Tape recorders were commonly used to record messages for business or personal use. Devices such as the Walkman were commonly used to play back the audio recorded on cassette tapes. In 1955, Marty used his Walkman to playback a recording of an electric guitar solo, labeled "Van Halen", to scare his future father, George McFly, into asking Lorraine Baines to go with him to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
