There's no doubt that Randy Newman is a songwriter of legendary status; over the last four decades, he has become renowned for his often cynical but always truthful take on the world.
That extends to his new album, too, it seems.
Newman releases 'Dark Matter', his first album in nine years, next month and although there's a song called 'Putin' on it (which is about a shirtless photo of the Russian president), it almost had one about Donald Trump, too.
In a new interview with Spin, Newman said that he had almost included a song that was about Trump's penis, but "the language was too vulgar. It felt too easy.” He added: "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."
However, he did share a snippet of the song's lyrics:
"My dick’s bigger than your dick
It ain’t braggin’ if it’s true
My dick’s bigger than your dick
I can prove it too
There it is! There’s my dick
Isn’t that a wonderful sight?
Run to the village, to town, to the countryside
Tell the people what you’ve seen here tonight"
It's not quite 'You've Got a Friend in Me', but here's hoping for a b-sides and rarities collection at some point.
