Total Satire | Reviewer: Tune | 1/4/08 This is a great song and i dont mean just for the message it sends out!! Its simple and catchy and then there's the lyrics which is just satrical humour, whereby no harm or insult is meant but a message is being said!! The fact Mr Newman chose people with limited height as his topic isn't to humiliate them, but to send a message. He couldn't exactly use a skin colour or a religion for this, otherwise he would have a bounty on his head! OFFENSIVE | Reviewer: kate | 1/2/08 It was very offensive to me because I am short and like it really hurts my feelings. (I'm not a dwarf).You are a very nasty person Randy Newman to write this song if you were short i don't think you would like it. Ill never forget | Reviewer: matt keplinger | 12/31/07 I am 34 years old now, and when I was 9 my school had a program for the parents and they took the tallest kids and put them in a circle around the shortest kids (me} and had them sing this song,let me tell you I will never forget that,it has hurt me for life,however maybe it helped push me to become the bodybuilder/weightlifter I am today,and all those tall kids are probably fat and out of shape tall adults!!!Lol nice comment | Reviewer: who? | 11/28/07 "I agree that this song is not supposed to be taken literally and it's a vehicle to express that all prejudice is idiotic. However, as we've seen here, it ends up getting used as a way for people to AIR their prejudices" - I don't know who you are, but I think this statement is very intelligent and sums up why satire is not the most effective form of criticism. After all, the concept of "satire" was defined and honed in classical Rome by Republicans (the Roman kind, not the Bush kind) living in during the Empire, who used it (satire) to criticize and rebut the supporters of the Empire. Look how far it got them...oh, that's right. Nowhere. SHAWTY | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/22/07 This song OWNS im 5'7" but i dont give a fuck its all about the inside baby. "you gotta pick em up just to say hello" HILARIOUS im short and i loved it!! | Reviewer: Gracie | 11/24/07 im short....im 4"11 and 16 years old and no i dont have any dwarfism at all, and i LOVE this song! i dont think its offensive at all! its great! duh | Reviewer: Laura | 11/24/07 im 5'2 an my husband is 6'2. we played this at our wedding an everybody got a kick out of it. c'mon y'all, its not that deep. i hate short people | Reviewer: glendarious | 11/15/07 man im glendarious fom atlanta and short people r all stupid looking dwarfs, i love this song because it makes them look like the retards they are HAHA | Reviewer: Joe | 11/12/07 Anyone who says people who like this have no lives truely have no lives them selfs. We have lifes because we are open minded and actualy are smart enough to know when something is a joke. Anyone who thinks its offensive needs to unclench their cheeks and let the stick drop out.
