A fictional character once said, there's a fine line between clever and stupid. This may be evidence that I can only see it in retrospect. I figure if someone actually goes to the trouble of playing something backwards, they deserve a reward of some sort. Whee!
The challenge was to turn a Beatles chorus melody backwards and use it as a chorus in a song. Corky is a madman.
lyrics
Sitting in a ten foot forest
Watch the tiny dinosaurs fly by.
From benches in the canopy at the nadir of the hill.
Miniature humans flock to feel the pull of gravity.
And they all know
Edils a tsuj si ti (x3)
Wings with hardly any body
Light on trumpets that will never sound
Their life is held within
They flit above the tiny humans'
frictionless descent
To loving arms
And they all know
Edils a tsuj si ti (x3)
