Objectivist Morrissey Back in Action

I feel I've been neglecting Objectivist Morrissey, but Objectivist Morrissey doesn't need my pity! Anyway, this might be my second-best effort after the original Objectivist Morrissey parody. Anyway, without further ado, here's Man in Gulch:


Man in gulch
The dumb blind louts are left behind
No, I’m not like any other man
I’m superior ‘cause I’m not kind
Man in gulch
I can do whatever I can
And everything depends upon
My magic power plant.
And if the moochers whine
Then let the moochers whine.
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care
Not your slave...

Man in gulch
The weak people whine
Yes I may be hidden by so well,
All the moochers can go to hell.
Man in gulch
The dumb blind louts are left behind
Yes I may be hidden by so well,
All the moochers can go to hell.
And if the moochers whine
Then let the moochers whine.
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't car
Not your slave...

So man in gulch, I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare tax a bit of my bread
I'll fight to the last breath
For the moochers are out there somewhere,
So come into my gulch my little Dagny
But you lice can go to hell
Yes you lice can go to hell
And you'll probably never see me again
I hope you’ll never see me again.
I know you’ll never see me again.



For those of you not into Der Schmidts, this is a parody of Hand in Glove:





The inspiration for this one was a bit bizarre- the phrase "man in gulch" had been kicking around inside my skull for a while, but it took some time before I had a rhyme for the bizarre line "the sun shines out of our behinds", and when it did, I knew I had a winner.

  1. Did somebody say parody?

    I have to admit that I paid little attention to the Smiths back in the day. I had all that punk from the late 70s-81 (aka collage), and I just kept playing it.

  2. The Smiths' first album came out in '84, if I recall correctly. For some reason, I just thought that an Ayn Rand/Morrissey mash-up was particularly hilarious.

  3. I played the hell out of "the Queen Is Dead" in one of my studios.

  4. The "sun shines out of our behinds" part kinda fits...

  6. "Der Schmidts"

    We NEED to have an all-girl polka band covering Smiths songs.
