% Use wavread to read and store the Beatles song
[song,Fs] = wavread('Beatles.wav');
song_reversed = flipud(song); % this will flip the song and play it in reverse
sound(song_reversed,Fs);
The song played in forward say "Number Nine".
When it is played in reversed the sound that comes out is "Turn me on dead man".
