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?"
Person 2: "Nooooo!!!!!"

Person 1: "You ARE the one who makes the whole world sing. You're 'Barry Manilow'!"
