Theresa Amazing Song | Reviewer: Vgfh | 1/30/06 People, you're taking this song for something it isn't. It is not an attack on anyone. It's like a lot of people have pointed out, satirical. The only people it is taking the piss out of, are the people who have these views for no good reason. Being English, I appreciate satire and can see sarcasm when it is there. However, in my experiance, and I'm sure this isn't the case of all people, other nationalities have trouble seeing sarcasm, and this is probably why a lot of you seem to be taking it the wrong way. Chill out and see it for what it is, an attack on prejudice and not an attack on short people. To Suicidal--if you're not already dead! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/25/06 Don't do it! 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 | 12/18/05 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 | 12/16/05 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 | 11/27/05 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 | 11/12/05 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 | 10/23/05 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 | 10/16/05 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.
