"A Simple Desultory Philippic (Or How I Was Robert McNamara'd Into Submission)" is a song written by American singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Originally recorded for Simon's 1965 UK-only debut, ''The Paul Simon Songbook'', it was recorded soon after by Simon and his partner, Art Garfunkel, for the duo's third album ''Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme''. It is generally considered a parody of American musician Bob Dylan's writing style, especially that of "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)", a lengthy piece released on Dylan's 1965 album ''Bringing It All Back Home''. The original version was subtitled "Or how I was Lyndon Johnson'd into Submission" in a spoken introduction at the beginning, after Simon announced the song's title. The subtitle does not appear on the sleeve or the disc label. ==Definition== "Desultory" means lacking a plan, or a poor effort, a disappointing performance,〔(Definition of "desultory" at M-W Dictionary )〕 and a "philippic" is another word for a tirade, a loud verbal rant, especially one which attacks a political figure or figures specifically (originally, as in Demosthenes' attacks on Philip II of Macedonia).〔(Definition of "philippic" at M-W Dictionary )〕
