Without meaning to in the slightest, a tweet of ours sort of started a Twitter war between two artists a few days ago and yesterday, one of them issued an apology.

Children's Entertainer Raffi has apologized to The New Pornographers for publicly objecting to their band name, saying, "In a fleeting moment I reacted to a word, which I wrote about in my book 'Lightweb Darkweb'. My Tweet was without context, on a gig night, Not cool. I apologize, Meant no disrespect to the band, its music, or its fans. RC."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that apologize?
