*“Short People” by Randy Newman is a snarky, satirical jab masquerading as a pop song, delivering a wildly exaggerated roast of vertically-challenged folks with lines so ludicrous they border on cartoon villainy. With its bouncing piano and upbeat melody, the song mocks short people for everything from their “little hands” to their inability to “get around,” all while clearly winking at the listener with tongue planted firmly in cheek. It’s less an actual insult and more a biting parody of bigotry itself—but on the surface, it’s basically a musical roast that tells short people they’ve got “no reason to live,” delivered with the cheer of a children’s singalong.
