Coming up. Let’s dive into the bizarre and sensational era of the Satanic Panic, a time when songs were accused of harboring "evil" hidden messages, and bands faced relentless scrutiny as alleged corruptors of society. While heavy metal bands were the primary targets, even the likes of today’s squeaky clean band ELO, the Electric Light Orchestra, found themselves entangled in the fanatical crusade. Today we break down the hidden messages in ELO’s music including the doubled-sided hit Sweet Talkin’ Woman and Fire On Hight. We unravel the stories behind these cryptic songs, their secret messages, and the mysterious woman who cast her spell on an unsuspecting rock star named Jeff Lynne and how Fire On Hight might be the most bizarre and creepy B side of the entire 70s… NEXT on Professor of Rock.

Jeff Lynne was on a quest to find the elusive “Sweet Talkin’ Woman,” with all her alluring beauty and charm…but when he found her…his life turned upside down As the old saying from Aeosop’s Fables goes….be careful what you wish for. Beneath an appealing exterior, there may lurk hidden dangers that, once uncovered, compel an immediate instinct to flee. What looks good on the surface may have something dangerous lurking on the inside, and when you find it… all you want to do is RUN. RUN!!
Today we are covering their A-side Sweet Talking Woman and its strange B-side Fire on High. "Sweet Talkin' Woman" by Electric Light Orchestra, is a song written by Jeff Lynne. It was released in ’78 as the 4th single from the ELO album "Out of the Blue." The lyrics of "Sweet Talkin' Woman" tell the story of a man addressing a woman who is charming, but…. manipulative. The man is cautious and aware that her “sweet talkin’ ways” might not be genuine, but he is still drawn to her. The song showcases ELO’s distinctive blend of rock, pop, and classical elements, with ELO's signature, pulsating, orchestral sound:
The single became the third top hit from Out of the Blue- shooting to #6 in the UK, and #17 on the Hot 100. The b-side for the UK single was the ballad “Bluebird is Dead,” featuring an eerie guitar solo entirely engineered as a backward recording. Jeff Lynne established a reputation for backward masking very early in his career.
Because of his deep admiration of the Beatles, and his sly, humorous nature, Jeff Lynne loved to incorporate backward masking with secret messages in the ELO recordings. He started embedding cryptic messages in his music as far back as 1968 with the debut album Idle Race. Almost every album he’s produced since then features a track with concealed, and somewhat enigmatic meanings. As with many other innovations, the Fab Four popularized backward masking and dazzled listeners with hidden stuff
