I once got asked to play I Predict A Riot at a Territorial Army dinner.
Oh, boy, what an eveningthat turned out to be! The CO came in, told me to turn the music off and his voice almost set the sound limiter off. He must have had a right queue outside his office onMonday morning!!
St Cecelia - that takes me back as it was around when we were all at school. Well, it was fun trying to get it to work!

More applicable 'back in the day' than now, but Ballroom Blitz had a habit of kicking things off, it was banned in almost all of the places I played.

A couple of glasses of Claret at the local wine bar and a taxi home and an early night more like!
I would say killing in the name of would be a bad idea with the wrong crowd.
System of a down, some greenday, basically any angry rock.
And Darude - Sandstorm.
It crops up quite a few times on the 'songs that make people fight' forum/question posts on Google.

Strange that with years of playing SOAD, Greenday and other ‘angry rock’ (as you put it) at a pub residency and many private parties and weddings I’ve never seen it kick off, in fact that sort of audience are probably the least hassle ever.
And if by the ‘wrong crowd’ you mean people who don’t like SOAD etc then why on earth would you be playing it to them anyway?
I think you’ve totally missed the mark on this.

Bearing in mind that a lot of folk getting married now are of the 'pop punk' generation of the naughties, I have never seen anybody kick off to Blink 182, Green Day, Sum 41, Arctic Monkeys, Electric Six et al. Proper student night anthems!

Not quite songs that cause "fights", but certainly end up with someone falling over/stuff getting knocked over:
Madness - Baggy Trousers/One Step Beyond - lots of drunk men moving around very fast never ends well
Also, at a total skew to this thread, I get very uncomfortable with playing (I've Had) The Time of My Life when a group is of a particularly "type". The attempted lift scene never works out!
My bar days have left my quite conscious that we're partly responsible for the behaviour of the guests - if they're all very drunk and we're playing the "wrong" songs, we can create less than ideal situations. So I'll try and use the music to control of mood of the guests - not get them too worked up/excited.
