6. Egad. I'm going to have "Mandy" in my head all bloody night

I will be at the MeetUp, and I'll end up asking Gary Kohlenberg if, as Congressman, he plans on coming and giving without taking.

Thank you.

[Whitacre D_WI]

7. I don't want to think of Gary "coming."

8. As one who married in the summer of seventy-eight

I really liked his album "Summer of Seventy-Eight", and especially liked the little short intro piece called "Summer of Seventy-Eight".

10. I am truly sorry to have to say this to a fellow DUer, but honestly...

Barry sucks...he should stick to commercial jingles; at least it's relatively quick and painless that way.

A Very Strange Medley
Artist(Band):Barry Manilow

there's barkin' at the kitchen
yellin' in the hall
ringin' at the door bell
poundin' on the wall
kids out a sight
and kids in the way
no time to cook on this hectic day
come on,come on,come on
get a bucket of chicken
finger lickin' good
have a barrel of fun
goodbye ho-hum
say hello to your family
come on everyone
at Kuntukey Fried Chicken
have a barrel of fun

when ever you're driving
and where ever you're bound
like a good neighbor
State Farm is there
State Farm is there
State Farm is there

give your face somethin' to smile about
give your face somethin' to smile about
with stridex
doot, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo,doo, doo
with stridex

I am stuck on a Band Aid
and a Band Aid's stuck on me
I am stuck on a Band Aid
and a Band Aid's stuck on me

I've got the bathroom bowl blues
I been meanin' to start cleanin' the bathroom
bowl
well, it's the lowdownest, bluest job in town
but tough green bowlene beats the bathroom
bowl blues

It's not a Cola

so drink Doctor Pepper
the joy of ev'ry boy and girl
It's the most original soft drink ever in the
whole wide world
Doctor Pepper
Doctor Pepper
Doctor Pepper
Doctor Pepper

Join the Pepsi people

14. manilow

sorry, i don't have a favorite barry manilow song

[LDS Jock]

15. Ready To Take A Chance Again

Love that song. But I love LOTS of Barry songs.

[Whitacre D_WI]

16. Now I'm home, and I have a few glasses in me, so...

...WHAT THE FUCK WAS I THINKING!?!?!?!?!?!?


on edit: I voted for "Could It Be Magic"

[Bill of Rights]

17. I also voted for "Could It Be Magic"

What a beautiful song. Thanks for reminding me.

[ikojo]

18. I LOVE Barry Manilow!!!

I have been a Manilow maniac since 7th grade.

[Ricdude]

19. The Allstate Jingle...

He used to do commercial jingles before resorting to singing his own full length songs (since no one else would). And you wonder why they get stuck in your head...

[Spider Jerusalem]

20. Barry Manilow reminds me of the dentist's waiting room.

NOT a good or pleasant association. Besides which, he's a crap singer/songwriter.

[Buns_of_Fire]

21. "I Made It Through The Rain" is the one I voted for

but I think my favorite is "All The Time." Or maybe "Please Don't Be Scared." Or maybe "Swing Street."

Heck, I like them all! MANILOW'S DA MAN! (And he's a Democrat, too!)

[liberalhistorian]

22. I LOVE LOVE LOVE

Barry Manilow and I'm not ashamed to admit it (and no, I haven't been drinking, either!) I finally saw him in concert a couple of years ago when my son wanted to see him, and he was FANTASTIC! I don't think I've ever seen a better concert, and he was really wonderful with the audience. Kinda made me wish I could have slipped backstage afterwards, SIGH. (It was especially neat to see all those women in their forties and fifties going crazy over him, lol!)

I was ten years old when Mandy, his first hit, came out and I've been totally in love ever since, especially after Could it Be Magic, taken from my favorite Chopin piece. Okay, okay, I'll stop with the gushing teenage slop now, I am, after all, a dignified woman of almost forty. I'd give ANYTHING to meet him in person, though!

23. "Clay Aiken Is My Illegitimate Son" is a great song.
