"What if this puts smiles on their faces?"

Barry Manilow is questioning the wisdom of an Australian town’s use of his songs to drive off teenage loiterers:

Manilow has been less than impressed with Rockdale council’s use of his music to annoy listeners. He told Who magazine in Australia: “Frankly, I think if you played anyone’s music for that long you’d drive any rationally minded human out of their mind. But have they thought that these hoodlums might like my music? What if some of them began to sing along to Can't Smile Without You? Or lit candles when I Write the Songs was played?

“Or, heaven forbid, danced around to the infectious beat of Copacabana? What if this actually attracts more hoodlums? What if it puts smiles on their faces?”
