A gunman in Thailand shot-dead eight neighbours, including his brother-in-law, after tiring of their karaoke versions of popular songs, including John Denvers 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.

John Denver? Well, ok, the murders are justified.
Come to think of it, can you imagine a bunch of drunk Thai karaoke singing to John Denver? I might have put the gun to my head instead of 8 others, but who knows!
Musth. If you're an elephant.
99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer...
Weenus is the Asian name for Wayne. hehe
I can understand the sentiment and from my one recent experience in a karaoke bar, actually witnessed a person being driven to stand up and repeatedly holler “karaoke sucks” at the top of his lungs. I applauded him.
If it had been Barry Manilow, he would have destroyed half of Bangkok.
Yikes!
Monty Python had a bit called Farewell to John Denver in which they imagined the sound of him getting strangled. I believe it was deleted from future pressings of the album due to a legal
complaint...
Not guilty.
Stop it! Stop it I say!
“Little Darling”
>You must be a real cutie,or just a joker<<
Sadly, its been a long time since I was cute... :(
Aaarrrggghh!
Stop it! I’m getting sick.
(But this thread is too funny!)
I actually thought he was very talented musician and was a icon for country music.
Too bad he went out like he did, at least it wasn't some form of self emoting drug/drunk induced celebrity washed up death scene
What the hell IS a Weenus Chunkemnerd?
I’m sure,no cutie here either,if ever,,these people are dead.
Maybe it’s these others that are jokers,until it hits home.
I’m sorry but Don Ho records are far more enraging than Barry’s. ... And I thought the experimental plane John wrecked had the propeller in the back.
