I once read an interview with Norwegian/Swedish rap metal or whatever group Clawfinger; they scored a minor hit with their somewhat provocatively named 'Nigger' - the message being something along the lines of the N word being a white invention to denigrate coloured people &c, the chorus simply being "Niggerniggahniggahniggah" or something like it. (Wonder if the HN content management system lets me get away with this...)
Anyway, the singer mentioned they had once been approached by a number of obvious neo-nazis after a gig, and he pretty much thought this was it - they were in for a serious beating at best.
Much surprise arose as shoulder-slapping and bear hugs ensued. "Awww, we love that Nigger song of yours, it is amazing the way you get away with it!" (Muted thanks and head for the tour bus. Double haste.)
