Katy Perry<\/a>, \u201cI Kissed a Girl\u201d<\/p>\n

Katy Perry<\/a> had big success with \u201cI Kissed a Girl,\u201d but looking back, she might have worded things a little differently with what she knows now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was in 2008 when it came out. I think we\u2019ve really changed, conversationally, in the past 10 years. We\u2019ve come a long way. Bisexuality wasn\u2019t as talked about back then, or any type of fluidity,\u201d she said while reacting to a cover<\/a> for Glamour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had to write that song again, I probably would make an edit on it. Lyrically, it has a couple of stereotypes in it. Your mind changes so much in 10 years, and you grow so much. What\u2019s true for you can evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nirvana<\/a>, \u201cSmells Like Teen Spirit\u201d<\/p>\n

The late Kurt Cobain eventually grew to resent the band\u2019s big hit, and often refused to play it at live shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has focused on that song so much. The reason it gets a big reaction is people have seen it on MTV a million times. It\u2019s been pounded into their brains. But I think there are so many other songs that I\u2019ve written that are as good, if not better, than that song, like \u2018Drain You.\u2019 That\u2019s definitely as good as \u2018Teen Spirit\u2019. I love the lyrics, and I never get tired of playing it. Maybe if it was as big as \u2018Teen Spirit\u2019, I wouldn\u2019t like it as much,\u201d he told Rolling Stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Radiohead<\/a>, \u201cCreep\u201d<\/p>\n

The massive song also started to annoy the band, resulting in their refusal to play it live at shows. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe seemed to be living out the same four and a half minutes of our lives over and over again. It was incredibly stultifying,\u201d Johnny Greenwood said<\/a>, recalling that audience members would leave after it was played. Thom Yorke<\/a> also yelled \u201cF\u2013k off, we\u2019re tired of it\u201d at an audience at one point.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga<\/a>, \u201cDo What U Want (feat. R. Kelly<\/a>)\u201d<\/p>\n

While Lady Gaga kept a version of the song as a duet with Christina Aguilera<\/a>, the original version that appeared on ARTPOP with R. Kelly was removed amid allegations against the entertainer. <\/p>\n

\u201dI made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I was angry and still hadn\u2019t processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life,\u201d she revealed in a letter<\/a> before removing the song from streaming platforms.<\/p>\n
