  • I agree.

  • too cute... loved it I did

  • HAHA...the song is a joke! Sarcasm is great.

  • Is Randy Newman mentally retarded?

  • The song is not actually about "short people". It is about people that are "little" as in people that are vain and shallow.

  • Why would he choose the word short?

  • For the sake of satire, irony and humour, obviously something you lack.

  • What you obviously lack is any knowledge about me, you little prick.

  • It's amazing how many people post ill-thought-out questions here and then turn around and act affronted when someone points out the answer. (And for the record, I don't have a prick, Mr. Size-issue, I'm female.)

  • No what's amazing is how pervasive heightism is in our society and how people attempt to cover it up. My question was not "ill-thought-out", I've studied logic and philosophy for years. And also my reference to you as a prick doesnt mean you have one. Can you think that one out?

  • "Pervasive heightism"? Please, listen up. This is not heightist in any way. It's satire. Randy Newman is using exaggeration to make a social criticism of people who are 'short' in mind, meaning people who are close-minded, shallow, self-absorbed and vain, as many people seem to be these days. And I was either going to call your question ill-thought-out, or just plain dumb, as, for someone who has studied philosophy and logic 'for years', you don't seem to have much common sense.

  • Also, I'm perfectly aware that you calling me a prick, doesn't require me to have one, I was responding to that only because you called me a 'little prick', emphasis being on the 'little', which struck me as heavily ironic when someone criticising something for displaying 'heightism', whilst inadvertently being heightist himself.

  • How cute, having an argument on youtube, i bet being right is so rewarding on the internet

  • About as rewarding as trying to restart the same argument three months later, Sweets.

  • Im not bringing up and continuing the conversation i'm just saying you should've just dropped it, its idiotic

  • I agree.... the song is not very nice to short people.

  • You do realize that this songs is talking about how awful and useless short people are, right?

    "Short people got no reason to live."

    Do you really hate your kids or what?

    Either way, that's hillarious.

  • How adorable is this? Love it!!!!

  • But theyre all children.

    Theyre going to be short. =\

  • Thats so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
