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.

Viva Hate: 15 anti-Morrissey songs by Jason Heller - The A.V. Club

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")...

1. Ween “I Hate The Smiths”
2. Warlock Pinchers “Morrissey Rides A Cockhorse”
3. The Mountain Goats “Anti-Music Song”
4. Meatmen “Morrissey Must Die”
5. Turbonegro “Deathtime”
6. Pansy Division “Homo Christmas”
7. Mr. Floppy “100,000 Morrisseys”
8. Nerf Herder “For You”
9. The Sextants “Morrissey”
10. The Dead Milkmen “Instant Club Hit (You’ll Dance To Anything)”
11. A Wilhelm Scream “Me Vs. Morrissey In The Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match)”
12. O Pioneers!!! “My Life As A Morrissey Song”
13. Electronic “Getting Away With It”
14. Pet Shop Boys “Miserablism”
15. Sparks “Lighten Up, Morrissey”
