Legendary songwriter Randy Newman must not know what they say about tiny hands.
Legendary songwriter Randy Newman must not know what they say about tiny hands.
Newman revealed that in preparation for his upcoming album, he wrote a song about Donald Trump’s junk from the President’s point of view, and though he passed on it because it was “too vulgar, ” the tune included lyrics like, “My d–k’s bigger than your d–k.”
Newman, also an accomplished film composer who’s racked up 20 Oscar nominations and two wins, said that writing about The Donald, grandiose statements and all, proved too easy.
“The language was too vulgar. It felt too easy, ” Newman told Vulture. “The song was ‘My d–k’s bigger than your d–k / It ain’t braggin’ if it’s true / My d–k’s bigger than your d–k / I can prove it too / There it is! There’s my d–k / Isn’t that a wonderful sight? / Run to the village, to town, to the countryside / Tell the people what you’ve seen here tonight.”

And that wasn’t all from the musician, whose more PG songs include “You’ve Got a Friend in Me, ” the theme from “Toy Story.”
“The hook was ‘What a d–k! Duh-duh-duh. What a d–k!'” Newman recalled. “But I just didn’t want to add to the problem of how ugly the conversation we’re all having is, so I didn’t put it out.”
One song that did make the cut on Newman’s forthcoming album “Dark Matter”? A satirical ode to Russian leader Vladmir Putin called “Putin.”
“The funny thing was that the song I ended up writing wasn’t even that hard on him, despite the fact that he’s a terrible person, ” Newman said of the track.

“Putin” includes lyrics like, “Putin puttin’ his pants on / One leg at a time / You mean he’s just like a regular fella, huh? / He ain’t nothing like a regular fella.”
