Randy Newman ... one hit wonder, and it was a stupid song.
I’m guessing you’re talking about “Short People.” I didn’t even realize that was him until I looked it up just now. My first thoughts were “I Love LA” (as a Celtics fan, I don’t) and “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” but that still doesn’t seem Hall-worthy. (Apparently he also wrote “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”)
How about his tv brand new smash single (makes me want to smash it) “I want a white President”. Short People was a fun novelty song but hall of fame worthy? I dont think so.
