Two reasons come to mind:
It’s a nihilistic song that gives the audience license to behave violently;
It’s a horrible song.

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling "My Way" in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the "My Way Killings."
Thanks DogByte6RER.

Sid Vicious knew how to take care of people who didn't like him singing My Way.
