Do you have any idea of what we mean when we talk about subliminal messages (medically)? Does music have to do in any way with it?

Better known as 'backwards masking' in music. Some musicians have purposely said 'Paul Is A Dead Man', revesered the tape and mix it into the fowards music. Most other times it's a stoner or righteous christian that play records backwards and detect 'Moooore-waaap-dooal-smoke-mooore-pot'. And the world must be saved, or more records bought - usually both.

Subliminal messages are a bit different in TV media, and arts (including music). It could be forming ice cubes to spell 'Sex' in a Smirnoff ad, flashing a 25ms clip of 'Food' during a Burger King ad, to small print imbedded on a Ringo Starr record cover.
Many argue the 'actuallity' of these intents, and denial is golden. Even if you take a David Koresh speech and chop it up so it's unintelligable - this could still be construded as 'subliminal' and subject to PMRC advisories.

And where's the ACLU in all this... being 'subliminally quiet' as usual.

De Nile is blue or white, depending which end you're at.

Just because someone denies a thing doesn't prove its validity. I deny that the sky is made of iron plating painted with special paint that changes color and pattern through the day and night. Since I deny this, it must be true, no?

Of course, the Bush campaign's use of "subliminable" (:-D) techniques must be a lie, because Bush is a good and honorable man. *nodnod*

from wikipedia: "The term subliminal message was popularized in a 1957 book entitled The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard. This book detailed a study of movie theaters that supposedly used subliminal commands to increase the sales of popcorn and Coca-Cola at their concession stands. However, James Vicary (the author of the study) later admitted the study was fabricated"

Well, yes. But tell me: did you really want to seduce a male humanoid skunk? Doesn't matter -- TAKE ME, I'M YOURS! *pounce*

True story, at least as Chuck Jones tells it: in one Pepe Le Pew cartoon, a single frame was inserted (sorry) of Pepe and his lady friend du jour in quite an explicit embrace. In a radio interview he described the producer -- I think that's the right guy -- anyway, the fellow who's in charge running the piece through his Movieola and asking Chuck whether there was something odd in that bit of the scene. Chuck deadpanned a negative (a "no," not the photographic kind).

I think the frame was removed before production, but y'all might want to buy as many Chuck Jones DVDs and tapes as you can, just on the off chance.

I forget who's record it was (it was packaged in a pizza-box, anyway [1]) but it had the message "Only assholes play their records backwards! I hope your needle breaks, dicknose" backwards masked at the end of the record.
