Short People Randy Newman Lyrics OnScreen

[Octivated]

I am 4' 7 and i love this!

[Lol101Midgets]

lol

[candysays1000]

i love Randy !!!

[HawksPensgirl]

This song is not about short people!! It's about people having prejudices and how they have closed minds. People take it way too literally.. so really listen before you start attacking the song. it's actually a really great song :))

[BestWithLyrics]

@HawksPensgirl YES! Thank you!

[DaRkAntipathy]

Can't wait to see him on the beach at The Hangout Festival

[maxvelocitygaming]

@lilegz1 the song is about how asinine it is to make fun of short ppl and stuff like that. NOT Randy's opinion. go to 1:18 to see what ppl should think :-)

[maxvelocitygaming]

21 ppl are short

[sillybear3101]

meaner i love short people

[NormaAndWillow]

I hadn't heard this song in a VERY long time, when it came on the radio. of course I turned it up and sang along. My 6 year old was HORRIFIED! How could it be that her Mommy no longer loved her?!?!?! I went along with it for a while, watching her facial expressions go from Horrified to Angry. I had to let her off the hook and explain how it is silly to hate "anyone" for a stupid reason like "them being short" The song was telling us a story about Prejudice. I Love this song!

[BestWithLyrics]

@NormaAndWillow That was awesome! Thanks for the comment!!!

[APACHEFIRE1]

i guess i COULD consider myself short.....i KNOW i am to anyone who is taller than 5’4”! But then, i am TALL to someone who is shorter than i am. All i know is, it is what it is, and we are all MORE than just a body size. Isnt it great to be an INDIVIDUAL?! **laughin**

[downunder104nz]

Short people smell bad as well.

[KAMIISBEAST]

My fav part is 1:18 it is the true meaning

[KAMIISBEAST]

I'm short and I love!

[Killenwolf]

I HATE SHORT PEOPLE!!!!

[zZnikkiZz1]

this guy has no life -.-

[queenbee2165]

this song cracks me up

[TheatreGeek711]

I'm 5'0 and my friends all make fun of me for it, but I LOVE IT. It makes my life and theirs' so much more interesting when you have jokes to laugh at. :) 

[GoldenHoofStudios]

I'm offensive and I find this short.

[musicue106]

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

[velykable]

I heard it on Little Rascals years ago and I've liked it since and juss found it Yay c:

[Blur866]

OMG No way, I lol'd so hard when he said "Short people got no reason to live"

[rodhothotrodd]

they got little hands and little eyes and they walk around telling great big lies ;D my dad showed me this song best shit ever

[SillyKittyKatt]

Poor short people...

[TMcBagginspwnz]

this is my theme song when i go midget tossing..oh and by the way randy newman himself is pretty short. It's ironic

[BestWithLyrics]

@TMcBagginspwnz hahahahahahhahahahaha That comment was AWESOME! Thanks! It is Ironic, right!?!?!?!

[BestWithLyrics]

WOW 35k on views and still there is a controversy every week. This song is deep and hard to understand apparently. It is meant to tell a story of how asinine it is to have a prejudice. He just chose short people. OK lets all go to 1:18 and hear the real meaning of his lyrics. OK ? Thanks everyone for watching!!!!

[xxsoulsinger11]

I'm 4'11". :(

[BestWithLyrics]

@xxsoulsinger11 Hey 4'11" is a kick ass height! 411 means you have the info! Besides, chicks at 4'11" are sexy!!! :-) You are still young, trust me it always changes! In just a few years you will realize the world is your oyster! Hang in there and thanks for watching!!!

[1910caleb]

randy newman's a dick... :( lol

[TadpoleJakson]

This song makes me want to bawl my eyes out. I myself am short and it's truly devastating.

[BestWithLyrics]

@TadpoleJakson dude check out 1:18 and then some...thats the real meaning of the song. It is amazing to me that people miss it.

[emogirl4everyoung]

sang this to my short little sister..lol XD

Priceless reaction....hahahaahaaaaaa!

she got so pissed

[CarolKeene]

this is Randy's way of expressing the stupidity of prejudice...

[Vampbabe]

I have mixed Feelings about this song.. But I can't stop Listening to it.. As a Shortest Person in my Family.. They used to Sing this to me... Of Course I got pissed but now.. I don't give a shit.. I know I won't be hit with that Lightning Bolt Before my 6'2 Friend.. LOL

[GUNSFOREVER1]

I Fucking hate being short

[ProZo17]

This was not made to offend people. This is Randy Newman's perspective of those racist, stupid, lunatic people that actually worry about this. I know how it can offend some people but this is how Randy sees everyone else that make fun of short people. So please don't get angry at him.

[Brettmudsbud]

small world to me, but to them its a big world...

[BestWithLyrics]

@Brettmudsbud Thats deep, thanks for the comment!

[WhatUpFoos001]

THIS SONG RUINED MY LIFE!!! Its catchy, but I am short, and everyone in my school sings this song whenever I walk by. The worst thing is that even my family sing this! Sometimes though. I can't get through a normal life now, my life is over! Can someone please reply to me, I need your help! :(

[alynmorse]

[lilegz1]

This song is so offensive I am short and a lot of my friends are short u know what i think that u have "no reason to live" if u think that

[YOUchris15]

YOU guys dont understand that hes using a satirical tone of this song. basically basing short people as races of people you can see at the point of the song where he states all men are brothers until we die

[FeaturingFreaks]

THIS IS A HORRABLE SONG!!!!!!!! This will offend sooooo many people!!!!!

[MhfuForEver]

hmmm...i am 1,50 metre "short" and i am 14 years old! this song make me a little bit sadly.

[Cheyennikinz]

[toljb0]

[diln5]

This song is so sexist.

[TheRockerDude6661]

@diln5 its not sexist its prejudice you dunce

[diln5]

@TheRockerDude6661 Dude. Settle-down. Ask yourself: "Is anyone stupid enough to think what that comment says?"

[Alfonzoczechguy97]

6'0 love this song but the girl i love 5'3 lol sooooo im stuck

[BestWithLyrics]

@Alfonzoczechguy97 I am 6'0 and my fiancee' is 5'7. If we have a kiddo he or she will probably be 4 '2. hahahaha

[Alfonzoczechguy97]

@BestWithLyrics haha nice lol 

[braddudeguy]

[edgelitafans1]

"Michael gave me a list of his 10 favorite Bruce Springsteen songs. 3 were Huey Lewis & The News, 1 was Tracy Chapman Fast Car and my personal favorite, Short People" - Darryl from The Office

[TubePunch30]

@edgelitafans1 Dude. I laughed so hard when I read this. Hahahahaha. I can't stop laughing.

[LatrellHassell]

I'm 6'5 and this song is funny

[LKoolKat]

Hey I'm short this is great.

[Pandalover10198]

ha, I'm 4'10''. so, if your 5 ft. or over, don't be sad! lol

[EmmyMoose101]

nahh i love this songg after my friend who is 4'2" and is really nasty and evil this song goes out to you Desiree Saucier

[iCryonikz]

Who cares about height? Randy Newman is the shit

[Tinasmyth3112]

This song is shit?

[rainbowdash410]

THIS SONG IS INSULTING TO MOST

[Baptb11717]

Im short I find it so funny

[courtneyhippo]

I'm only 5'6 and my asshole relatives call me (and any woman over 5'4) freakishly tall. I sometimes get frustrated and want to dedicate this song to them. But I reallly have nothing against anyone of any height. I just get ticked when people insult. Anyway, this song is a bit goofy. Wasn't the man who wrote it a short person himself?

[uri643]

@courtneyhippo randy newman is 6'0

[Barrelracer20001]

thats sooooooooooooooooo mean

[gaylemcdade13]

how sweet they wrote a song about brady

this is logan lermans karaoke song

[unkindsoulsaver]

fuck this (;

im short and i got a reason to live (;.

and thats to write this you fucking fagg.

screw you atleast short people dont got big feets

and we got bigger balls (;.

so get on your knees pull down my pants and start sucking hoe.

[chimera5x2]

rhinos

they scare little boys

assassinating parents

don't bring them much joy

(that's Randy!)

[18xboxboy]

im very short and this songs is great

[HannahBurgess98]

This Is THE Most Offensive Song Ever.!

[cynthiarulezd00d]

Uh, Im short and i laughed.

[TheCajundude14]

This song was actually intended to be sung from a biased person's point-of-view (during the part where Randy sings the offensive things). Randy loved to do this. The nicer things he says are actually his point-of-view. Not all of the other things. So no one should talk trash about Randy.

[BestWithLyrics]

@TheCajundude14 Well said! Thanks for the comment!

[leah1597]

One of my friends (who happens to be 6'2 and im 5'1) sings this to me alot. -_- hahaha love ya Ben! :P

[soccerchic717]

I love this song and I'm only 5'2" but it was made to show people how stupid being prejudice is, he doesn't really hate short people! :)

[theaccushot]

I'm watching little rascals with my little sister, and all I have to say is......

"Paper, or plastic?"

I'm 5'6 and 14 years old anyway, so I'm good

[tijmenvs25]

I'm short, and i LOVE this song...

[DyeKid1]

lol i'm 6'2"

[Tetragramozoid]

@gagajonasmia and some people can't take a joke.

[rubbertrashful]

This song sucks. And yeah im short

[BestWithLyrics]

@Mini9207 There are models at that height. Don't give up! 6ft here in Texas is pretty much average, that's what I meant. Thanks so much for commenting!!

[UmyNEPHEW]

1:20 says it all people!

[2FunSize4]

I'm not short....I'm just vertically challenged lol:)

[BestWithLyrics]

@Mini9207 Very well said! I appreciate the comment! I am 6ft so kinda in between. :-)

[BestWithLyrics]

@Mini9207 I guess at least 5 of them have disliked it so far. SO.... if they hit the "dislike" button on a song named "Short People", does that mean they dislike short people? :-) Thanks for watching!

[cockatiel2902]

im TALL XD

short people got no reson to LIVE

[FuyuMei]

Please read the lyrics or listen to the song carefully!!! The song is not something to offend short people it is a parody on how judgmental people are!

[Fall3n4H1m]

@gagajonasmia It's not meant to be a serious song. It's more satire if anything. He doesn't mean to offend short people. The entire purpose of the song is to show how judgmental and ridiculous some people can be.

[arielandlexi123]

Im short :(

[kiwiberry12345]

5 people are short people :)

[realitytvfreak]

The Little Rascals!!!

[TheMegaCrazyGurls]

I bet you he was going with a midget that broke his heart and he got back at her by writing this song lmao

[CFheart9]

i know this song is kinda offensive to some short people but the lyrics are so funny!

[vex71]

@gagajonasmia What he wants to say is that people shouldn't be judgmental, the song is a parody on judgmental people and he chooses to take a ridiculous example such as height, I suppose it can be applied to race, religion or sex as well. You need to listen between the lines ;-)

[Skittany101]

The little rascals :)

[litllemissglam05]

As a short person, this song cracks me up!

[AazZ419]

The 4 ppl that disliked this r short ^.^

[TheFunnyVille]

thumbs up if you posted this on your short friends facebook wall!

[Bowlnmike]

all my friends are short because they are all asian!

[30stmfan4eva]

I'm only 5'0 :D

[Beorg63]

i have a shirt friend, hes an asshole

[bodnotbod]

I knew a short person once. He was a right bastard.

[TRSCANN]

Randy Newman is a genius. 

[mrsnickcarter10]

well i'm glad im tall

[PrincessE8888]

my dad used to sing this 2 me, when i was little... now im 5foot 10...

[go8smosh]

@mrsnickcarter10 That's not it at all.

[bookgurl96]

Omg he doesn't actually think short people have no reason to live! He wrote it because people are so judgemental and he was making people realize how stupid they are sometimes.

[Horselover101Nines]

F YOU!! I GET MADE MADE FUN OF KIDS EVERY DAY AND WHATS THE POINT TO LIVE IF UR TALL!!!!!!!

[1235link]

The choir at my school did this song and one of my friends was short so when they were singing they made him give them a weird look. and the people next to his legs when they said short legs. Then they carried him off the stage at the end with him pouting.

[BestWithLyrics]

@1235link Now THAT was an AWESOME comment!!!

[Gunny2gr8PS3]

every 1 who thinks this is offensive , hes just saying what society thinks of them in general , but really hes not got that view at all , pretty funny tho , 'gotta pik em up , just 2 say hello@ :P

[SKATEOFLEONARDO]

fuck this song it is fucking rasist mottafukka

[reed22racer]

@SKATEOFLEONARDO Short people aren't a race, silly kid.

[nadiya1is1here]

this guy got no reason to sing cuz he has an ugly voice...hey, at least i got a good reason.

[Gunny2gr8PS3]

@nadiya1is1here randy new got a good voice

[go8smosh]

@nadiya1is1here This is satirical song like most of his work.

He has two Academy Awards, three Emmys, five Grammy Awards, and 2 Oscars, plus recording the songs to basically every Disney kid's movie ever, and quite a few "actual" movies. I don't think he cares if you think his voice is ugly.

[nadiya1is1here]

@go8smosh why do you care so much? if he doesnt care why are you trying to step up for him? 

[go8smosh]

@nadiya1is1here Because you REALLY don't get the intent of the song. This wasn't to put down short people, it was from the view of a lunatic that was prejudiced against short people, as an example of how crazy some people are when it comes to prejudice. And I stood up for him because he is a great composer and I love his music.

[nadiya1is1here]

@go8smosh ok sorry I offended you and your friend. :)

[go8smosh]

@nadiya1is1here Glad you're being civil :) And just so you know, neither Randy or I have anything against short people.

[nadiya1is1here]

@go8smosh yep im not a person who likes to argue but i love stepping up for others, lol you can probably tell. i didnt listen to the whole song cuz i didnt want to hear it, but that is my fault since i understand now that i misunderstood the meaning of the song.

[BestWithLyrics]

@babygirl12944 Check out the lyrics, he wrote the song as an example of how stupid judgmental people can be. Thanks for watching!

[babygirl12944]

WTF im short

[BestWithLyrics]

@cobaltgnome23 Thanks for watching!!

[cobaltgnome23]

lol, its a terrible wonderful song. Thanks for the lyrics
