Good job, Poncho!

Make the music Justin Beiber, and youd have something Pocho.
On second thought, Chazz probably uses Justin Beiber’s songs as a dog whistle

That would drive me crazy, too.

Poncho, don’t listen to them,it’s a Barry Manilow song and Chazz probably knows all the words to it.

Barry is the man!

Is that what they meant by “The Magic of Monilow”?

Great @*%#, just what I didn’t need implanted in my brain. Give Poncho the remote and make Barry go away.

You could put Poncho in his dog crate for a while in the laundry room or something.

Ironically, that’s one song that Barry Manilow DIDN’T write. It was by a guy named Bruce Johnston.
It IS a song that would drive me from the room, though. I prefer “Mandy” (the name, at least, was Manilow’s beloved beagle) and “Copacabana” (maximum cheese, but great fun to sing along with).

Hey, what’s wrong with Barry? Geez! Though I must agree with cleo, I don’t really want that song ringing in my head all day! THANKS A LOT PAUL! :-D

My favorite panel is the 7th with the storm cloud over a truly miserable looking Chaz and that terrible smirk on Poncho’s face - priceless!

Trouble is, since no-one over six (mental age at least) listens to him, no-one would recognize the lyrics, so we wouldn’t get the joke…

I can’t believe I’m arguing this, but… Barry’s beagle, at least at the time Mandy was a hit, was named Bagel. It was on the back of one of the records. “Mandy” was originally “Brandy,” but had an obvious conflict with another song. Why I can remember this stuff but forget where I put my keys… Must be being 52.

That’s like 3 strips in 1

Ha ha, funny to contrast this little domestic playlet with the relative honeymoon period occuring in the daily strip.
fritzoid Premium Member almost 14 years ago
HelmetHead, I knew that at SOME point Manilow had a beagel named Bagel, but I’m pretty sure that “Mandy” was originally inspired by a (previous?) dog. If that earlier dog’s name was Brandy rather than Mandy (the conflict was probably with “Brandy” by Looking Glass), that would accommodate both scenarios.
Edit: A quick Google search suggests that, while the song’s “It’s about a dog” inspiration has a long history, it may be apocryphal. It works, though…
