“Better by You, Better Than Me” (Judas Priest)

The Song That Proved Subliminal Messaging Is Weak
Can a song drive you to suicide? In 1990, the heavy metal band Judas
Priest was accused of prompting two drunk Reno, Nev., youths to shoot 
themselves after repeatedly listening to “Better By You, Better Than Me.”
(One died instantly; the other survived after blowing half his face off.)
 Did the lyric “Do it,” allegedly hidden in the song, push them over the edge?
 Experts testified on both sides, but the judge dismissed the case, ruling, 
“The scientific research presented does not establish that subliminal stimuli,
even if perceived, may precipitate conduct of this magnitude.” The precedent
 hasn’t been challenged since. As lead singer Rob Halford later noted, he
had no reason to ask fans to commit suicide. If anything, he’d issue the 
command, “Buy more of our records.”
