John Otways version of "House of the Rising Sun", is one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed.
Mr Otways following are very aware that he treats the song , very much like a political debate.
For example...
J.O "There is a house in new orleans"
Audience "Whats it called??"
J.O."Its called the rising sun!"
Now, when I first saw him do this, a member of the audience, shouted out the wrong response to one of the lines, I think it was "whats it been?", referring to "The ruin of many a poor man", or whatever it is..
And John perfectly retorted..."now back to your question...!" after answering with the correct line first.
Pure brilliance.
And whilst we are on the subject of annoying songs, much as I love Pink Floyd,... "Dogs of War", yuk.

Informer by Snow is pure crap

Mambo Number 5, Blue (Eiffel65), Islands in the stream is bloody awful too, though the Bess Gees are allowed one bad song.

and Come On Eileen by Dexys. It always signified the start of "crap hour for the pissed up lads" in your local cheesey club.
