You do have a reason to live, no matter what Randy says! p.s. I appreciate your satire of the people who take Randy Newman's satire (or any other satire for that matter) seriously. There should be mandatory irony school for those who can't appreciate satire, short or tall. missing the point? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/2005 This song is, to my mind, a superb attack on prejudice by highlighting the nonsensical nature of the attitudes held by prejudiced people. Replace "short" by black/white/jewish/muslim in the lyrics and sing it again. suicidal | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/2005 Since I was a kid there hasn't been a day that this song (Short People) hasn't played over in my head. I'm 43 years old now and I have lived every day of my life been less than 5'1" and that is short for a male. The reason why I'm writing this review is because recently I have been diagnosed with manic depression and I think that this song (Short People) with lyrics that read (SHORT PEOPLE GOT NO REASON TO LIVE)has played a major part in my depression and suicidal behaviour. So yes I hate the song and always have hated it and always will hate it. Sould I ever leave a suicide note then I'll be sure to write on it (SHORT PEOPLE GOT NO REASON TO LIVE) Horrible horrible horrible | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/2005 This is the worst song I have ever heard. It is NOT ironic, nor funny. It is only insulting. Learn to write decent songs and maybe I'll listen to them again. Until then, any radio station such as the one I heard it on today who plays that song will no longer be one I listen to. rough | Reviewer: letha | 11/12/2005 Okay everyone, this song is funny. Even if you're short, it's funny. I'M short. Everyone in my family is tall, so they sing this to me on occasion. The song is just being ironic/satyrical/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. He was just using height to point out the stupidity of prejudice. Doy. You Don't Get It | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/2005 Randy Newman doesn't really dislike short people. He is being ironic. He is using short people to illustrate how stupid it is to dislike anyone who's different. This is actually a satirical, anti-prejudice song. horrible | Reviewer: katie | 10/16/2005 this is horrible. you have no idea what it is to be short and im assuming the person who wrote it obviously isnt short. the reasons you have for short people being bad is rediculous because short legs and arms would b the reason why theyre short and the other characteristics arent just of short people. theyre of EVERYONE of all heights. you should get a life and write better music. We Don't Need this Song | Reviewer: EGJ | 10/1/2005 The "Short People" song lyrics are very clever. However, I find the song offensive and "belittling". As a culture we do too many things to people to emphasize our differences. There are numerous obstacles humans face that make one feel less sure, unwanted, ill-equipped, and inferior to others. This song would have been cleverer if it had lauded the advantages and special view point of people who are different. Random acts of kindness are what will save the world - not acts of meanness. D: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/25/2005 Wow, that's really sad. (I'm under 5 ft tall). Whatever. I read the other reviews and I noticed that the people who think this is a cool song also can't spell or speak like a normal human being. I wonder what this says about them...
