Randy Newman

[thepaulo]

I almost creamed my pants when I heard Benningon's doing an hour with Newman....I'm a life long fan and heard he has his first new album of new material in nine years ....the guy worksd constantly on soundtracks and has a ridiculous amount of Oscar nominations but the real treasure is his solo albums.

for the unfamiliar we can start with probably his biggest hit.




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 fett

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 got 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

[ChrisTheCop]

One of those that makes even more sense these days than when he first wrote it:

And I cant hear this song without thinking of the movie:
It also runs thru my head occasionally when I'm searching someone:

Also, I thought Ron was joking, no?

[El Mudo]

Great album...

[thepaulo]

I'll probably get banned for quoting these lyrics......

Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too
Well he may be a fool but he's our fool
If they think they're better than him they're wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along
And that's where I made this song

We talk real funny down here
We drink too much and we laugh too loud
We're too dumb to make it in no Northern town
And we're keepin' the niggers down

We got no-necked oilmen from Texas
And good ol' boys from Tennessee
And colleges men from LSU
Went in dumb. Come out dumb too
Hustlin' 'round Atlanta in their alligator shoes
Gettin' drunk every weekend at the barbecues
And they're keepin' the niggers down

CHORUS
We're rednecks, rednecks
And we don't know our ass from a hole in the ground
We're rednecks, we're rednecks
And we're keeping the niggers down

Now your northern nigger's a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger free

Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage on the South-Side of Chicago
And the West-Side
And he's free to be put in a cage in Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage in East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage in Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage in Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the niggers down

CHORUS

[Drunky McBetidont]

i thought they recorded this last week? i wonder when it will air or if it is like an unmasked without the audience? he was on letterman last week the same day he was said to be with rnf.

I love LA! we love it!

[mikeyboy]

Also, I thought Ron was joking, no?

Well O&A did talk about (and fuck around with) the piano they said was in studio for Ron & Fez's interview with Randy Newman on Tuesday. Tuesday, Ron & Fez ran the surprise Sunday show, so they might have recorded the Randy Newman interview on Tuesday.

[happytypinggirl]

[Dan G]

Supposedly it's going to air Sunday night at 9 est.

[thepaulo]

Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, Ill take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...thats right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live

Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They dont know what love is
They dont know what love is
They dont know what love is
They dont know what love is
I know what love is

[Hottub]

That's Mr. Bennington.

Anyway, I'd love to hear it.

[Death Metal Moe]

Umm, yea.

Sorry, gonna miss that one.

[Hottub]

Bump


It's on now.

seriously, randy newman makes me wish i were deaf

but to each their own

[thepaulo]

I love this guy motherfuckers....here's another song.

Sigmund Freud's Impersonation Of Albert Einstein In America
The world of science is my game
And Albert Einstein is my name
I was born in Germany
And I'm happy to be
Here in the land of the brave and the free
Yes, I'm happy to be
Here in the land of the brave and the free

In the year of nineteen five
Merely trying to survive
Took my knapsack in my hand
Caught a train for Switzerland

America, America
God shed his grace on Thee
You have whipped the Filipino
Now you rule the Western Sea

Americans dream of gypsies, I have found
Gypsy knives and gypsy thighs
That pound and pound and pound and pound
And African appendages that almost reach the ground
And little boys playing baseball in the rain

America, America
Step out into the light
You're the best dream man has ever dreamed
And may all your Christmases be white

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

Will Sasso is the best! Love his Kenny Rogers too.

[Death Metal Moe]

I don't even think I can be satisfied with a "To each their own" on this one. He's fucking terrible.

But what about when he replaced Ace Frehley in KISS???

[Thebazile78]

I forgot Newman did the theme song to the TV show Monk ... until I was watching a rerun where Snoop Dogg guest stars (and he rapped the theme song. Which made me laugh because I think mixing styles like that is hilarious.)

Hell, without his Short People, Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA wouldn't have had a familiar song to reappropriate for one of their early ad campaigns.

[thepaulo]

Want some whiskey in your water
Sugar in your tea
What's all these crazy questions they askin' me
This is the craziest party there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Open up the window
Let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin'
From the smell of stale perfume

And that cigarette you're smoking
'Bout scared me half to death
Open up the window, sucker
Let me catch my breath

[Refrain]
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, that ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, son

The radio is blastin'
Someone's knocking at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend
She's passed out on the floor

I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is
I don't wanna see no more

[Refrain]

Mama told me, mama told me, mama told me
Told me, told me
That ain't no way to have fun, whoah, yeah yeah
Mama told me not to come
Mama, mama, mama told me
That ain't no way to have fun

That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son
That ain't the way to have fun, no
That ain't the way to have fun, son

Thanks for the update.


I was going to ask you.

[zildjian361]

Randy wrote Guilty sung by the one and only Joe Cocker that's why i'm in the position i am today, and them some 8balls:smoke::drunk:

[thepaulo]

I ran out on my children
And I ran out on my wife
Gonna run out on you too, baby
I done it all my life
Everybody cried the night I left
Well, almost everybody did
My little boy just hung his head
And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
And this is what I said:
Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do

If I had one wish
One dream I knew would come true
Id want to speak to all the people of the world
Id get up there, Id get up there on that platform
First Id sing a song or two you know I would
Then Ill tell you what Id do
Id talk to the people and Id say
Its a rough rough world, its a tough tough world
Well, you know
And things dont always, things dont always go the way we plan
But theres one thing, one thing we all have in common
And its something everyone can understand
All over the world sing along

I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do

OK, that is a fairly evil song. Too bad Randy Newman probably sang it.

Randy Newman (seated) and those are the XM listeners I suppose?

:lol:

[thepaulo]

fuck all ignorant fucks.....no one to this day has done what Newman has been doing for nearly 40 years.....the closest was maybe Eminem.....

Here's a song from the criminally underrated Faust and one his lowest sellers (and that's saying something).....the CD was star studded back in the mid-nineties and here James Taylor as God is needled by Newman as the devil.

Glory Train

Lord: Will you pass on over?
Angels: Yes, Lord
L: Will you all pass over?
A: Yes, Lord
L: Will you pass on over, and join the Lord?

L: Have you been redeemed?
A: Yes we have
L: Have you been redeemed?
A: Yes we have
L: Then you can pass on over, you can join the Lord

I see some hard times coming
Fire and wind and rain
Billions of people, all scared of each other
Hearts full of envy and anger and pain

There on the edge of darkness
People come together again
Standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train
Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
They'll be standing on the platform
Waiting for the glory train

Lift up your head and stand tall
Let faith be your only guide
With all that love inside you
Salvation cannot be denied
Just when the storm is breaking
Just when no hope remains
Rollin' into the station
Here comes the glory train

Get on the glory train
Get on the glory train
It's rollin' into the station
Bound for glory, bound for glory
Get on the glory train

Devil: If I might intrude
Just for a moment
If only to inject a note of reality
On this festive occasion

In all my life
I don't believe I've ever heard such bullshit
Even from you
A master of bullshit
You know it
I know it
It's bullshit
Bullshit

All of the faith and prayer in the world
All of your dumb show and circuses
You know it's a lie
It'll always be a lie
The invention of an animal
Who knows he's going to die

Some fools in the desert
With nothing else to do
So scared of the dark
They didn't know if they were coming or going
So they invented me
And they invented you
And other fools will keep it all going
And growing

Everybody
We're a figment of their imagination
A beautiful dream, it is true
A figment of their imagination
Me and you
And you know it
Me and you

That's what I was thinking.

I realize he's not the greatest singer in the world....big fucking deal.....I don't think there's a man alive that knows more about music....all kinds of music.

Dude, take your meds Paul. You don't see me cursing at people because they don't embrace the brilliance of Hypocricy orSuffocation do you?

I heard some of the show with him, his voice is infuriating and his music lack luster. Sorry.

Here comes Moe with his O-pin-ion...

[thepaulo]

Don't worry Moe....I'm not really angry but I was looking to start a fight with somebody...not you though since your preference is pretty clear....and that's fine....but I do believe passionately about this guy and I would like to take a bat to someone who's walking through the neighborhood that I don't like the looks of.....in other words, somebody who actually knows something about Randy and doesn't like him.....come on, baby.
