 Some messages chastise or poke fun at the listener who is playing the song backwards . One such message was included by " Weird Al " Yankovic in " I Remember Larry " , from the 1996 album Bad Hair Day , on which Yankovic lightly chastises the listener with the backmasked remark , " Wow , [ you ] must have an awful lot of free time on your hands " ( listen ) . Similarly , the B @-@ 52 's song " Detour Through your Mind " , from the 1986 LP Bouncing off the Satellites , contains the message , " I buried my parakeet in the backyard . Oh no , you 're playing the record backwards . Watch out , you might ruin your needle . " A similar message comes from the Canadian band Frozen Ghost from their 1987 self @-@ titled debut album : " You are ruining your needle ! "
