"Secret Messages" is a song recorded by Electric Light Orchestra.

The song is the title track (and opening track) of the 1983 album "Secret Messages". The song starts off with strange effects and backmasked voices (saying "welcome to the show") then a burst of morse code spelling out E.L.O before the song properly kicks in. The song and indeed album were recorded very much tongue in cheek with Jeff Lynne's love of hidden messages in songs.
