    - you seem immune to satire. i would recommend listening to a few more of newman's socially satirical songs. start with rednecks

    Wow !! Six months for you reply!!?? Now I understand why you don't get Randy Newman's music. You're just slow and dimwitted. Maybe you've gone too deep for too long too many times or just too stupid to understand a nitrogen dive chart. I'm not trying to be mean, just helpful....Try to not go under 12 feet anymore and perhaps your cognitive function will come back and maybe just listen to something like Bon Jovi.

    Nope...listened to it again...and he is still a creep!

    And by the way...The Beatles...you know -- John, Paul, George, and Ringo...(Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Star)...wrote their own songs...and 'Short People' really isn't a Beatles song...

    And as your Grandma said...you should have kept your mouth shut instead of letting people know you are stupid.
