Bing Crosby Hit Keeps Teens On The Move Thursday July 8 7:29 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian shopping center has found a novel way to deter teenage loiterers -- playing loud Bing Crosby music. The late American crooner has hit a sour note with youths with his 1938 hit My Heart is Taking Lessons, which is being played repeatedly at the entrance to the Warrawong shopping center, in southern New South Wales. Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reported Thursday that the center was also using pink fluorescent lights that highlight pimples. ''All the people from Warrawong High used to hang here after school -- now you don't see them,'' 14-year-old Matthew Wilson told the newspaper. But youth lawyer Jane Sanders slammed the move: ''It sends out the message to young people: you're troublemakers, you're not wanted in our community.''
