A gunman in Thailand shot-dead eight neighbours, including his brother-in-law, after tiring of their karaoke versions of popular songs, including John Denver’s Country Roads.
Weenus Chumkamnerd, 52, put his gun to the head of a respected female doctor and seven of her guests as they partied at her home in Songkhla Province, South Thailand.
"When I began shooting nobody pleaded for his life because they were all drunk," he said after his arrest.
He said he was so furious with their awful singing that he did not notice he had murdered his own brother-in-law.
...
Country Roads is a hugely popular song in south east Asia and the neighbor said the revelers had been singing it over and over again.

That’s “khantly loads, take me home”
Trivia:
Q -What rock n’ roll legend was inducted into the Hall of Fame by John Denver, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and George Thorogood?
A - Chuck Berry.
That alone should have sparked a riot.
