Hidden Messages in Popular Music

Wired compiled a list of hidden messages in popular music. One of the few on the list that I own on vinyl is Prince’s Purple Rain, so I’ll be sure to check this one out for myself.

1984 On Purple Rain‘s “Darling Nikki,” Prince closes with gibberish that, when played backward, sounds like “Hello, how are you? I’m fine, ’cause I know that the Lord is coming soon.”
