A variant of the popular game played by children where one player, who is the
tagger (or is "It") declares an unsuspecting recipient to be "
Barry Manilow". The person declared to be "Barry Manilow" can
bestow the title to other players - but cannot return the "honor" to the bestower. Variations can elaborate on specific characteristics. See example.
Person 1: "You're 'Barry Manilow'"
Person 2: "
Nooooo!!!!!"
or
Person 1: "
You ARE the one who makes the whole world
sing. You're 'Barry Manilow'!"
Person 2: "Not again!"
or
Person 1: "You're not just a 'Fanilow', you're 'Barry Manilow'!"
Person 2: "Oh, no! Who's around I can play Barry Manilow Tag with?"
