank up there would you believe however that this song isn't your typical love ballad all those references to night and darkness aren't metaphors for loneliness and heartbreak listen to the lyrics carefully and you might just decode the message about vampires in love it turns out this song would be far more appropriate for a Twilight
sequel than a grade eight dance stairway to heaven Led Zeppelin a song by one of rock's most iconic bands stairway to heaven was played at more than one school dance over the years and is often considered to be the greatest rock song of all time however those who hunt for hidden messages and songs have singled out this classic as having a rather Perot satan message around the middle of the eighth minute long song there was reportedly a message hidden with the help of backmasking when reversed some say you can hear Robert Plant saying the lines
here's to my sweet Satan and I sing because I live with Satan considering the song's title it's more than a little ironic do you hear what I hear you might think this song is just another Christmas classic but it's not we're in in 1962 at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis do you hear what I hear is actually an anti-war song promoting peace and warning against impending thermonuclear devastation it may seem to have all the characters and symbols you'd expect to see in a holiday song but look closer references to the little lamb are
actually about the innocent children the dancing stars with tails as big as a kite is a reference to incoming ballistic missiles with their fiery trails of course the line calling for people to pray for peace simply echoed the sentiments of many people living through that very uncertain time sledge hammer Peter Gabriel many people have called musician Peter Gabriel innovative and cutting-edge others think he is strange and his videos even stranger sledge hammer was a huge hit for Gabriel but a lot of people seem to think that it was just a nonsensical stong stop and pay
attention to the lyrics with an open and slightly dirty mind this song is 100% about sex sure it's tame compared to today's sexual references but in 1986 this was pretty subliminal and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable hit me baby one more time Wow I'm a surface that doesn't seem to be very much subliminal about this Britney Spears song hit me baby one more time either refers to domestic violence or some sort of sexual request while you debate its meaning some people think that if you play this 1999 hit backwards you get a very
clear request rather than praise Satan like other backwards tracks hit me baby one more time reportedly has Britney saying sleep with me I'm not too young when a particular part is played backwards pokerface Lady gaga despite what you might think this song is not at all about Lady Gaga's ability to clean up at cards pokerface is actually about the singers ability to make a guy think she was straight and not bisexual listen to the song again and we're sure the message will become clear as day if you get to the line about her bluffin with
my muffin and you still aren't convinced about the song's message then there's nothing we can do to help you relax Frankie Goes to Hollywood on the surface this 80s retro classic seems to warn against the stresses in excess present in society in actuality it's just a song about sex and masturbation and it's a pretty obvious message hidden in rather plain view when the song says should you relax don't do it when you want to come and shoot it in the right direction it doesn't really leave much to the imagination the funny thing is that while
parents were chasing after kiss with pitchforks and torches Frankie Goes to Hollywood rarely got a second class the star-spangled banner' Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the American national anthem at Woodstock in 1969 is considered one of the all-time greatest performances by a guitarist on the surface it was just that amplified and psychedelically fuelled interpretation of a classic that is forever linked with the massive music festival but Jimi's performance was also a message of the crowd and the world if you listen to the performance you could hear Hendrix simulate the dropping of bombs firing of
missiles and machine guns and the screams of civilians all through his guitar he even inserts a little of taps a song often heard at military funerals it all comes together to send a very clear anti-war message to protest the foreign policies of the United States especially in Vietnam thanks for watching here's some other videos we think you might like and while you're here don't forget to click thumbs up and subscribe thanks [Music]
