CHEESY crooner Barry Manilow was unveiled yesterday as a weapon in the fight against teen mobs.

Council chiefs say shops should pump out uncool songs such as Barry’s Mandy to scare kids away.

The Local Government Association found this was a big hit in Australia and drew up a hit-list of bad-taste tunes.

The move came as Children’s Commissioner Sir Al Aynsley-Green called to ban the Mosquito device, which emits a high-pitched sound that only under-25s can hear.

THE NAFF TOP FIVE:

1. Mandy – Barry Manilow;

2. Please Release Me – Engelbert Humperdinck

Barry "Maniloween" is one scary dude...

(Barry) Manilow Sparks Political Feud with TV Show (The View)

Pop singer Barry Manilow, a major Democratic fundraiser, said on Monday he has scrapped plans to appear on the television talk show “The View,” because he did not want to be interviewed by its conservative co-host.

Manilow was scheduled to appear on the ABC morning show Tuesday, the same day his new album, “The Greatest Songs of the Seventies” hits stores. But those plans fell through because of his issues with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, an abortion opponent and supporter of the Iraq war.

“I had made a request that I be interviewed by (co-hosts) Joy (Behar), Barbara (Walters) or Whoopi (Goldberg), but not Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request so I bowed out,” he said in a statement on his Web site (http://www.manilow.com).

“It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs.”

So they are still using sounds unbearable to people under 25?

How old do you need to be not driven away?

Did he end that rant with Hail Satan by any chance and he walked away clinking in his new man made hips?

[Paleo Conservative]

Cruel and unusual punishment!

"I will always love you" beats "Mandy".

4 out o f 5 roach exterminators agree.

“It’s really too bad because I’ve always been a big supporter of the show, but I cannot compromise my beliefs.”

I take that to mean that he didn't want to compromise the perception that his beliefs are valid by exposing them to tough questions by someone who doesn't ascribe to those beliefs themselves.

Kind of like using compromise in the same way as "to undermine".

Cruel and unusual punishment!

Worse than "Waterboarding"!

::Sigh:: I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

Barry Manilow, a Hero of the Seventies . . . a lefty??? Say it ain't so!!!

What's next . . . Benji endorses Obama?

DFU SONG: Copa Cabana (Peter Paul and friends scam poor Fidel Castro)

MIDI - COPA CABANA

His name was Peter...no friend of Castro
One day some spooks were at his door...he asked what they were there for
An operation...they thought he'd like it
They told him it was very slick...disappearing coffee trick
They said, "What do you say...we need your help today"
Peter thought it was quite intriguing...he was on his way

Fidel Castro, down in Havana
When he found out, he went bananas
Fidel Castro, relieved of money
Somehow he didn't think it was so funny
Fidel Castro...got taken good

The phantom cargo needed a freighter
They purchased an old one that sucks...just 800,000 bucks
The deal's in motion out on the ocean
The plan was going very well, but it soon would go to hell
They failed to bribe one guy...and the plan went awry
When they couldn't scuttle the freighter, then down came the sky

Fidel Castro, down in Havana
When he found out, he went bananas
Fidel Castro, relieved of money
Somehow he didn't think it was so funny
Fidel Castro...got taken good

(musical break)

Fidel exploded...he lost a bundle
He didn't get his coffee beans...and you should have heard him scream
"Who did this to me? Who would dare screw me?
I'll get the guy who pulled this off...at me the whole world has scoffed
I want the bastard shot...get the best men we've got"
But in a parking lot by the airport, Peter foiled the plot

Fidel Castro, down in Havana
When he found out, he went bananas
Fidel Castro, relieved of money
Somehow he didn't think it was so funny
Fidel Castro...got taken good...got taken good

[Revolting cat!]

Give the gay blade some credit - at least he doesn't sing Feeeeeeeelins or My Way!

[Paleo Conservative]

Maybe if you substituted gasoline for water.

this was supposed to be classical music's niche. Everything's going downhill fast.

MANDY

I remember all my life…I have faced a lot of strife
When I just had won that Senate fight
I thought everything was going to be all right

Now here we go, another day…documents must go away
If they were revealed, it’s my legacy
I had needed help in hiding the history

(Oh) Sandy… you marched in and then you began stealing
That’s a real gutsy play
Oh, Sandy…and once more we had right wingers reeling
They’re still flustered today…oh, Sandy

I had planned things carefully…and I set it up for Hillary
If it all came out, I’d live in fear
She would not accept, another “Sorry, dear”

One day I asked and you came through
You did what nobody else could do
There was that thing regarding bin Laden
Some people had screamed that something was rotten

Oh, Sandy… you marched in and then you began stealing
That’s a real gutsy play
Oh, Sandy…and once more we had right wingers reeling
They’re still flustered today…oh, Sandy

I proved once again that I’m resilient
Memos in your pants…now, that’s really brilliant

Oh, Sandy…you marched in and then you began stealing
That’s a real gutsy play
Oh, Sandy…and once more we had right wingers reeling
They’re still flustered today

Oh, Sandy… you marched in and then you began stealing
That’s a real gutsy play
Oh, Sandy…and once more we had right wingers reeling
They’re still flus-tered today

COMING NEXT: Out of Time

Oh, man, I can't believe nobody has made a play for 'Manilow' and 'blow' being in the same headline yet. Must be a slow night. LOL

LOL!
