Piece of Mind is the fourth studio album by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, originally released in 1983 by EMI and then by Capitol in Canada and the US, where it was later reissued by Sanctuary/Columbia Records. It was the first album to feature drummer Nicko McBrain, who had recently left the Paris-based band Trust and has been Iron Maiden's drummer ever since. ~ wiki

At the beginning of the sixth track, "
Still Life", the band included a hidden message which could only be understood by playing the song backwards.
This was a
joke and an intended swing back at the critics who had accused Iron Maiden of being Satanic.
The backwards-message features McBrain mimicking actor John Bird's impression of Idi Amin, uttering the following phrase
"What ho said the t'ing with the three 'bonce', do not meddle with things you don't understand...", followed by a belch.
The phrase itself is taken from the satirical album The Collected Broadcasts of Idi Amin (1975) by Bird and Alan Coren. "What ho" and "What ho said the t'ing" are phrases that also crop up regularly on McBrain's "Listen With Nicko!" tracks from The First Ten Years collection.
According to McBrain,
"We were sick and tired of being labelled as Devil worshippers and all this bollocks by these ****ing morons in the States, so we thought, 'Right, you want to take the piss? We'll show you how to take the bleeding piss, my son!' And one of the boys taped me in the middle of this Idi Amin routine I used to do when I'd had a few drinks. I remember it distinctly ended with the words, 'Don't meddle wid t'ings yo don't understand.' We thought, if people were going to be stupid about this sort of thing, we might as well give them something to be really stupid about, you know?"
