This is a question Heckles

Forget the drunk bloke at the back yelling incoherent nonsense. Sometimes a well placed heckle can raise a mediocre act to a brilliant night out.
Tell us your best heckles and, if you are brave, the retorts that put you back in your place like the maggot you are.

And one from my goth days
There used to be a gothy band in Nottingham called Faithful Dawn, and me and my friends were kind of into their lead singer SarahJane. Anyway, we bought the album and one of their songs was this tune called Neverwhere. The chorus ran something like:
"I'm going down to Neverwhere...
I don't know 'cause I've never been there before
I'm escaping you"

Now it occurred to us that there was something missing from this chorus, in that there was a gap between the first and second lines and the second line began with an apparent non-sequitur, so we decided to make our own fun. We'd be stood at the front and when they got to the chorus it usually ran something like:

"I'm going down to Neverwhere"
"Where is it?"
"I don't know 'cause I've never been there before
I'm escaping you
I'm going down to Neverwhere"
"Are there any good pubs there?"
"I don't know 'cause I've never been there before
I'm escaping you"

To their credit they were very tolerant of this sort of thing - I still have both CDs that they signed for us after the show and had quite a good chat with them at the 1998 Carnival of Souls.
