If anyone still has AOL, try this...
Take the WAV file "You've Got Mail" and play it backwards. It sounds like "I Am Ugly."

Then, record yourself saying, "I Am Ugly." Play it backwards, and it should sound like "You've Got Mail."

That's how backmasking has been done for the past 40 years; find something that sounds remotely like something else when played backward, and then fuck around a little bit with the forward part to make it sound even closer.

The Beatles (obviously) are a good primary source for this stuff. Here are a few to get you started.
Rain - 1966
Tomorrow Never Knows - 1966
Strawberry Fields Forever - 1967
I'm So Tired - 1968
Only a Northern Song - 1968
Revolution 9 - 1968
