For those who have long seen a connection between John Denver songs and the increasing homicide rate, a case in Thailand appears to offer concrete proof. The song was driving Weenus Chumkamnerd, 52, crazy as it was performed over and over again by his neighbors in karaoke parties. He finally snapped and killed all eight people.
For those interested in trying to find subliminal messaging, here are the lyrics.
Take Me Home Country Roads
Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
older than the trees
younger than the mountains
growin’ like a beeze
Ref.
Country Roads
take me home
to the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads
All my mem’ries
gather round her
Miner’s lady
stranger to blue water
dark and dusty
painted on the skies
misty taste of moonshine
teardrop in my eyes
Ref.
I hear her voice in the morning hours
she calls me
the radio reminds me of my home
far away
and drivin’ down the road I get a feeling
that I shoild have been home yesterday
yesterday
Ref. ’til fade
Take Me Home Country Roads
