Barry Manilow Used to Deter Noise Makers
Filed under: Weird But True
I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. A judge in Fort Lupton, Colorado recently decided to really get some rowdy teenaged noise makers to change their ways by forcing them to listen to Barry Manilow. No, seriously--it's true.
Municipal Judge Paul Sacco sentenced --- kids to listen the vocal stylings of none other than the man who brought us Copa Cabana (oh, you love it--you know you do) after they were found guilty of violating noise ordinances. The wayward youth had, in the past, merely paid the fines for such offenses and then went right back to making noise. Clearly these teenagers had not learned their lesson.
According to a source, Judge Sacco doesn't mind Manilow so much. According to Sacco, who sentences the kids to listen to Barry for an hour, noise has been reduced in their small town. Would you be deterred?

Laura - Dashin Fashion Global Kids Clothes Magazine said...I have to admit that when my now 12 year old daughter was 7 she heard a Barry Manilow song in a movie and begged us to buy the disk!
She loved that song "Mandy"...it made me laugh every time we put the disk on hearing her sing along to Barry Manilow.
I think I'll put it on again for her and see how she reacts! She does keep the volume down when she listens to music so maybe it works :-)!
