h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Alright then, let's start again.

Once upon a time, there was a group of writers who enjoyed making their characters sing 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road' backwards in E-Major while juggling rubber chickens and riding unicycles made entirely from Bob Evans breakfast sausages. Fortunately, their eyes all turned to fruit which then turned into the corresponding fruity iMacs, and another group of writers sat at the iMacs and started writing a new story. Here is that story:

It was a cold and rainy day. Bob, who always liked to do things backwards, were walking down the street, wearing nothing but a swimming costume from the early 50'ies when suddenly a weird creature appeared in front of him.
"Hello," said the creature. "Do you know how to sing Follow the Yellow Brick Road backwards and in e-major?"

Bob looked at the weird creature questioningly.

"Also, do you mean e-major the key, or E-Major the town?" Bob added, in his characteristically backward way. He was feeling a little more drawrof than usual.

"or perhaps it should be pronounced as it would be if it were spelled backwards."

"On whether it should be sung with the words in the opposite order, or the individual phonemes,"

"That depends," said Bob.

The creature continued... "Also the question arises as to the tune. Should the notes be played backwards, or should just the words be sung backwards?"

Bob pondered, shrugged, and walked backwards over the creature and continued on his way.

The creature, which was made entirely from bacon and eggs (by virtue of being a cross between a pig and a chicken, onto which a lesser-known messiah was nailed) gradually reappeared.

"Say," it said. "I'm a creature, so my name backwards is 'Erutaerc'. What's your name backwards?"
