"The Scientist"

The video of Coldplay's "The Scientist" has long been one of my favorites, but this one of the action going forward and the sounds being reversed may very well supplant it.
It's very entertaining to listen to short segments and compare the two. I was surprised at how you have to produce the effects of aspiration, diphthongs, and sounds like [ʃ]. (In fact, the latter is really blowing my mind, because I swear it sounds essentially the same.)
EDIT: It took Chris Martin a month to learn how to sing it phonetically backwards. Awesome!
