It needs to be said from time to time. Randy Newman, of recent Disney movie infamy, sucks the shit out of a wet rat’s ass.
Boomers will tell you he’s is one of the greatest songwriters of their time. Right up there with Bobby Dylan they say. Faint praise I say. If he has written a good song, its only because he is a chronic songwriter.

Completely agree. He's absolutely terrible. I think they just keep him in the stock room with all of the other props and pull him out when it's time to roll the credits.
DouchBag, that say's it all. look at the feedback. This guy is a NOBODY!!!!!
Randy Newman needs to die! He blows for small change. Does he have a speech impediment or does he just suck dick perpetually? He honestly sound like he has down syndrome. And his song arrangements are all the same lame happy go lucky family friendly crap that's lobotomizing this country. I really hope he dies all alone, a painful and slow death from some rare disease no one can cure.
I recently found this article and can't express how happy it made me to see that it was published on my birthday. I'm a parent, one that isn't a big fan of cartoons as it is. Having to listen to his gay little buddy, buddy songs over and over again has, at times, made me consider ending my life. How does one live in a world that could produce some one that is so wretched? Randy Newman is a ball licker and I hope that if there is ever a revision of Dantes Inferno, a special place in hell is reserved specifically for him. Fuck you Randy Newman. No seriously dude, fuck you.
Lol you are clearly not familiar with his work. Take a listen to "Bad News From Home" and try to tell me he only writes happy go lucky family friendly crap.
The guy has been writing songs since the 60s and has recieved high praise from the likes of Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon as one of the greatest songwriters alive. Don't judge him because you heard one song he did for Disney. Check out "I Think It''s Going to Rain Today" or "Bad News From Home" and you will see this guy has some serious song writing skills
Sorry cody, but Randy Newman is to music what Piss Christ is to art. The guy produces mind numbing garbage. I must also agree with what a previous poster wrote, RN does sound like he has a serious mental handicap when he "sings".
Haha... Randy Newman does have more depth than just the Disney/Pixar themes as a lyricist, but *holy shit* his "singing" voice is horrible - offensive, even. He sounds like a mentally challenged dwarf shoved into an oven, screaming for help. Some of his stuff does feature a bit of interesting social commentary (not the Toy Story era) but I find it completely inaccessible as his musings conjure a mental image of a severely retarded sex offender getting prison raped. YuuU GAAAAHT uh freeyun eun meeeh....
Have worked in the music industry for years, and would have to say that I'm not impressed with him as a writer and certainly not as a human. Sure, Disney seems to like him, but if you look at the whole body of his works I wouldn't ay that a person who'd write songs like "Davey the Fat Boy", "Short People", "Korean Parents", "Rednecks", or "Sail Away", has a kind or tolerant personality. as a person with dwarfism, his song "Short People" made my adolescence a living hell and my experience was not unique.
I can't think much of this person.
All his shit sounds exactly the same! Anytime there's a movie with one of his songs, it just makes me cringe..would rather hear chalk going down a blackboard than his tired ass voice!
I also have to agree with Lynn, his short people song, which sucked ass, made my childhood just a little bit tougher.
I don't get it. I mean, I seriously don't get why he has a career as a songwriter and musician. Reminds me of the worst elements of Joe Cocker and Bob Dylan, with an added element of retardation. Told my wife this morning that hearing Randy Newman's voice in a great movie is like finding a live cockroach in the bottom of a box of hot, buttered popcorn. I sometimes fantasize about throwing Randy Newman screaming out of a helicopter.

"If he has written a good song, its only because he is a chronic songwriter." Well put. He's the musical equivalent of an infinite amount of monkeys randomly banging away at typewriters and eventually writing something good.
I used to play his classic 12 Songs album quite a bit back in the day. And I like that the average person doesn't "get" his lyric meanings most of the time. He is adept at the art of High Irony. Obviously, songs like Short People and other seemingly offensive titles and lyrics are supposed to be IRONIC in that most people in the world are either stupid and/or prejudicial by nature. I like that he is a LEFTIST in political views because true Socialism and Sharing of the Global wealth is what the entire planet NEEDS. It will never happen, but I prefer living in TRUTH - even though there is no hope in everyday reality. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way with Randy is that he is a proud and confirmed Atheist . That turns me off completely . Not that most people in the world that profess to being religious or Godly are actually religious or Godly. So THAT I do get. If that's the point Randy is trying to make. I just think he's rather ignorant for believing that he has not been used by the God who made the Universe and Us. Because if nothing else, God too is Ironic in his ways........
Fuck Trump
Yall are crazy just listen to short people
Just watched Parenthood, a 1989 movie, an ugh...Randy Newman in the beginning credits. Hated him when I was a little kid with Short People and hate him more now with his cookie cutter song. Will Sasso did a great parody of this living turd on MadTv that is a must see. I think the only reason he was popular is because he has a mental deficiency and so people feel good about themselves when they praise his "work". Kind of like when the defensive line of a football team parts like the red sea to let the kids with a handicap run a touchdown.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Newman RN was Hollywood royalty. "Born in Los Angeles to an extended family of Hollywood film composers" means "He doesn't have to be good he knows people"
There you go. Explains a lot.
You’re an IDIOT
I just wish they would have kept the original theme song for Monk(it was just acoustic guitar). A detective show whose driving force is "my wife died by car bomb and now I solve murders to deal with my ocd and constantly talk about my dead wife" yup wheel out randy and have him drool all over it and bang away on those ivories. It's a jungle out there...who ever decided he was a better fit is about as tone deaf as newman. I could be wrong but I really don't think so
