Easter Eggs – KC Cosplay Runner

YYZ: In the beginning, loud bells are heard ringing. The ringing bell patterns are the song’s title in morse code. Pilots who have flown to Toronto International Airport can vouch for this Easter Egg as YYZ is the code of the Toronto International Airport, which is Rush’s home town.
Sweet Child O’ Mine: The song finishes with Axl singing ‘where do we go now?’ but that was actually him asking the question to the producer and bandmates in the studio, as they didn’t have lyrics for the end of the song. It’s now become a part of the fabric of the song, and couldn’t be fathomed without it.
Empty Spaces: From Pink Floyd’s 1979 album The Wall. Roger Water’s voice can be heard saying “Congratulations. You’ve just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont…” Another voice call can also be heard exclaiming “Roger! Carolyne is on the phone!”
Hidden Track: Jason Mraz changed the name to “I’m Coming Over” for Spotify. Hidden in plain sight.
If You Have to Ask: While guitarist John Frusciante finishes the solo at the end of the song, the production crew and the band can be heard applauding him. However, no attempts were made to edit out the applause or to re-record it like with all other unintended sounds found on the album.
Your House: Just about every ‘90s girl with a pulse is all too familiar with Alanis’s smash debut, Jagged Little Pill, but only those lucky enough to let the CD play on loop are familiar with the album’s secret track, “Your House (A Cappella)” in which Alanis sings woefully about finding out about a lover’s affair — a prelude to “You Oughta’ Know,” perhaps?
Sweet Emotion: The weird spacey vocal that appears over the pillowy bass intro isn’t what we’re referring to – we’re talking about the shaker sound you hear in this Aerosmith song, which was actually a sugar packet shaken into the mic. Low tech, high groove.
Strawberry Fields: The infamous “Paul Is dead” conspiracy comes from this iconic song. During the song, the words “I buried Paul” can be heard during the creepy outro. The theory claims that Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in 1966 and replaced with a double.
The Citizen’s Band: The Welsh Britpop oddballs decided to make ‘Citizen’s Band’ a hidden track as it didn’t fit with the general vibe of album Guerilla. Frontman Gruff Rhys said that it was concealed to make the album like a video game where the player discovers a new level. With its laid-back vocals and grungy guitars, it’s a great add-on to the record. It’s a shame, though, that a plan to hide the track in the album cover through a special sleeve didn’t materialize due to costs.
Hotel California: The Eagles’ hymn to hedonism spawned plenty of controversy. And while the band remains open about their drug use, they never owned up to the supposed Satanic messages in their music. Many point to the song “Hotel California.” Head to 3:29 if you want to hear “Yeah Satan, he organized, oh, he organized his own religion.” This is “There were voices down the corridor, thought I heard them say, welcome to the hotel California” played in reverse. The album itself also spawned rumors of Satanism. The cover features a shadowy figure in the background that people claim is Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. Turns out it’s just a woman in the shadows.
I Remember Larry: Leave it to Weird Al to make a joke out of his Easter egg: His song “I Remember Larry” holds a secret message that, if played backwards, says “Wow, you must have an awful lot of time on your hands.”
Train In Vain (Stand By Me): As Mick Jones himself has said, ‘Train In Vain’ was actually intended for a give-away in none other than the NME, as a flexi-disk to whet appetites for London Calling. However, the promotion fell through, so it was made an 11th hour addition to the punk band’s third album. Problem was, the record sleeve had already been done, making it an unintentional hidden track on the record. Many fans actually thought the song was called “Stand By Me” because of the lack of official title and repetition of the phrase, but its chugging rhythm and twang-guitar Western vibe refuted that; and created a track even more infectious than Prince on antibiotics.
This is America: This one you really have to watch then dig into the many-layered egg salad. There’s a lot going on.
Bejeweled: Another video chock full of hidden gems. Watch it and head down the rabbit hole.
Back in Time: In a clever nod to Back to the Future, those who listen closely enough to “Back in Time” can hear Huey (or some other Doc fan, no doubt) whisper a word of encouragement to the movie’s protagonist as they say “Get back, Marty.” Whoa.
Better By You, Better Than Me: One of the most notorious instances of a band supposedly hiding an Easter egg in its music centers on Judas Priest. The British heavy metal pioneers got sued in 1990 when two of their fans in Nevada claimed they made a suicide pact after listening to the album Stained Class. One shot himself and died instantly; the other attempted to kill himself but failed. The survivor wrote a letter to his mother saying, “I believe that alcohol and heavy metal music, such as Judas Priest, led us or even mesmerized us into believing that the answer to life was death.” The survivor’s mother sued – and her legal team claimed if you play “Better By You, Better Than Me” backwards, you can hear the message “do it” repeatedly. Their lawsuit claimed the message put the young men in a trance and convinced them to commit suicide. The legal battle, which lasted six weeks, ended in the band’s favor. The strange court proceedings included lawyers asking for autographs and lead singer Rob Halford being asked to sing on the stand.
Nameless, Endless: After a 10-minute long silence during Nirvana’s “Rage,” off their second album Nevermind, the song “Nameless, Endless” will start playing. The song is not credited on the album and is not featured on every copy. This song may or may not have scared the sh*t out of you once in your lifetime.
Four Seven: a hidden song by Jars Of Clay from their self-titled album. Quotes 2 Corinthians 4:7. Originally recorded for their album Frail. Followed by another 18+ minutes of random sounds in the studio.
