Lol. I have to agree with His Honor, listening to Manilow would probably torture for me !

I haven't tried Manilow, but I have punished middle-schoolers by making them watch Barney videos. Is that evil, or what? wink

I used to make my middleschoolers (when I was teaching) wear Burger King crowns as hall passes to go to the bathroom (aka "the throne room"). I found that biology conformed quickly to social pressure.

Had not thought about music, though. Barney is cruel...

You guys are cracking me up! laugh

There is some precedence for this in our recent invasion of Iraq the army blasted heavy metal music at something like 150 decibels to frighten the Iraqi soldiers.

Mothers?!?

Perhaps I am dating myself here, but Barry Quite Contrary was around when I was a teen.

"I remember all my life
rainin' down as cold as ice
shadows of a man,
a face through a window,
crying in the night,
as night goes into mornin's just another day
(bass - boo, booo, boo, bah)
happy people pass my way
looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
how happy you made me, O Mandy!"

Ok - I have to start my mental "Scorpions LP" just to reclaim my equilibrium...

"I'm still loving yooooooou!"

Now back to your regular scheduled program.

I don't get the "your mothers" part.

Does this refer to just Secret Squirrel or all of us. If so, my mother definitely does NOT love Manilow. She prefers Steve Perry from Journey and Freddie Mercury from Queen! biggrin
