The last sounds on the recording are of an unidentified man saying, "I could have used more cowbell!"

What does it say if you play it backwards?

First thing heard on the recording: "I know this damn thing is gonna skip".
(Geezer joke).

This foil recording says""Look at me; I don't know the song...."
Subsequent (since destroyed) recordings had him cursing when he repeatedly screwed up. They were the first recorded incidents of curses, foiled again.

Well...no. The first recording was Edison himself reciting "Mary had a little lamb" in 1877. He rerecorded it some years later for posterity.
