"Exciter" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest, from their 1978 album Stained Class. It is the opening track and is an early example of speed metal.

During the 1990 civil action brought against the band, "Exciter" was played backwards to the court. Lead vocalist Rob Halford demonstrated, when played in reverse, that the song appeared to contain the phrase: "I asked for a peppermint, I asked for her to get one." This action showed that by playing any song in reverse, phrases could be formed by the human brain. The same point applied to "Better By You, Better Than Me", which had a sound that could be interpreted as "do it".
