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).
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).
