The Super Bowl halftime show is the most entertaining pee break in all of sports. World-famous musicians give dazzlingly elaborate performances while TV viewers rush to empty their overloaded bladders. There have been plenty of memorable shows over the years, but few have garnered more attention than the 2004 duet by Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

Even if you didn't already know, you can probably guess that the New England Patriots played in that Super Bowl and won. But the entire game was overshadowed by an impromptu anatomy lesson. During halftime Jackson and Timberlake did a rendition of "Rock Your Body," which concludes with the line, "Gonna have you naked by the end of this song." At the end of the song Timberlake removed the fabric from Jackson's chest, thus fulfilling the musical prophecy.

Jackson's lady lump was visible for less than a second, per USA Today, and both she and Timberlake insisted the whole thing was a "wardrobe malfunction." Regardless, fuddy-duddies everywhere were furious. CBS, which broadcast the Super Bowl, got slapped with a $55,000 fine which was later overturned. A Tennessee woman filed a class-action lawsuit against the singers, CBS, and CBS' parent company, claiming that she along with millions of viewers endured "outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury." She eventually dropped her case.
