City hopes ‘Baby Shark’ song will drive homeless away
Miami Herald ^ | July 17, 2019

. Officials in West Palm Beach are hoping a continuous loop of children's songs played throughout the night will keep homeless people from sleeping on the patio of a city-owned rental banquet facility.

West Palm Beach parks and recreation director Leah Rockwell tells the Palm Beach Post they're trying to discourage people from sleeping outside the glass-walled Waterfront Lake Pavilion, which she says rakes in some $240,000 annually from events.

The loop of "Baby Shark" and "Raining Tacos" is a temporary fix to keep homeless people off the patio. Rockwell says the city wants to formalize hours for the facility, which should make trespassing laws easier to enforce.

Trying to address a symptom by forcing the problem on someone else, not solving it. Involuntary commitment and treatment for the mentally ill and chemically dependent.

I don't think West Palm Beach Parks and Recreation is permitted to do this.

Great choices. I had never heard “The Viper” or “The Cramp” before. “Hooty Sapperticker” was actually a hit in Southern California—but probably nowhere else.

“The Cramp” was a comedy turn by Jim Dale, who was featured in “Carry On” films at that time - in addition to his illustrious career on stage and screen was briefly a UK teen idol in the late 50s under the aegis of George Martin. Co-writer of “Georgy Girl” with Dusty’s brother, Harry Potter narrator, there’s seemingly nothing he couldn’t do

I would go with “Paralyzed” by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

Not an option: allowing the homeless to live, eat, urinate, defecate, masturbate, get high, infect or be infected, and create mountains of trash on the street.

Sounds like bloggers.
