Other famous subliminal messages in music include one involving The Beatles, specifically the song titled Come Together, which is said to be about sex with John Lennon. Even Britney Spears, in the song “I’m not that Innocent” had supposedly inserted the message “Sleep with me I’m not too young” when played backwards! The rock group Queen’s song “Another One Bites the Dust” is also purported to be talking about drug use when played backwards. If you were to hear such a message played backwards, would you be able to understand it, or subconsciously alter your behavior? Several years ago, there was a court case involving the suing of a rock group “Judas Priest” which had inserted the subliminal message of “Do it” in their song, which the parents felt induced their children to commit suicide.īefore getting carried away and panicking about the various songs that you have listened to before, the real issue is not whether there are actual subliminal messages included in songs, but if these have any influence on the audience. Research has shown that when participants listened to messages recorded backwards, they are unable to decode what it actually was when played normally. Their behavior was not altered in any noticeable way. However, the incidence of subliminal messages is stranger than their creators can imagine and sometimes can generate opposite effects.Īfter all, if listening to metal bands that proclaim death and gore do not induce people to go on a murder rampage, it is unlikely that such subliminal messages in music can have significant adverse effects on the audience.Subliminal messages are processed in the brain but they fail to reach conscience.Ībout how they could affect our behaviors and decisions is still a widely researched issue, and although the opinions of the psychologists are very different about it, the popular beliefs establish a cause-effect linear relationship between the emission of the message and the behavior of the person. The reason for the lack of knowledge about the subliminal phenomenon can be understood approaching its history. The first rigorous research in this field was carried out in 1919 by Poetzle, to establish a relationship between subliminal stimuli, the post-hypnotic suggestion and the compulsive neurosis. Then, the study of subliminal perception didn’t call the attention again until the end of the 1950s, when in 1957 Vicary, a researcher of the U.S.
