Ich weiß nicht, wie Leute auf solche absurden Ideen kommen, aber irgendwas werden sie sich dabei schon denken, denke ich mir – und höre natürlich mal rein. Die Arbeit soll ja schließlich nicht umsonst gewesen sein.
I applied my „cursed“ recipe to Pyramid Song and combined it with the old Betty Boop cartoon Poor Cinderella. But here is the strange part. With this specific video, YouTube automatically generated a transcript (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t) over the reversed and pitch shifted version of the song. And surprisingly, it showed no more or less that Thom is seemingly singing “Jesus is my God” in Russian. Any Slavic speaker of any Slavic language would understand it.
I know about The Wizard of Oz theory, and during those Kid A and Amnesiac sessions they were heavily experimenting with reversed recordings (we all know how Like Spinning Plates was made), so this finding is quite intriguing to me.
Also, black-eyed angels appear in the video, and that was not my intention when I created it.
