Someone told me that the music used in the exorcist, which is from tubular bells 2, is in part a mozart symphony, possibly his 35th, played backwards!

Does anyone know if this is true?  :O

The excerpt in "The Exorcist" is from Tubular Bells (not TB2) and there's no correalation between it and any Mozart that i'm aware of.

On the 'Later with Jools Holland' show he was interviewing Mike and he asked where the piano tune came from and he said it was just an upside down version of another tune. He was playing the TB piano tune on the high E and palying all the other notes under that E instead of above the E. If that makes sense....and it's some famous piano theme. It's on cell phones. I've heard it before but I do not know what it's called or who did it.
