theres a randy newman song that the whitlams cover called short people. it goes down very well live. the short people in the audience particularly enjoy it, even though it doesnt really say nice things about them.
its like that REM song, the one i love. people listen to the first line and think its beautiful and decide to use it for their bridal waltz, when the words say
'this one goes out to the one i love
this one goes out to the one i left behind
a simple prop to occupy my time'

unless they were actualy thinking about the significant others hiding in the wings, that song sint really the best to be playing a your wedding.
anyway, short people

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here
