"Moribund the Burgermeister" is a song by English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It is the B-side to his 1977 single "Solsbury Hill", and it is the first track on his 1977 eponymous debut album. The song is about a nervous disorder called Sydenham's chorea that causes rapid jerking movements in its victims. Saint Vitus claimed to have had a cure for the disease. Gabriel had the idea for the song after reading a book about Middle Age epidemics.[1]
