Dylan

I watched the first part of the Bob Dylan documentary on PBS last night and I liked it very much. It got me thinking about the great parody of Dylan on National Lampoon's Lemmings, which was a parody of Woodstock. Listen here. They took the title of his song "Positively 4th Street" and created a song "Positively Wall Street", which was sung by Rumpus favorite Christopher Guest:

You say the world's in trouble'
You say you don't feel free,
You don't know where you're goin'
Well brother, don't ask me.
I don't give a darn.
Out behind the barn.

(Chorus)

Oh, out behind the barn
I'm chewin' on a piece of hay,
I'm up to my knees in cows**t
I'm shoveling' my blues away.

You say I was your leader
You say I turned you on,
You're startin' to suspect now
It was all a con.
I don't give a darn
Out behind the barn.

You say I owe you somethin',
You ask me for my plan.
Just who were you expectin'
Jesus Zimmerman?
I don't give a darn
Out behind the barn.

(To the unitiated, Dylan was born Robert Zimmerman in Duluth, Minnesota).
