Can You Name This VERY Impressive Song?

The secret is revealed midway through the video, but see if you can guess before the revelation. As the video eventually makes obvious, this was not done with camera trickery or editing -- just a lot of hard work and practice.

This is also a great example of how, upon further inspection, things aren’t always what they appear to be.

Now if we could get mankind to just focus half this much time and energy on doing things to improve our health--what a world we would have--lol.  He did help reduce my stress level though so I guess his efforts were of benefit to me after all--hehe. 

Always hidden messages everywhere we turn in life. 

Living life backwards helps us to move forward in the end?

Amazing focus! To not only get the words right, but to also nail the tempo and pitch is quite impressive. I wonder how long it took for him to memorize that?

I was thinking the same thing.  How could one possibly be more American?

Our family has a history of recording things backwards and then playing them. It's tradition. Brings the family together. Things the kids learned when they were really small, they still remember. Having not too much money forces you to invent fun! Great video.

The whole Idea is to show you what you can do if you concentrate and practice on something. Leave it to humans to make it POLITICAL.. and then if not POLITICAL, Turn the guy into a Satanist.. LOL

My brother had a teacher in his Catholic grade school who thought SMURFS were little blue demons. So of course my brother had my sister innocently make him a T shirt with lazy smurf on the back leaning on a shovel saying.. "I love work, I can dream about it for hours." He was huge and covered his whole back.

The teacher freaked.. but they told her the shirt was not against the rules. He wore it several times a week just to drive her crazy. Then the principal told Mom abou it and he ask her nicely to have him limit his smurf wearing. She had him cut back to once a month or so. LOL.

Point is.. People are weird..

I have no idea why this would be so "amazing"!  All that's necessary to "create" a video like this, is a knowlegde of how to run a video backwards & a little bit of ingenuity!

OK samfunyun, have it your way..but can I just say if one believes in God then you must also acknowledge that satan exists, and also, that some practices according to God are not good! Anyway..enjoy your gift of artistry I hope you do well.

Sojo, if this guy had been singing a satanic song backwards, then your criticism would be legitimate, but it's the national anthem. Big deal. Singing or reading backwards is only a satanic practice if you make it one. Brewing up herbal concoctions could have gotten you accused of witchcraft in past eras. I can read and write backwards with ease and I am also ambidextrous. I guess that makes me "possessed" in some people's eyes.

Now what is truly evil is lying to start a war and sending young men & women to kill and be killed, all while claiming to be a Christian!

Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence, is drafting a plan calling for the federal government to secretly watch America's cyberspace, a proposal that will raise obvious personal privacy issues. McConnell tells The New Yorker in the issue which just hit newsstands that his plan will make the current debate over surveillance law look like "a walk in the park."

McConnell acknowledges that, in order to accomplish his plan to protect the Internet from being abused, the government must have the ability to read all the information crossing the Internet throughout the United States. Congressional aides have reported that they are anticipating a fight over civil liberties that will rival the battles over the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

(Got it after about 15 seconds... though I am a musician...).

It reminds me of an episode of the Australian comedy/music show, John Safran's Music Jamboreee. He was sick of people saying 'death metal is for satanists' and 'if you backmask [reverse play] Black Sabbath if makes you kill yourself or commit muder!' etc. So he memorised some Black Sabbath as it sounded when backmasked, dressed up as Ozzie Osbourne, and ran around a shopping mall in Melbourne singing it in reverse at the top of his lungs, jumping in front of surprised shoppers.

Extremely funny if you can find a video of it...!!

Wow, I had no idea. When it came to the middle of the song, I was wondering if he was singing it in a different language or something.

Wow, this is cool!

I got it, too after about 7 notes...

I guess we'd be good at "name that tune"

To be honest. I do not like the idea of him singing Our National Anthem backwards. There is something not right about it. Like he is trying to be arrogant. People are so ready to give people any kind of gratitude for doing anything these days. In my day you had to earn gratitude. People in this country would walk right into danger because they think something was amazing and wonderful and they don't take a second to think to see the real danger. It is time to open your eyes

Please save your political rhetoric for political forums...which this undoubtedly is NOT.  What do your liberal comments have to do with this gentleman's video showing his unique talent?  Absolutely nothing!
