Lyric discussion by mnonm 

About this line: "...Mickey Mouse... Now the workers have struck for fame"

This is a reference to the 1941 workers strike by Disney cartoonists and animators. Aside from low wages, one of their notable demands was to have their names appear in the film credits. Hence "workers have struck for fame".

@mnonm That is a very interesting tidbit. Very intricately woven into the song. I will always apprecite that lyric a little more from this point on.
