Years ago, I snuck Bleed by Meshuggah into my party playlist, and no one seemed to mind. Asked my gf about it and she said she wasn't really listening lol. Don't think I'll be able to top that one

Not sure if this counts, but I used to DJ at local bars and events. One evening, some guys had a bit too much and got into a brawl, so I put on Carl Douglas's "Kung Fu Fighting". People weren't as amused as I thought they'd be.

I can understand them not being amused - I imagine it was a little bit frightening.

In my defense, I was very, very drunk. People would bring me shots of Wild Turkey to play their song, and I took a lot of requests that night (note: I took requests for free but they brought me shots anyway).

My thought process was basically "refuge in audacity" and that a soundtrack might snap them out of whatever drunken rage they were in. Psychology wasn't my major if that puts things into perspective.
