    He lost out to Lionel Richie, in a coin toss, for mention in Deathtöngue’s hit song “Middle of the Road”. In my opinion, “Let’s run over Barry Manilow with a tank” would have worked equally well.

    “Sappy music night works” better for me.

    Barry Manilow donated an electric piano to my girls’ middle school a few years ago. Let’s just say that he is very much beloved in this household (even though I’ve always been a fan).

    If you want “The Middle of the Road”, hire the Pretenders.

    If Barry Manilow is “Middle Of The Road”, how come no one has run over him yet?

    Back then I sometimes saw bumperstickers that read “Bury Manilow”. But, hey, he’s a multimillionaire – apparently there are people who like putrid drivel.

    Hey, let’s don’t be knockin’ the Manilow. Or Lionel Richie, just in case.

    Check out Ray Stevens’ “I Need Your Help, Barry Manilow.” Reportedly, Manilow got a laugh out of it.

    My liking for Barry Manilow went out the window after an mall art show my mother exhibited in. Hes spot was in front of an electronics store that was playing a laser disc of Barry Manilow singing “Copacabana” over and over again. I was there for less than an hour, but that was more than enough for me.

    Never a fan of the Heavy-Metal genre; Mr Manilow’s so much easier on the ears ♥

    Barry Manilow is part of the musical faction that wants to save our hearing…

    Tell me again how the Meadow Festival is able to afford all these acts? Or is Milo planning on stiffing them?
