Earlier this morning we were talking about Two and a Half Men star Angus T. Jones telling people not to watch the show. He was interviewed saying, "Please don't watch 'Two and a Half Men,'" he said. "I'm on 'Two and a Half Men' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth."

He's not the only artist that has disowned their work. For today's 9:30 Coffee Break we're going to focus on songs that have been disowned by the musicians who created them.

Songs Played:

R.E.M. - "Shiny Happy People"

Beastie Boys - "Fight for Your Right (to Party)"

Cat Stevens - "Wild World"

France Gall - "Les Sucettes"

Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
