2009: Rage Against The Machine don't do what we told them - 5 Live at 30

US rockers Rage Against The Machine perform hit song 'Killing In The Name' on 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live Breakfast with the 'correct' lyrics, despite promising not too.

The track, which was initially released in November 1992, took 17 years to reach the top spot in the UK charts when a campaign was organised to block a single from the television show X Factor from taking the Christmas Number 1, as it had done for a consecutive four years.
