% Part 2 clear clc % 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".
