City hopes ‘Baby Shark’ song will drive homeless away
Miami Herald ^ | July 17, 2019

. Officials in West Palm Beach are hoping a continuous loop of children's songs played throughout the night will keep homeless people from sleeping on the patio of a city-owned rental banquet facility.

West Palm Beach parks and recreation director Leah Rockwell tells the Palm Beach Post they're trying to discourage people from sleeping outside the glass-walled Waterfront Lake Pavilion, which she says rakes in some $240,000 annually from events.

The loop of "Baby Shark" and "Raining Tacos" is a temporary fix to keep homeless people off the patio. Rockwell says the city wants to formalize hours for the facility, which should make trespassing laws easier to enforce.

If the number of overdoses in the area suddenly increases, we’ll know why.

I listened to Baby Shark just once and it was stuck in my head for a week.
I had to smoke an eighth of weed and, listen to Pink Floyd for 12 hours straight to get it out.
Now, I can’t get anything back in my head.

Do not listen to Baby Shark.

If they’re going to do that, they should at least try juvenile gross-out songs.

Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts...

“Disney was actually sued when the ride broke and this song played to some poor riders for over an hour.”

I’m pretty sure I was there when it happened. To this day I can’t stand that wretched tune.

Play this on a loop. I guarantee it will drive the homeless away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7zmjyhSpbs

Lady who owns the 7-11 in my town used to have a problem with teens hanging out in front of the store so she just bolted a few speakers up high and started playing classical music. Worked like a charm!

Drop them in the ocean near adult sharks and that will solve the problem.

When we got to the exit the sign said “Disneyland Left” so we went home.

How about looping the Llama Song at 120 decibels?

Just make it a habitat for endangered Bengal Tigers and your problems will end in a couple of weeks.

Meh, “raining tacos” is not really an earworm. Badgerbadgerbadger was better, and “baby shark” is weapons-grade.

Well, I now have my theme music for the evening. FReepers of a certain age will recall The Badger Song. Loop it after you've dropped acid.

Barbie Girl, by the Aquas, is also a good choice to drive people away.
