20 Most Controversial Songs Of All Time

5. Marilyn Manson - Get Your Gunn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phjXoYqYE2U Marilyn Manson, a controversy magnet at the best of times, composed this little ditty at the beginning of his career. Inspired by the murder of OB/GYN doctor David Gunn (which accounts for the odd spelling in the song title) who was murdered by pro-life activist Michael Frederic Griffin in 1993. Marilyn Manson described his murder as "the ultimate hypocrisy, that these people killed someone in the name of being 'pro-life'". Most controversial of all is the inclusion of an audio snippet recorded at a press conference at which American politician Budd Dwyer shot himself, adding a morbid weight to the songs theme.; disturbing and sobering.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
