 Electric Light Orchestra and Styx , following their involvement in the 1980s backmasking controversy , released songs that parody the allegations made against them . ELO , after being accused of Satanic backmasking on their 1974 album Eldorado , included backmasked messages in two songs on their next album , 1975 's Face The Music . " Down Home Town " begins with a voice twice repeating ( in reverse ) " Face the mighty waterfall " . And the opening instrumental " Fire On High " contains the backmasked message " The music is reversible , but time is not . Turn back ! Turn back ! Turn back ! Turn back ! " ( listen ) . In 1983 ELO released an entire album , Secret Messages , in response to the controversy . Among the many backmasked messages on the album are : " Welcome to the big show " ( 2x ) ; " Thank you for listening " ; " Look out there 's danger ahead " ; " Hup two three four " ; " Time After Time " ; and " You 're playing me backwards " . Styx also released an album in response to allegations of Satanic backmasking : 1983 's Kilroy Was Here , which deals with an allegorical group called the " Majority for Musical Morality " that outlaws rock music . A sticker on the album cover contains the message , " By order of the Majority for Musical Morality , this album contains secret backward messages " , and the song " Heavy Metal Poisoning " does in fact contain the backmasked Latin words " <unk> <unk> , Novus ordo <unk> " ( " [ God ] has favored our undertakings ; a new order for the ages " ) — part of the Great Seal which encircles the pyramid on the back of the American dollar bill .
