"Better by You, Better than Me" is a 1969 song by the English rock band Spooky Tooth. The song appeared on the album Spooky Two and was composed by keyboardist Gary Wright. In 1990, a 1978 cover version by heavy metal band Judas Priest was the subject of a much-publicized "subliminal message trial". The lawsuit alleged that the band's recording contained hidden messages which were responsible for influencing a pair of young men in Sparks, Nevada, to make a suicide pact in 1985. The case was eventually dismissed.

En 1990, la version de Judas Priest s'est retrouvée au centre du très médiatisé « procès du message subliminal ». Le groupe faisait l'objet d'une action civile alléguant que leur chanson était responsable des conduites suicidaires de deux jeunes hommes à Reno en 1985. Les plaignants ont finalement été déboutés.

  • Better By You, Better Than Me è una canzone degli Spooky Tooth, scritta dal tastierista Gary Wright. La canzone divenne però famosa per la cover che ne fece il gruppo metal inglese Judas Priest e per il processo del 1990 in cui questi ultimi vennero accusati di aver condotto al suicidio due giovani ragazzi americani, attraverso una serie di messaggi subliminali immessi nella canzone che secondo l'accusa sarebbero avvertibili ascoltando il disco al contrario. Alla fine del processo, la band venne assolta poiché, secondo il giudice, gli ipotetici messaggi nascosti non sono dovuti ad altro che ad una combinazione di suoni e di parole. (it)
