My Sweet Satan: A dessert shop in Manhattan where the desserts are so delicious because the chef sold his soul to the devil to be able to make the world’s most delicious desserts and pastries, but because of this, the desserts are also cursed, and eating them makes people possessed by the devil and need an exorcism, and they act like Regan in The Exorcist, but they vomit up delicious chocolate mousse, gelato, crème brûlée, tiramisu, nougat, Napoleons, etc., and when people see this happening, they say: “Oh my, how horrible! But wait, isn’t that delicious chocolate mousse (etc.)?” And then they pick it up and eat it, and then they become possessed, and they are taken into the kitchen to produce the desserts en masse.
(For anyone who doesn’t recognize the reference in the name My Sweet Satan, in the early 1980s, some crazy televangelists claimed that the Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” contained a backwards message that said something about “Here’s to my sweet Satan” or whatever, and some extra stuff too. I remember this like it was yesterday. I actually played my album backwards and found most of what they were talking about to sound like gobbledygook, except for one place, where the phrase “There’s still time” from the line “There’s still time to change the road you’re on” kinda sounds maybe a little bit like “My sweet Satan” if you really want it to badly enough, but I still think it’s an absolute complete fluke coincidence. And you really have to go that extra mile to hear it, too. It also sounds kind of like: “Ma’s meat sentence” or like: “Mine, eat bacon”. Whatever. Anyway, what’s way better than even if that was true and they really did it on purpose is the idea of these crazy, high-horse Moral Majority types sitting around and listening to rock and heavy metal albums backwards all day long looking for anything that sounds vaguely Satanic. You really have to reassess a group that’s willing to go so far for so little. If you want to know more about it, go to the following link:
And then scroll down the page about a third of the way to where it says: “Allegation of backward masking”.
