Media:Rbeatles.wav

Forward: speech sounds like "number nine", background music is flipped on 00:16

Backward: speech sounds like "let me on the man", 

Conclusion: Different background musics are put together, with one in forward and one in backward form, while there are no really clear messages from the speaker.
