"Snowblind" is a song by Styx that appears on the Paradise Theater album released in 1981. It was an anti-cocaine song written by Dennis DeYoung and James Young with some lyrics by Tommy Shaw though he did not take credit in the end for his helping on the lyrics. This song sparked controversy when the California State Legislature and later Tipper Gore's PMRC claimed that the song's lyrics were "Satanistic" and contained backwards messages. The line "I try so hard to make it so" supposedly said backwards was "Satan move through our voices," although visual inspection reveals this is not the case. The PMRC also lobbied for a bill to get warning labels about such messages on record labels. Styx later dismissed these claims as baseless. They created the concept album Kilroy Was Here as a response to the California ruling.
