Randy Newman is playing Clearwater’s Capitol Theatre on November 19, and he’s probably going to have a lot of people catcalling for a new, unreleased song.
DO THIS: RANDY NEWMAN AT CAPITOL THEATRE 11.19.17
Our friends A.V. Club have pointed out that the Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winner wrote a song about 45’s johnson that was too vulgar and inappropriate for these times.
“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,” Newman, 73, told Vulture. Newman, who’ll be touring behind material from a new LP (Dark Matter, due in August) when he arrives in Clearwater, did give up some of the 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.
The un-recorded song’s chorus? “What a dick!"
Listen to a Randy Newman song called “Putin” as a consolation prize, and get more information on the October show via local.cltampa.com.
