Haha. I know you'll believe me when I say that I thought about that a lot before I posted it. :) Since the song is about the vengeance of the titular "angry dwarf," I think it's right without the comma. He is in fact a little man who is a (relatively) big man's nightmare.

So, here's my question about this particular Ben Fold's Five lyric. Is it "I'm your nightmare little man" or "I'm your nightmare, little man"?
There are two very different meanings here.
Damn commas.

I do believe you, and I also think that you're right.
As an aside, the word "titular" sounds dirty and always makes me giggle a little bit even though I know full well what it means.
