Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – “You Don’t Know How It Feels”
When the video for this song first came out it in 1994 it was really popular on MTV. But the standards of the day dictated that the line “let’s roll another joint” could not be played. So instead the version of the song they played (in heavy rotation, many times per day) had the word “joint” (and only the word joint) played in reverse; that is, backward-masked a la “Paul is dead”.
Which was just so wacky. I mean, with the rhyme scheme it was completely obvious to anyone over the age of 5 (and probably to a decent fraction of the 5-year-olds as well) what the actual lyric was. And yet millions of times per day we stared at our televisions as they played “let’s roll another tnioooooj”.
We were such delicate flowers.
