2. The University of Bridgeport
in Conn., 'cause it's run by the Moonies (get it? moon? Moonies?)

http://www.radaronline.com/features/2006/09/the_nine_worst_colleges_in_america.php

The Worst College in America: University of Bridgeport (CT)
In the mid-nineties, this tragic university was about to go belly up when it was rescued by an unseemly savior—The Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church. Though the Moonie's have been accused of fraud, high-pressure recruitment tactics, and wrenching troubled kids from their parents, the cult's $100 million "endowment" secured the Moonies' leader, Neil Salonen, his position as the university's president. While there are no reports of students being forced to hock
(hawk -Ed.) roses on the street, that's only because the town's other residents would probably steal them. With the exception of a few bail-bond purveyors, downtown Bridgeport (where the school is situated on a vast stretch of crumbling asphalt) has been all but abandoned by local businesses. The mayor of this boarded-up, drug-dealer's paradise, John Fabrizi, has admitted to abusing cocaine while in office. His predecessor is serving a nine-year sentence for racketeering, bribery, extortion, mail fraud, and tax evasion. Happily, he's scheduled to emerge just in time to address U.B.'s 2010 graduating class.

I could have done without the gratuitous slap at Bridgeport itself, where I grew up, and where there are many perfectly OK neighborhoods; the South End, where "Moon Unit U." is located, just doesn't happen to be one of them.

3. Terrific Steely Dan song about the Moonies:
I'm not one to look behind I know that times must change
But over there in Barrytown they do things very strange
And though you're not my enemy
I like things like they used to be
And though you'd like some company
I'm standing by myself
Go play with someone else
I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

Don't believe I'm taken in by stories I have heard
I just read the Daily News and swear by every word
And don't think that I'm out of line
For speaking out for what is mine
I'd like to see you do just fine
But look at what you wear
And the way you cut your hair

I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

In the beginning we recall that the word was hurled
Barrytown people got to be from another world

Leave me or I'll be just like the others you will meet
They won't act as kindly if they see you on the street
And don't you scream or make a shout
It's nothing you can do about
It was there where you came out
It's a special lack of grace
I can see it in your face

I can see by what you carry that you come from Barrytown

"Barrytown," Pretzel Logic, 1974.
