    not sure if it was only on the radio but had a feeling it was live on TV- Rage against the machine after getting to Christmas number 1. the presenter told them not to do the last part which has the words "fuck you i wont do what you tell me" which of course they didn't comply with and the BBC scrambled around to cut the live broadcast.
