In 1978, legislation was introduced to make playing the song 'Short People' on the radio illegal in Maryland. Newman often pokes fun at the misinterpretation of his song during concerts, sarcastically announcing, 'I hate short people, it's true. The reason I don't say anything is because the record label's afraid I'll tell people what I really think.'
