Manilow's "Bermuda Triangle" Trivia Quiz

Answer:

Your inner "Fanilow" will be pleased to hear that the song does not end on the negative sentiment of "Bermuda Triangle // Very bad!". Oh no, there is another verse and chorus of high quality music that follows on from this. Barry Manilow informs his loyal listeners that he finds himself lying in the sand when a stranger says "hello and takes my hand"; the stranger joins him on his blanket before they agree to go for a swim but Barry being a true gentleman asks "what about your boyfriend?". You will need to listen to the track - or devour his written word - to find out how this ends. I don't wish to spoil your enjoyment beyond saying that if you look at it from Barry's angle, you'll see that he is very glad and that the Bermuda Triangle is "not so bad"!

It is easy to make jokes at Barry Manilow's expense (guilty as charged) but if you embrace his music with light-heartedness then he - somehow - has the ability to brighten up a gloomy day. His longevity reflects an enduring popularity, though his heyday was very much the 1970s and 1980s with well-known hits unleashed upon the world such as "Mandy", "I Write the Songs", "Looks Like We Made It" and "Copacabana".

"Bermuda Triangle" features on the 1980 album, "Barry". The single peaked at number 15 in the UK charts (bewildering, it should have been much higher) and number 16 in Germany.
