“Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” came out Dec. 21, 2007, and quickly vanished from theaters in a matter of a few weeks. Even the red-hot producer Judd Apatow and the first attempt of John C. Reilly playing the lead couldn’t prevent this film from bombing at the box office.

But for those that did see it, you will remember a song that exemplified the historic career Dewey Cox had. When the spirit of the ‘60s was alive with musicians protesting the Vietnam War, the cause that Dewey Cox was fighting for was no small feat.

“Let Me Hold You (Little Man)” is an ode to little people in the form of song. Cox has a deep connection to little people and the equality they deserve. “All the elevator buttons/All so incredibly high/I stand today for the midget/At the size of a regular guy.”

The lone celebrity to speak up for little people does so with compassion and dedication. When he says “Let me hold you little man/As the parade passes by/Let me hold you little man/ We’ll make believe you can fly,” this march song is at its best.

If you’re one of the five people who saw the movie, you’ll understand this song’s importance. But if you haven’t, please see it.
