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.

Check out this video to see this famous moment of SNL history reprised with the help of the Beastie Boys nearly 22 years later.
