Part A: What's he saying?

I have no idea what Judas Priest is saying. Seriously, what is he saying? If I had to guess, it sounds remotely like "Now come out to die". That's a bit morose, I know, but that's what it sounds like to me.

Part B: The Hidden Message in Reverse

MATLAB Code:

%Jacob Pfister
%HW1.2

clear
clc

[wavdataf srate bps] = wavread('jpforward.wav'); %read in data

wavplay(wavdataf, srate); %play forward

wavdatar = flipud(wavdataf); %flip data

wavplay(wavdatar, srate); %play reverse

wavwrite(wavdatar, srate, bps, 'JPSubliminalInReverse.wav'); %write file

Sound File: Media:JPSubliminalInReverse_ECE301Fall2008mboutin.wav

Comments:

Again, I have no clue what Priest is saying, but if forced to guess, it might be "It's the seventh life". Clearly, Priest must be singing to his cat. As we all know, cats have nine lives. Priest is encouraging his cat to use up "the seventh life" since it will still have two more to live anyway.
