Barry Tops the Billboard!

February 8th, 2006

Yeah, Barry Manilow. I’m not kidding. After almost 30 years, he’s topped the Billboard 200. His album, “The Greatest Songs of the Fifties”, is at No. 1 with sales of 156,000 copies in the United States, giving the artist his best sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. In case you don’t know, this is Barry Manilow.
Someone posted a comment in iTunes about him, and it made me laugh:

“Barry is so fabulous in this video. His hair. His Complexion. And that leather suit. Just F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.”



Ha!! Well, I’m glad someone besides Maria Carey is getting the spotlight this grammy season :p. Her Sell-by date has long since expired.

    “he’s Old, but still good”

    So is 80-year-old B.B. King, whom I saw in concert last year. He still gives a HELL of a show!

    Forget Barry Manilow!

    For some reason when I think of Barry Manilow.. besides thinking of GAY… for some reason (maybe cause he’s so tan)…. I think of Siegfried and Roy…. cause they’re so …. TAN… as well.

    The analogy between Gay and Tan was funny, but I do not know what Barry looks like, nor I have the urge to look it up either.

    When I see a guy with that fake tan crap on his face and body I think Gay, also stupid, but mostly Gay.

    When I see a girl with it on, I think of someone’s sister, and think of the word goofy.

    Girls’s that tan too much or get unnaturally dark.. look like ALIENS. It’s funny. There’s a couple girls I see at work and 1 of the kids I teach in senior high Sunday school… they look terrible. So unnatural. If you’re going to tan like that… put a towel over your face after a while so you don’t look like a freak.

    Now, my neighbor… Gay Todd…. SUPER DUPER tan, short spiked super bleached blonde hair, his immaculate white nissan blaring Cher music, extremely lean fit body in 1970’s hot pants/shorts when he mows, greeting his friends with a variety of squeals, “Hey bitches!” or “Hey Pumpkin!”

    ….. he’s probably not gay, right?

    Sounds about as queer as Elton John and Liberace cavorting around in a pink hottub.

    barry looks goofy to me… he does right good music, and its cool and stuff, but he looks goofyt o me. He reminds me of an older man trying to be young and what not. He just looks phony.

    Pink hot tub???? Reminds me of an old Nursery Rhyme… 3 Men in a tub…

    I like that country song that makes fun of that nursery rhyme…

    “…rub a dub dub 3 men in a tub sure sounds kinda funny to me
    so I made up a honky tonk nursery rhyme
    and it’s the only one I’ll sing…”

    Thats by Charlie Robinson and its called Barlight.
