Não consigo pensar nesse tema (piada sobre anões) sem lembrar da já clássica “Let Me Hold You (Little Man)”, a canção que marca a entrada de Dewey Cox, o protagonista do filme Walk Hard, para o time dos cantores de protesto. Sente a letra:

All the elevator buttons
So incredibly high
I stand today for the midget
At the size of a regular guy

Let Me Hold You Little Man
As the parade passes by
Let Me Hold You Little Man
We’ll make believe you can fly

You shout for me to put you down
But I’m marching today for your cause
I’m bangin’ the drum
Your big day will come
When they remake the wizard of Oz

Let Me Hold You Midget Man
We’ll pretend that you’re flyin in space
Let Me Hold You Little Man
So the dog will stop licking your face

Little Shoes, Little Pants
Little Song, Little Dance
Little Heart, Little Mind
But your rights are as big as mine

Na, Na-Na-Na, Na-Na-Na-Na
Na-Na Na Na-Na Na Na
Thank God I’m Tall
I won’t let you fall
We’re all midget, one and for all
Thank God I’m Tall
I won’t let you fall
We’re all midget, and some are just small

Stand Up For The Little People!

Esse Walk Hard parece imbecil, mas no fim é um bom filme. O John C. Riley, em especial, é muito bom.
