I love the A.V. Club and I figured this list would get some attention on this page. Enjoy the anti-Moz fever, although, as the article mentions, a good many of these are written tongue in cheek.

It's worth noting how many of the songs contain homophobic lyrics.

Also:
PSB's Behaviour sleevenotes said that the lyrics to Electronic's "Getting Away With it" (co-written by Tennant with Sumner) are a parody of Morrissey's public stereotyping as morose and masochistic (Pet Shop Boys would further satirize this trend on their 1990 song "Miserablism")...
