10 Incredibly Successful Tracks Their Creators Actually Hate

3. Beastie Boys - "Fight For Your Right to Party"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBShN8qT4lk Written by the late Adam Yauch as a parody of frat boy culture, "Fight for Your Right to Party" ended up being arguably the biggest regret of the Beasties' career, if only because it became precisely the thing they had been trying to mock. In band member Mike D's estimation, "Fight for Your Right" was one of those songs that fell victim to misunderstanding and irony. "The only thing that upsets me is that we might have reinforced certain values of some people in our audience when our own values were actually totally different," Mike D once said of the track. Indeed, not long after its release, "Fight for Your Right to Party" became a part of the musical rotation that frat boys were playing and singing along to at parties. Many male listeners from the college-aged subset simply failed to realise that the song had been written specifically to skewer their scene, and the misinterpretation has continued to this day.
