Michael Jackson was accused of antisemitism by the New York Times after the release of this song which contains the lyrics: "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me; Kick me, kike me, don't you black or white me".

Although intending to write a song highlighting the problem of racism and prejudice, it was felt that Michael's choice of words made the message too subtle for a young audience. Michael issued a statement saying how upset he was that he had been accused of antisemitism and apologised to anyone who had been offended by his choice of words.

Answer: Ugly Kid Joe

Ugly Kid Joe are a Californian band formed in 1989 who named themselves as a spoof of the band Pretty Boy Floyd. Both "Everything About You" and "Cats in the Cradle" are featured on their album, "America's Least Wanted".

The cover of this album originally featured a drawing of the band's mascot as the Statue of Liberty but with the middle finger of his right hand extended. Some record shops refused to sell the album with this cover, and an alternative cover picture was drawn featuring the band's mascot gagged and restrained by ropes and chains, with his right hand covered in sticky tape.

7. "Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity? I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face How quickly I was replaced And are you thinking of me when you..."

Answer: You Oughta Know

"You Oughta Know" is commonly thought to have been written by Ms Morissette following her break up from stand-up comedian, Dave Coulier. It was nominated for three Grammys in 1996, winning two of them for 'Best Rock Song' and 'Best Female Rock Vocal Performance'.

It peaked at Number six in the Billboard Hot 100, and in December 2007 the song was ranked at Number 12 in the VH1 '100 Greatest Songs of the 90s'.

8. "_______, I'm coming to kill you, always hated you and I still do You'll never fill my shoes, my Superman costume Doesn't even fit you" Perhaps one of the most angry music artists of all time, this rapper has a lot of things to get off his chest, from his neglectful, drug-abusing mother to his turbulent relationship with his money-grabbing ex-wife. He is known by three different names. What is he more commonly known as?

Answer: Eminem

These lyrics are from the song, "Medicine Ball" from Eminem's 2009 album, "Relapse". The lyrics refer to Christopher Reeve who was famous for depicting Superman on-screen but became paralysed from the neck down after falling from a horse. Eminem name-checks Reeve in a number of his songs in a way that could be considered very 'close to the bone' but has stated that he has "no beef" with him in reality.

Despite many incidents of controversy throughout his career, Eminem has 13 Grammys and has earned every one of them with his lyrical genius.
