I'm one of those short people, and even so, I love this song. Most of the verses are actually true, that's what's making this song so funny. Everyone who's just complaining is wrong! We really need to joke around much more, even if it gets a little sarcastic... tongue in cheek. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/10/09 Newman's said that this song is about how stupid prejudice is, and is about some lunatic. Do you think there are people out there who are heightist? That's absurd. The bridge gives it away. Also, everyone's got some hangup that "no one else could possibly know what it's like to have", like being short, or tall, or fat, or skinny, or black or ... Wow. | Reviewer: emjay | 2/7/09 Just stumbled onto this page, and am perplexed by these posts by people who don't understand the point of the song or Randy's intended irony. Engage your brains a bit. Critical thinking isn't that hard, your life will be richer for it, I promise. Wow alot of people taking this like it's offensive... | Reviewer: Daniel | 2/6/09 Can't believe how many (short) people find this song offensive... I'm not tall myself but this song isn't about that it is bad to be short, it's about peoples prejudice. It's exactly like the comment Adam wrote, couldn't have written it better myself. Great song! Wow | Reviewer: tara | 2/7/09 Ok for everyone saying that this is insulting i am way taller than average and everyone teases me about my height even though they say they dont mean it so this is just a harmless song just like when short peole make fun of tall people but dont mean any harm this is what that song is . This is my opiniion xoxoxo Chin up | Reviewer: Bilroy | 2/2/09 Always one of my favorites, and I have always been short. I you cannot laugh yourself, you have a real problem. If someone laughs at you, and you join in the laughter, you help them solve their potential problem. Now, let's here it for Tall People !! how dare him. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/27/09 No, this is not funny. Short people have more prejudice aimed at them today then anyone else. You CAN'T relate. No one can help it. This man deserves to be punished for these stupid lyrics. Shorter people are just as successful as tall people and we should not be looked down upon like this. What if someone made a song called "tall people"? Oh, then it would be SO MEAN right and not funny? Oh,but this, this is HILARIOUS isn't it. So everyone whose tall and says this is funny needs to get out of here. short people | Reviewer: mark ainslie | 1/19/09 I hate the song maybe because i am short it has silly words and means nothing.I think the song was out in the 70's it sounds like it anyways. I used to always have it sung to me when i was younger.Dont get me wrong i like my height after reaching 5'0 i just dont love it.I hate all the name calling including this one which has stuck on me since 10 yrs old.LITTLE LEGS my mates shout it out all the time.At school in p.e the teacher used to call me POCKET ROCKET which was fair has i was quite sprinty.Some of my friends are like a foot taller than me but they still llokout for me.I just call them my minders.. lol | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/09 i personally loved this song, and i'm 5'4. it's just a funny and light hearted way to show people how their prejudice is. it was so clever and histerical i was laughing so hard my sister ran into the room to find out why i was being such a spazz. but that's just my take! Erin ShortPerson | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/30/08 This song is obviously not insulting short people but instead proving how stupid prejudice is. Where it says they have small feet, well, it is implied in being short... It would be equally insulting to African Americans if it said they have black feet. To all those who object to this song please think again! I for one am not particularly tall nor short but at least I have the common sense to realize that this song is not about short people but instead the idiocy of prejudice. Short People are just the same As you and I (A Fool Such As I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (It's A Wonderful World) That seems to me to be implying that short people arent any different then himself the same way Jews, Blacks, and any other minority is the same as himself! -Adam Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
