I wrote this song in high school around 2006. My band Biscuits and Gravy used to host a weekly open mic night at Cafe Coco and we didn't have that many songs to play. So we would all make up songs on the spot and do super long solos on our instruments and I would freestyle for hours. So this song came about as a joke live. I would play these chords on the piano (these are literally the only chords i know lol) and eventually I came up with a funny chorus about my height. When I realized people liked it, I added a few more verses. Our first hit was born. People went crazy for this song live, call and response, singing every word haha. I still get asked about this song today. Guess I'm not the only person with a napoleon complex!
