20. The Shamen: 'Ebeneezer Goode' – The most controversial British number one of the 1990s due to its overt reference to new club drug ecstasy ("E's are good, E's are good, he's Ebeneezer Goode"), the track was banned by the BBC and made the Scottish dance collective the scourge of the tabloid press. Not content with just ecstasy, the track also references marijuana with the line “Has anyone got any Vera's - cockney rhyming slang for spliff skins from 'Vera Lynn(s)'. Somewhat ironically, 'Ebeneezer Goode' climbed to number one in the UK charts two weeks after its release while the BBC were running a drug's awareness week.

Seemed like a good idea at the time: ten career disasters
The top ten music comebacks we would happily do without
- Reel around the fountain, dead skin mask are another two. You can do loads of these.
- lol..Kil slit her wrists....but did Eminem do such a gay thing when Kim was fuking another guy..NOPE...he was a man..he punched him like a normal loving husband would
- Bodycount played that track live at Leeds Festival a few years ago - don't agree with the lyrics but it's damn catchy :D
- surprised that there is no rammstein on this list!
Who the heck made this list. Are you telling me that Used to Love Her is more controversial than One in a Million? Used to Love Her wasn't taken seriously by anyone that matters but One in a Million (an awesome song) peed off the world. Although even those that disagree with itknow that it is one B.A. rockin' tune.
