Article in the paper today; "The local council in Rockdale Australia started a sixth month trial of high-volume hits by Barry Manilow to chase away car enthusiasts who were gathering on weekend nights at Cook Park Preserve. 'Barry's our secret weapon', deputy mayor Bill Saravinovsky said. 'It seems to be working.' However some people living near the park are less than enthralled. They say the barrage of " Copacobana", Could it Be Magic", "Que Sara,Sara" and other hits, blasting from 9 pm until midnight is driving them crazy."
They should try listening to Nora Jones for six hours every Friday,Saturday and Sunday. That would empty a place real quick. "Come Awaaaay; With me." No Thanks.
There was a scene in the original car wash movie where the manager decided he was sick of all that soul music on the PA; so he switched the radio station to some sort of Montavoni. As soon as they realised what he'd done all the workers began to move in Slooooow Mooootiaaan.... very funny scene. I don't know what that has to do with this thread; but I really liked that movie so I weaseled it in.
I also saw that one way, way back when I was in high school. We thought it was a good movie but couldn't understand it because our English were very poor at tha time.
Before I logged into the forum a while ago, I realized that I was humming I Write the Songs. A little spooky that I start reading and see Manilow's name right away. I guess that stuff sticks with ya!

I pride myself of having seen the original "Car Wash" movie in the cinema back in the day...
