And of course John Denver got plenty of requests for his hit song. Here, courtesy of John Denver's official Youtube page, watch him sing it live all the way from Japan in 1981, when the song was just 10 years old.


"Country Roads" has even made it to The Voice a time or two, including here on the BBC's The Voice UK clip, and everyone loved it so much they forgot what they were supposed to be doing!


Do you know of the videogame Fallout? It's based in West Virginia, and it pays homage to the state it's chosen for its inspiration with this version of "Country Roads" as one of its theme songs, shared by Youtube user Bethesda Softworks Music.
