This video is a must see whether or not you are a Dylan fan. Weird Al can be a goof, but he can also be a genius. Each line of this send-up of a Dylan song is a palindrome – which means it can be read forward and backward (think “radar” but instead of a single word, entire sentences.)
The delicious irony is that some of these nonsensical lyrics sound every bit as profound as some of Dylan’s stream-of-consciousness word combinations. Have a look: YouTube – “Weird Al” Yankovic – Bob.
“Go hang a salami, I’m a lasagna hog” is my favorite line.
