Cracking Michael Jackson's P.Y.T. Code
Back in 1982 Michael Jackson introduced us to the acronym P.Y.T. with his song P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) on the album Thriller, a fun, lighthearted and dancy jam about a girl who makes Michael go "woo-hoo!".
But if you think the title says it all you're wrong, because this seemingly simple pop song has been hiding a mystery all these years- hidden lyrics in the high pitched, chipmunky part at the end of the song.
Music copyright expert Drew Seventeen used audio software Audacity to pitch shift the outro of P.Y.T. and discovered some hidden messages sung by Michael himself:
“‘Good Life’ by Kanye West featuring T-Pain (heavily sampling that section) is actually my iPhone morning alarm song. So after hearing the voice hundreds of times in the dream-wakefulness transition, I became obsessed with knowing what the actual lyric was. I assumed the ‘tee’ and ‘see’ were chopped off in the final mix due to timing limits on early sampling technology, but the exposed stem also makes it clear that he just hits a lower note there which becomes unclear in the master recording.”

None of pelosi's family businesses are union, i.e.
I worked for an organization that was created in the 1950s that initially had a 3-year study mission.
I have never commented on this sight. I come here for fun, but I do notice that you only and often post anti-union pieces. I checked the link you have to the New York Post, a Rupert Murdoch owned publication which states that what you have posted is only an accusation. Nothing has been proven.
Unions, like any organization do make mistakes, but it would be nice if you posted stories about unions fighting when people have been unfairly fired, working for decent wages, and generally improving people's lives.
But perhaps this is a politically conservative web site and I didn't know it. Do other people know your hatred of unions and working people? Do others know that you pass off Newscorp and Fox biased Murdoch news? Do your advertisers know it? I will not look at this site any more and I plan to tell others of your bias.
To me, the Neatorama post seems to be a very fair piece on unions. It is an article defending a groups right to unionize. The guy wanted to form a union, was fired for his idea, and the article is making it known to all.
Not all of us carry the same politics and will find some articles neat. Others won't. Big deal. There's no need to sling accusations of hatred or thinly veiled attacks through advertisers. Unless, of course, you wanted to shut Alex up, which seems to be your intent.
CYA Jason, no one cares if you stay or leave. The interwebby is a very big place, and your presence or absence is not even a rounding error on the webstats.
You are a tool.
I meant to type fool.
Is it ironic that a "veteran writer for the United Federation of Teachers" who's paid $100K/yr uses "whoever" and not "whomever" as the direct object?
