My Life Is Good.

[@bapyou]

I've been a Randy Newman fan for more than 30 years. His songs have such range. From love songs to the socio-political satire and commentary for which he is most cherised. For sheer looniness, one of my favorites is 'Party at my House' (from Trouble in Paradise?). The lines "Hey Bobbie! Get the rope!" send me into peals of laughter. Who else would write that? Who else would even dare/think to put that in a song?

[@red425]

I agree barlowpicks, truely Randy Newman's best song.

[@puelemueix]

I have been looking for this song since Randy sang it on Saturday Night Live in the 70's. Thank You so much for posting it.

[@bapyou]

That song, and the party it describes, happen in middle America every weekend. The fact that he can write such a song is what makes Newman such a valuable songwriter/observer.

[@idranktodie]

Yeah, I like this version the best out of all the ones I've heard... The album version is awesome in an extremely 80's sounding way and the randy newman songbook version is good and chill, but this one is oh so awesome and perfect!

[@andyjumanji]

This song is brilliant!!!

[@konopelli]

Somebody said this is the essence of Ran... Right, the fuuk, ON! Every tune on "I Love LA" is great, without exception. Him, Paul Simon, and Warren Zevon (rip) were/are the smartest song-writers of their (my) generation.

[@geeflat]

His few words can cut straight to the heart of that self-absorption. Try his song: "Something To Sing About". He just manages to find smugness and writes about it. Perhaps he sees it everywhere. Perhaps it is everywhere.

What a commentary - and the ending on the keys harmonically speaking, is why this man is so outstanding - in addition to everything else about his style especially his unique sense of humor.

[@louis1973]

Great Tune. Cheers.

[@peterhb]

the MTV tag at the end is great nostalgia! remember when? I barely do.

[@pongqi]

Fantastic!

[@beandolan]

Thanks a million for posting this - awesome!

[@PrinceHassanBee]

Love it wow-Amazing!!!

[@SeanCarroll1220]

He's so simplistic

[@mayorofwilsonville]

Randy is crazy

[@022877]

this song game out in 1983..Trouble In Paradise

[@Regency500]

Randy Newman "Trouble In Paradise"

[@SavvyTroglodyte]

Seems to be a lot better as a live performance. His irony is so thick you can almost taste it.

[@cptnspldng]

"How would YOU like to be the Boss for awhile?"

[@cyberspace667]

Well, yeah! 🤠

[@petrov32]

CRACKED sent me here.

[@scottandrewhutchins]

This is the unofficial theme song of the teabagger movement.

[@SJ363]

I actually think Randy Newman is a madman, but the best singing madman on the goddamn planet!

[@bapyou]

One of the greatest songs ever written and performed. Hilarious. This song encapsulates the gratuitous wealth and the arrogance of the wealthy that is L.A. Build the walls higher in your gated communities.

[@MoveOverCasanova]

the songs sounds like he has really experienced it - -the springsteen insult is just so explicit - -but anyway, such a minimovie of a song can only come from the one - -randy newman,-- he is simply funny and real

[@YourRealBestFriend]

Buy an album.

[@strexus]

Yes,I think the character in the song is saying " Im alright jack,screw you" You know.like showbiz types with too much money and to little understanding of real life. but i wouldnt 2nd guess Randy Newman+i stand to be corrected if wrong! I often get confused with satire and irony.

[@JeanCocteau777]

7 people realized this song was about them and threw a little fit.

[@mayorofwilsonville]

randys the only one that sounds good live

[@crunchmario]

whoa...whoa...you mean "YOU'RE making everybody hate cracked"

[@wiredranchvideo]

“My life is good, you old bag” does NOT work well as a Tinder opening line… Fun song from one of the all time greats!

[@blackheartlewis]

does anybody have any interviews with randy ?

[@bigstaha]

i dont get why people laugh during this. i see the humor. but i find it more poetic and beautiful than humorous. its the same as regina spektor or lilly allen. thats just my lil ole opinion

[@stupidbobby275]

Yeah but the album version is different this one. I like this one better....

[@atomashin]

What would you think if Mexicans gave Randy death threats for what he said? That's what's going on in Israel - a Musican named Shlomi Shaban translated the song to Hebrew and changed the word Mexican to Druze for geographical reasons and for satirical reasons. The Druzes appearantly don't have a sense of Satire and don't understand that Shlomi is on their side so they send him death threats even after he appologized to their leader. What would you think if that happened to Randy Newman?

[@Regency500]

I have this song on a CD, I can send it to you but I need your E-mail address to do it.

[@Regency500]

I got it ready, but I still need your E-Maild address. It won't let me send it over youtube. Go to my channel and post it there so I can send the song to you, I also need to know if you will play the song on an Ipod so I can convert it to the correct encoding.

[@OneCreator87]

HAHAha Life is a shit =P so its this song

[@xTakTak1]

so is he basically saying he doesnt care about prolems because is life is good? lol

[@AgentOrange2012]

this guy thinks he is a blac man
