Nogen gange, så kommer man til at tænke på en rigtig ond sangtekst som man en gang har hørt, og så går man og griner lidt for sig selv. Som når jeg tænker på Denis Leary’s Asshole. Og så kan man godt få en craving, en trang, til ligesom at høre sangen.

I dag kom jeg til at tænke på Short People (af Randy Newman). Det er jo en dejlig tekst, ikke? Det ville selvfølgelig være sjovere hvis jeg postede dette og selv var underhøj, men jeg er nu en gang over female average, så bare kald mig evil. Jeg synes den her sang er så sjov.

Og teksten, den er lige her:

Short People

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Round here

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)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
‘Round here

Bonusinfo: Der er al mulig grund til at holde af Randy Newman for mig – han har lavet musikken til adskillige Pixar-film, inklusiv Monsters Inc-hittet If I Didn’t Have You og det lidt ældre publikum vil nok bedst huske ham som manden bag You Can Leave Your Hat On.
