"Little Man, What Now?" is a song performed by Morrissey on his album "Viva Hate". It was written by Morrissey and his producer Stephen Street.
A reference to Morrissey's love of 1960s kitchen sink drama, the song details the fall of a minor celebrity from a TV star in the 1960s to an unknown in the 1970s. With a title stolen from the 1932 book, "Kleiner Mann, was nun?" ("Little Man, What Now?") by Hans Fallada, based upon German social problems and lyric themes borrowed from the old Judy Garland song "I'm Just an In-Between", about being at once too young and too old.There are contrasting theories of who the "little man" of the title is, with the two most common names mentions being Roger Tonge of "Crossroads" and Jack Wild who appeared as the Artful Dodger in the musical film, "Oliver!", and later on ATV's "Look Familiar".
The song was performed live by Morrissey on his 2002 and 2004 tours.
