Weird Al's "Bob"

[Cocoa]

Is that the most inspired parody song/video ever?

How does someone come up with something like that? :wow:

[Cush]

1. never heard of it

whats it a parody of?

[Cocoa]

2. Subterranean homesick blues

by Bob Dylan.

The video parodies the old Dylan video, the black and white one where he's holding up the cue cards.

And they lyrics are all hilarious palindromes, and so is the name of the song, and it matches the music perfectly. :-)

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot or to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see god?
"Do nine men interprite?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfish as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No evil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

3. "Bob Roberts" parodied that Dylan video back in 1992

It was Tim Robbins holding up the cue cards.
