His name was Barry
He was a showboy
But that was thirty years ago
When he used to do the show
Now it's a talkshow
But not for Barry
Still in the suit he used to wear
Faded gel streaks in his hair
He won't return their call
No matter how they crawl
He lost his slot
And he lost his marbles
But he's found Ron Paul
He can't cope-a
Cope-a with Hassel
The toughest chick west of Newcastle
Not like Rosie
Rosie O'Donnell
Barry knows she'll melt
When he brings up steel melt
He can't cope-a
He lost his slot...
Paul Shanklin, in Memphis. ‘Nuf said....
My favorite “Barry Manilow” song is the one Ray Stevens wrote making fun of him.
rry to Elizabeth.
My eyes Abhored You
My eyes abhored ya
Though you never laid a hand on me
My eyes abhored ya
Keep that conservative away from me
You couldn’t see how I adbhored ya
So close, close and yet so far right
I burned your books you fool
Playin’ “make-believe you agreed with me”
You were frist rate, I was third
When we came to TV
Coming into homes every day from New York to San Fran Bay
Still a few watching me and you
Go our separate ways
Headed for a big fight
I fell from the ladder to fortune and fame
I worked my jaws to the bone
Made myself a name
Funny I seemed to find
That no matter how the years unwind
Still I reminisce ‘bout that girl I miss
And the TV show I left behind
HA, Mark Steyn ping.
I saw him on last years American idol and he looked terrible.
LYRICS TO : I NEED YOUR HELP BARRY MANILOW
My account is overdrawn, my car slid down the hill
I’m givin’ up, I’ve got no more to give
My beagle bit the vet, and my daughter’s on the pill
And my ficus plant has lost it’s will to live
I owe Mastercharge my life, I’ve got adolescent skin
My doctor says I can’t use any salt
My waist is getting thick, but my hair is getting thin
And my house is on the San Andreas fault...
I need your help, Barry Manilow
I’m miserable and I don’t know what to do
Sing me a song, sing it sad and low
No one knows how to suffer quite like you
My shrink is out of town, my love life is a joke
My ex-wife sold my diary to Rona
All my ashtrays are overflowed, and I don’t even smoke
And my sinuses came back from Arizona...
(Spoken) “Hello, Mandy? It’s me. I’m here at the Copa. You know, the Copacabana. I know I don’t write the songs that make the whole world sing but I do know one thing, Mandy... I can’t smile without you.... Forget Lola.... Remember that weekend in New England? I thought then that this could be the magic at last... Now here I am... Tryin’ to get the feelin’ again!”
I need your help, Barry Manilow
I’m all alone and sitting on a shelf
Sing me a song, sing it sad and low
I feel like feeling sorry for myself
I need your help, Barry Manilow
Your songs can really comfort the unlucky
Sing me a song, sing it sad and low
I wish I didn’t have to feel so yucky...
I wish I didn’t have to feel...
So yucky!!!
Thank you! I thought I was the only one that remembered that! I heard Ray Stevens had a hand in re-writing that “Ballad of New Orleans” post-Katrina parody, which was hilarious.
My favorite is still “Shriners Convention...”
A woman of no depth. That’s me.
Very fine. and brainy. Brainy men turn me on. Some women like this or that physical feature. Give me a guy who whispers sweet nothings into my ear about science or history (non-revisionist) and I just melt.
“Yeah, but I saw Wayne Brady shoot a crack dealer on Chappelle’s show.”
That was a funny bit. Even Brady knows he’s no Magic Negro.
You and me both. I told my better half if Charles Krauthammer was single, I’d be moving to D.C. and stalking the poor man.
It’s frightening the level of intolerance on the left that is tolerated. What happened to agreeing to disagree?
The political tone in this country is growing scarier every day.
LOL!!! ROTFL!!!!
I have to admit, that’s a stretch, even for me.
He shoots crack dealers, but always with a smile on his face.

LOL, very nice!! Bookmarking. Barry is acting like a big baby, I think he’s trying to make something out of nothing and get his 15 minutes, get back in the news.
I like your tag line.
I’m originally from Goldsboro, N.C.
Like anyone who watches that drivel was sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for gay Barry to share his political views with the world! What a bunch of idiots in Hollywood! So self important.
You poor girl. I used to live in Mtn View. Husband’s last duty station was Moffett Field. (now Ames Research Center) I enjoyed, it but that was because I always knew I was leaving and coming back down south.
Where i live now is the opposite. It’s a great place to live, but you wouldn’t want to visit here. haha!
Thank you!! Glad I’m not the only female who melts over Krauthammer!
And STEYN of course!!
