The infamous Radio Radio incident on Saturday Night Live where Costello promised he wouldn't play the song (NBC didn't like its obviously radio industry-critical lyrics and or there was a conflict with Columbia Records wanting him to play a different song). He played it anyway, putting show off schedule and Lorne Michaels would make sure he didn't appear on the show again for another twelve years.
