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.

Anyone with a name like that was going to go postal sooner or later. He was a ticking time bomb.
Sing this great John Denver classic: "Thank God I'm an Ocean Buoy!"

They have a traditional rage disease in that region. Most regions have them in some form. Don’t recall what they call it but if anybody is interested it is there for the lookup.

**John Denver?***
The first time I heard and saw John Denver was on a tv special called BIGHORN! In which he travels to the Rocky Mountains with a guide to photograph sheep.
He also sang several songs. It was so bad I had to turn off the sound just to enjoy the mountain views.

They say that song is very popular after a few rounds in an Irish pub, as well.
Anyway, at least they weren't singing "Feelings."

This is not something we typically ping about. But have you ever heard of such a thing like this before? It boggles my mind.
