Simon and Garfunkel. "A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Simple_Desultory_Philippic_(or_How_I_Was_Robert_McNamara%27d_into_Submission)

"I been Ayn Randed and nearly branded
A communist 'cause I'm left handed
That's the hand to use - well, never mind" (might be "boys", mem's a little off)
bop-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop-boppity-bop

Good sendup on pop culture

in a Dylanish voice (with harmonica between lines):
"I know a man who thinks he's smart
Can't thinka nothin' atall
Not the same as you and me
He doesn't dig poetry
He's so unhip
When you say Dylan
He thinks you're talkin' 'bout Dylan Thomas
Whoevah he was"

I can't believe I remember all this. Ironically, the hippest thing you could do at the time was to mock hip. Nice rock'n'roll studio backup.

A lot of Dylan mockery, but also a lot of broad-spectrum pop-mockery. Who else has Ayn Rand in a song?

I wonder what Mr. Simon thought of Bob's xms album?
