Authorities in West Palm Beach, Florida are using children’s music to deter the homeless from setting up camp in a city-owned park.
West Palm Beach Lake Pavilion is a city-owned park and event venue frequently used by the homeless as a place to sleep. City officials are now playing the children’s songs “Baby Shark” and “Raining Tacos” in the park to annoy homeless campers, preventing them from sleeping, according to the Palm Beach Post.
“Legally morally ethically and even fiscally, any way you look at it, this [music] is not the right approach to this [homelessness] problem,” said Eric Tars, legal director at National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty told The Daily Caller.
“Sleep deprivation has been condemned as torture or at a minimum cruel, inhuman degrading treatment,” continued Tars. “It was condemned when they were playing loud rock music in Guantanamo or in Abu Ghraib to disrupt the detainees’ sleep patterns, and now we’re doing it to citizens,” he added.

Fortunately, it’s not an ear-worm, so I completely forgot about it.
Looked it up to refresh my memory, and did you know somebody put a 10 hour version on YT?
How about a few million bars of “This is the song that never ends”?
Cackling uncontrollably !!
Actually, this would be a high budget, all star cast movie Mars Attacks! In this case the Martians were defeated when country music caused their heads to explode.
Re: “Afternoon Delight”
The last time I watched any more than two minutes of the Grammy awards, The Starland Vocal Band won a grammy, and I changed the channel, and never deliberately tuned in again.
I’m going to make “Raining Tacos” my new ringtone.
Having looked into the matter and considered the complaints, we have decided to change the music we play at the parks. The new music will be “Itsy, Bitsy, Teeny, Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini”.
Anything by Nickelback or Cold Play would do the trick.
Here's my bona fides, I've walked the walk, my tales were legendary on the old FReeoples threads:
-Morning- *grumble* ¡snap!We had a homeless Thanksgiving here last night. Kenya spent the whole day cooking her first turkey (She was VERY basted when she started, had sobered up by the time I got home) The turkey was great. We had about 30 or so of her homeless and more or less homeless friends over. A good time was had by all.
I'm still in my room. I'm a bit concered about what I'll see when I open my door...
Go kill yourself. I hate you.
It gets better!..................
What’s wrong with the Hamster Dance? I loved it when it first came out, and love it still.
But then, I can turn it off.

You’d think homeless people would love it.
Yoko Ono. What a repulsive person. No wonder the other Beatles couldn’t stand her!
Whitney Houston - “I Will Always Love You” on an endless loop.
“It gets better!..................”
Oh, yeah! Hours on end playing the marching music at the Electric Light Parade. Justifiable homicide (or suicide).
“City officials are now playing the children’s songs “Baby Shark””
And the next 3 hours will be that stuck in my head again.
Nothing cruel about it. Want to sleep? Keep moving.
Annnnnnnd now I have Hampster Dance stick in my head.
