We've all been there, the failed handshake that morphs horrifically into a guarded hug and then into an unwanted kiss on the cheek. Maybe you were too eager, maybe you didn't want to be touched. Either way it's bloody awkward you think as you sit there in the moment where you and your embarrassed accomplice sheepishly shuffle away from one another pretending nothing ever happened.
Hug? Who me? No. Surely not.
Bono and P Diddy embodied this experience perfectly with their epic failure of a congratulatory hug at the Golden Globes this week. We all recoiled in horror when we saw the two men in a moment of utter culture clash confusion. Here are 10 more moments in music that have achieved the same levels of soul splitting social cryptonite.
