Controversial for intense domestic abuse, violence, and murder.

When I first heard this I was scared, but to be honest its actually kinda hilarious

This song is ultra brutal and so really very controversial

Kurt Cobain made this as an anti-rape statement. He made it so blunt that nobody would misinterpret it.

Well of course it's controversial, it's a song about rape! Nirvana are pro-rape! They encourage it with this song!

It's considered an anti-rape song, stating that you can never kill anyone if you rape them.

Plus the single cover had a pregnant seahorse and it's a simple fact that male seahorses give birth (so this pretty much implies that even males of any species can get raped. Take that SJWs! ).

To the other commenter, this song isn’t pro rape, it’s against it. Controversial move from Nirvana regardless - Ethansics

Good song, but yes, this song makes you want to have sex, and the chorus, “ I wanna f**k you like an animal; I wanna feel you from the inside...” is so NOT for kids. Best lust anthem ever!

Because this song is sexy - Metalmaniakkk

I love this band

More like the music video was controversial.

I don't know how I got here but I think I must vote for him cause I'm 15 and a female who got influenced by him for 9 yrs and up till now I'm still hangover by his words, he is truly an intelligent man. his songs may be controversials and even his looks is odd to our parents well we have our own peculiar sides people who will insult him are true ape brains who haven't evolutionized up till now...stop ignorance people I'm so sick of it!

The song isn't even about committing suicide. And the parents of the teenager knew he suffered clinical depression. But it's always easier to blame someone else- especially a musician- than to be more involved in their kid's life and admit to being lousy parents because they weren't more involved. I'm glad the jury ruled in Ozzy's favor. What happened wasn't his fault.

Most of the songs on this list are here because of the video. This isn't the case with this one! - micdanchris

If you people thought Marilyn Manson influences bad behavior in his fans then take a look at this chick's song.

Actually an anti suicide song, but caused an individual to commit suicide

That still doesn't excuse what he did.

At least lil Wayne apologized for the Emmett Till lyric.

Controversial for the lyric "Beat that p**** up like Emmett Till! "

Controversial for the subject matter. The song deals with the attack from the perspective of a religious terrorist.

Controversial for its lyrics about anal sex.

This song is way more sexist than Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.
