So guys, I came across this video
http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/24/58377 ... ycle-video

OMG I WANT IT!

I was never a fan of the whole Harley Davidson, bike gang or, old people with beard and sunglasses, like duck dynasty guys, but I just love the idea of cool looking electric motorcycle.

Hey, motorcycles are practical! So long as you're safe with them, because they're a good way to die otherwise.

Like a friend of mine always said, "Motorcycles are both a miracle and an abomination on two wheels."

I'll learn how to fly with an instructor for a while, and then I'll be flying by myself later.
I'll be flying cessna next year, hopefully. (All through air cadets (JROTC))

I've got a bike!
You can ride it if you like it.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
and things to make it look good!

I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You guys do know that song is actually about tripping on acid, right?

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:25 pm

I didn't know that Jeff. I now feel really uneasy, my English teacher in Middle School played that song a lot. I wonder if she knew the meaning.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 3:06 pm

It's because they used to have acid in paper form so it would be harder to get caught with I guess, and a popular image to put on it was a bicycle. I don't think further explanation is necessary.

The inventor of LSD, Albert Hofmann, first discovered its psychoactive properties after he accidentally spilled some over his hand and rode the bike back home.

The Blue Fox · Post by **The Blue Fox** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:09 pm

We should talk about other songs that have hidden meanings.

I feel like I know a couple but can't think of 'em at the moment. Knowing me they're probably the most well-known hidden meanings songs out there.

Post by **Sleet** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 6:47 pm

I'd imagine if the meanings have to be hidden, they're likely not ones appropriate for the forum. So let's be careful, a'ight? :3

Post by **Obbl** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 7:10 pm

But what about the "Happy Birthday" song, which secretly implies that it's your birthday...

My mind was blown when I learned that one.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 7:39 pm

Ring around the Rosie has a hidden meaning. that's all I know.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:45 pm

Ring around the rosie is actually about the plague.

"Ring around the rosie"
This is the only line I'm not 100% sure on. I know it had to do with a symptom that meant you had caught the plague, but forget exactly what that symptom was. Something to do with a ring clearly.

"Pocket full of posies"
Back then, they thought that being able to smell the bodies of those already claimed by the plague would make you catch it yourself, so they would surround themselves with things that had strong smells — like posies — to protect themselves.

"Ashes, ashes" (Or achew, achew in a different version that I believe is common in Europe)
This represents either the ashes from burning those that were already claimed, or the sneezing fits that those who had caught it would tend to have.

"We all fall down"
Everyone dies.

Fun fact: That song is under copyright. It's why you rarely see it on TV or anywhere like that. The original lyrics were "good morning to you."

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 10:38 pm

Wait, who owns the copyright to happy birthday?

Post by **ArcWolf** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 11:00 pm

Warner.

Happy Birthday to $700 in royalties if they catch you!

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 12:30 am

oh well... I am never using that song again...ever

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:05 am

As someone who will one day be rich and famous enough to sell out and forget where he came from I would like to go on the record as being pro- copyright law

Oh. I know this one. Yeah, it's like a kinda really bad rash that forms on your skin in the shape of rings. This "rash" then eventually grows into a discoloured "black" ring, giving the bubonic plague it's famous "black death" nickname.

Yeah I always knew it at "atishoo, atishoo" (the sneezes) and the "ashes, ashes" version never sounds right to me. :/

Apparently, in one of the Beatles' songs (I forget which), if you were to play the song backwards, it would say "Paul is dead" over and over.

That was at the end of "Don't Pass Me By" on the White Album. It was George saying "Paul is dead miss him miss him".

Oh yeah, there's quite a few songs out there that have a hidden message that you can hear when you play them backwards.
I recall it happens with a lot of children's TV programs that, when played backwards, often say stuff like "worship satan" or "666" or other devil relted stuff.

It's related with Paul's death legend, but it's not really so. Probably you're talking about the song called Revolution 9. What's listened can't be written here, search and listen by yourself...

Another famous song example is Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, and I know about the case of a more recent Italian song.

I've always wondered what's the real purpose of these backmasked subliminal messages in songs which aren't neither immediate to hear and understand. Marketing? Can be, they make people talk of a sold product, doesn't matter in which way... Only a paranoic would listed many song in backwards to "find" and make believe of the existance of words and phrases that everyone can interpret differently...

They involve devil, drugs, sex and other taboo arguments, and so? It's enough to know that these arguments always existed in the human life, I see nothing special. Just a little, there's to do compliments to the song writers, composers and producers who find ways to mess people's minds.

Another music related zone where the visive subliminal messages and symbolism is now pretty much used is the music videos one.
