Ayn Rand Sucks, by Matthew Grimm and the Red Smear, a band from Iowa of all places. You can find the lyrics here (and I've pasted below): http://www.redsmear.com/dea.php
and can listen to it on their MySpace page. http://www.myspace.com/redsmear

I've posted this link to their "One Big Union" before. It's worth a view :

Ayn Rand Sucks (words and music by Matthew Grimm)

She pulled herself up by her bootstraps, from the magnate schools and sandtraps of the
Gritty streets of the northshore burbs
With but her wits and her trustfund, she set herself off from the poor and dumb
Whom she would gladly kick back to the curb

All her piercings and tattoos belie her stark conformo views as spewed by
Think tanks, Wall Street, all the rightwing thugs
She’s kinda smart but not enough, because her facebook page lists all the stuff
she likes, foremost among them Atlas Shrugged

(But) Ayn Rand sucks
She wrote really badly workmanlike and dogmatically
Sucks like any other high-priced whore
Cause Ayn Rand sucks
Overwrought and deified harlequin romance scribe
She sucks so hard her jaw must still be sore

The Unseen Hand might lift all yachts
But the rest it seems to punch right in the dick
“Enlightened self-interest” is a goddamn oxymoron
Used by lazy-thinking douchebags to be narcissistic pricks

She says Ron Paul is cool, though he’d defund her hipster school
She Mainlines Friedman’s fascist crap like bathtub crank
Says the cream will always rise by DNA and enterprise
But she denies she’s just another Nazi skank

(But) Ayn Rand sucks
She wrote really badly workmanlike and dogmatically
Sucks like any other high-priced whore
Cause Ayn Rand sucks
Overwrought and deified harlequin romance scribe
She sucks so hard her jaw must still be sore

Cause Ayn Rand sucks
She wrote really badly, hamfistedly, dogmatically
Sucks beyond all circumstance and pomp
Ayn Rand sucks
If rich folks’re all so keen, what’s with the meltdowns and subpoenas
Mein Kampf by other names is still Mein Kampf

"“Enlightened self-interest” is a goddamn oxymoron
