London passengers were left stunned after a man claiming to have a gun jumped onto the tracks and started singing a UB40 song.

Bystanders watched as the man allegedly ‘ran up and down’ the tracks while belting out a song by the 80s band, reports Evening Standard.

People were asked to evacuate the station once British Transport Police and the Met arrived on the scene last night.

Ed Quigley tweeted: ‘I’m told there is a civilian, not wearing much, dancing on the train track singing UB40.

‘Armed police and at least 8 cars at an evacuated Lewisham Station.’

A 32-year-old man was arrested minutes later, police added.

If he wasn't drunk, then he's got serious problems. Who in their right mind would listen to UB40? They're a completely shitty band.

"Red Red Wine," UB40

Why it sucks: This is "reggae fusion." Ugh. Just typing out that sentence made me shudder. When you take a song from another horrible artist on this list (Neil Diamond) and make it worse, you have done a bad, bad thing. Then there's that awful little rap line thrown in towards the bridge –- red wine does not keep anyone rocking all of the time. It keeps boring adults at dinner parties talking about NPR interviews while eating fancy cheese.

Why you suck for liking it: You like the reggae version of a Neil Diamond song recorded by a British band. If you don't see what's wrong about that previous sentence, you deserve this song.

There was a metric ton of fantastic music from the 80s. UB40? Not so much.

No... not that one, either. Although Hal would disagree with me.
