The theme song from “Barney & Friends” has been blaring 24 hours a day for weeks on Palos Verdes Street in San Pedro.
There are about two dozen homeless individuals who have pitched tents on the sidewalk there, and they say the blaring kids’ music is a not-so-subtle way to get them to move.
“It’s psychological,” said Danielle Nunez of Street Watch LA, a mutual aid organization that helps the homeless. “It is to keep people up. They can’t have a quiet space and it’s playing at nighttime so that people literally cannot sleep.”
The vacant property is run by Jerico Development, Inc., and is used for filming.
“It’s hard,” said Reynalda Guterrez, who sleeps in a tent on Palos Verdes Street. “I mean, you hear Barney all day long, over and over and over again. With the lights blaring on you, you can’t get no sleep at night … You can’t talk to anybody.”
The music reaches 70 decibels at times, and is paired with bright flood lights.
“First the lights went on. They did that a few nights at first,” said Danel Love. “Then the music came on and it was loud … it’s traumatizing.”

The homeless need to go live in the yard of Danielle Nunez of Street Watch LA.
Baby Shark is freaking torture too.
The Barney song might actually qualify as cruel and unusual punishment. Ugh. These homeless bums are already suffering.
LOL, American ingenuity.
Protest !!!
Refuse to stay where theyre so rude !!!
Gather your friends and do a walkout !!!
Tell them youre not coming back to that establishment and youre going to tell all youre other friends to avoid the place too !!!
There was a teenager in a coma two or three years. The staff played a Barney tape everyday for stimulation. Surprisingly, he came out of the coma and one of the early things he said was “You can’t believe how much I hate Barney.”
Never heard of it. Must be bad; even my computer refused to play it.
Today's homeless are mostly there by choice. Drug addicts, alcoholics, mental cases, etc. They get free food, free medical care, free needles, free walking around money. They are parasites, petty criminals, deviants, the scum of society.
I love it!
John Jacob jingle Heimer Schmidt is Up on that list as well.
Should be alternated with choruses of “It’s a Small World” and “Flight of the Bumblebee” for best results.
I’d probably want to drop a deuce on the sidewalk after a night of that.
Definitely it is.
The Song That Never ends could probably get rid of them in one day.
... as performed by Bill Shatner?
Baby Shark is freaking torture too.
