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.

Me thinks that the group was sitting around the fire, passing the pipe around, and excluded the weenie, Weenus.

We have a cousin named Marîa (pronounced “Muh-RYE-uh”), and every year when we see her for the first time we always say “They call the wind... YOU.” She rolls her eyes in exasperation immediately thereafter.
Yes, she is named after that song.

When I lived in South Korea in 96-97, the song
San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair) was really popular, I'd hear it in Chuncheon's Myung-dong shopping district piped through the loudspeakers every time I went through there. I'd never even heard the song before and during my stay in Korea, I heard it enough for a lifetime. LMAO!
San Francisco, Disco version

I am sorry to inform you but C*ntry Roads is also very popular among European country fans and bands. Extremely disappointing.

If it had been anything by the Carpenters I would say “Not Guilty”.
But seriously how bad do you have to sing Country roads to deserve a bullet to the head.....
