Randy Newman Lyrics


Randy Newman on his career as songwriter: "I didn't make
any calculated decision - 'Well, I'm good at this, so
that's what I'll do.' Wasn't out of any great love for it,
though. I was good at it. I never wanted to be a doctor,
like my father, or a lawyer. Baseball player, I wanted to
be..." As fate would have it, the majors passed him by -
too much music in the blood.

Newman's uncles Lionel and Emil were composer/arrangers and
a number of relatives worked in the music and movie
business; even his physician father, Irving, wrote More...

    ------ About the song Dixie Flyer performed by Randy Newman

I'm so glad to finally find a comment in regards to the Dixie Flyer not moving out of CA. I've spent hours trying to find history of it...and, obviously, never did. I thought I was searching incorrectly. Poor me...Randy's lyrics was my history.

You have to look closer... | Reviewer: Jeff
    ------ About the song Short People performed by Randy Newman

Newman wrote this song as a dig against people in the recording industry. Agents and producers that were liars, slicks, cheaters, dishonest, cheap and a great deal of them were fellows of short stature. Inflated self importance and ego masturbators, difficult to deal with. They would walk around in very loud suits calling even more attention to their short stature. The Stones made a parody about music executives called the West Coast Promotion Man. Give it a listen.

Personal expression should have no limit.... | Reviewer: Newman
    ------ About the song Short People performed by Randy Newman

If God gave you a brain that can formulate an opinion and you have the verbal/writing skills to express it then you have the right to do so, whether that be via artistic expression or otherwise, whether the opinion be deemed offensive, intolerant or not. THERE IS NO SUCH RIGHT AS A RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED.

Our song. | Reviewer: Lyn Phelan.

I have just met the most wonderful man 7 weeks ago. He is an old muso and has been introducing me to all sorts of music. When he played me this song, we both cried!! So now we call it Our song.He has learnt how to play it on his guitar and I'm learning to sing it. We are making beautiful music together and are very much in love!! Lyn.

What? Logically two opinions here! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Short People performed by Randy Newman

It would make perfect sense if a person in the 21st century feels as though this song is offensive. Most examples of discrimination have been eliminated from our culture. Prejudice against a race, religion, or the disabled are never tolerated, EVEN IN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION.

On the other hand, prejudice against short people in this song is not intended to be interpreted literally. Most people should know that there is nothing different at all about short people. The sad fact, however; is that even though he is mocking small-minded people, some small-minded people would agree with the characterizations made here.

    ------ About the song Short People performed by Randy Newman

The is not actually a "joke" at all, as some of you have noted. It's a serious jab at prejudice. If we start trying to legislate or socially restrict the creative or artistic ways of expressing oneself then we will have more prejudice in the world not less.

great song | Reviewer: paul siemering
    ------ About the song Great Nations of Europe performed by Randy Newman

Nobody can do this like Randy. sure it's funny, but it's too painful to laugh. Because it's all true. You could finish your world history class, and on your way out, stop and listen to this and you'll learn more than you did in class all year

    ------ About the song Short People performed by Randy Newman

Some of you who have your "nose out of joint" really should relax. It is well known that if you take everything personally, you'll never be happy with anything. It's just a song. Besides, if you really paid attention, it actually says that we are really all the same no matter what. So - - - what are you all pissed off about - - - REALLY? Get a grip.
