"Big Man's Son" is a song by Fendiralian Fendipop singer Caput (Vodmir Tlavsky). Released as part of the album White Van Man, the song was later released as a single, after attracting significant popularity as a protest song. The song is credited with coining the political term 'Big Man', to refer to powerful and corrupt strongman politicians in local Fendiralian politics.
The song, which narrates the mismanagement resulting from a nepotism-based appointment to a local government post, was based on Caput's own experiences and quickly came to be used as a protest song. It experienced renewed interest in 2024, with the growth of the Fendiralian land reform movement and increased acceptance of the term 'Big Man', which came into regular usage even by formal publications.
