Any search online will bring up a multitude of subliminal songs. i.e. songs with subliminal messages in them.

You can find anything from classics such as the Led Zeppelin stairway to heaven subliminal messages to the modern popstarts such as Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Justin Timberlake using them.

There is debate whether musicians intentionally put subliminal messages in their music or whether it is purely a coincidence. Most musicians simply deny using them. However after listening to these songs in reverse there are some really obvious subliminal suggestions which stand out from the music / other voices. Messages which are just clear to be just a coincidence.

The craze for recording / finding subliminal messages in songs started way back in 1967 with the release of Led Zeppelins track “Stairway to Heaven” Within this video there were alleged to be subliminal messages around the chorus section where the line starts “so there's a bushell in your hedgerow”. People played the track backwards to reveal a suggestion of “Here's to my Sweet Satan”. This caused massive public outcry, and a lot of anger from religous commnities - but Led Zeppelin stayed quiet and didn't say a word.

But the denial was irrelevant, phenomenon of subliminal backmasking in songs was created!

People started looking for messages, while more artists started putting them in their music. Subliminals have since been found in:

Britney Spears – telling people “sleep with me I’m not too young” in her first single.

Nirvana – a message saying “I hate you” in their hit single Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Tupac – hinting that he is still alive.

Queen – promoting the use of Marijuana.

Lady Gaga – saying “have sex” in her debut single.

This is just the start, musicians have been putting subliminals in their music for over 40 years! There are hundreds of examples spanning all genres, and most of the big named popstars!
