Lyrics:
Johnny's in the basement, mixin' up the medicine
I'm on the pavement, thinkin' about the government
The man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it's somethin' you did
God knows when, but you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alleyway, looking for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap in a pig pen
Wants 11 dollar bills - you only got 10
#SubterraneanHomesickBlues #BobDylan #OfficialVideo #HD #Remastered
This video continues to blow my mind. Such a powerful and strong lyric set put against a REALLY awkward looking young Bob looking around for affirmation occasionally that it's going well. One of my favorite music videos of all time.
He never came across awkward here to me, just totally deadpan. He was with friends, and this video was his idea, not sure why he'd be uncomfortable.
That is a look of a REBEL.
My celebrity crush is Bob Dylan right around this age. So handsome yet he seems so quirky and awkward while still being very serious. I'd kill for a man like that.

With regard to your Bob Dylan comments - the 'video' was actually the opening sequence to the 'biopic' filmed on Dylan's tour to Great Britain in 1965 by DA Pennabaker. The captions I think were created by Dylan's friend Bobby Neuerwith (?) who can be seen throughout the whole film - also on the cover (half of him !) of Highway 61 Revisited. The bearded gentleman in the background who walks away at the end is Allen Ginsberg the 'Beat' poet.
His Intelligence!!!@@yelljal2764
He invented the "Official lyrics" videos
But he was a pioneer in the "pop-up videos"!!
No sir. Disney beat him to it by decades.
Well, this is actually the first music video, as we know them :)
Eammon Wright: This discussion I've had before. And I took your side. The woman I spoke with didn't hear it that way, and I tried several tracks. Even gave Blondie's 'Rapture' a shot but to no avail. She was young -- and as can be the case -- enamored with her generation's contribution and unwilling to concede innovation to anyone else, not even a helping hand, not even Bible could do it -- There's no 'new thing' under the sun. Wouldn't hear it. Carrot Top to her invented standup comedy.
It's not rap. It is folk. Hear the guitar and harmonica. You don't get guitar and harmonica with rap. This tune seems to have more of a bubblegum sound rather than rap. Do you hear the easy flow of the words. While conveying a message, this song doesn't seem as confrontational or intimidating as rap would be. The nice guy in the video is throwing his cards easily, and not beating someone over the head with them. Another thing, rap, along with hip hop, are predominantly a part of African American culture. Mr. Dylan, I believe was a white dude.
Love him or hate him, he's speaking straight facts here.
Yellow Dog With Cone lmao
Shut up
No shit man!!!
Why would anybody hate him because of his politics
@@georgeguja6155maybe for his voice, or maybe because he is overrated...
This is a pioneering anthem,hybridized influences that birthed hip hop and rap music, it's a total game changer,also listen to subterranean homesick alien by the great radiohead!!!

Dylan spittin fire back in '65
After all these years I just realized that's Allen Ginsberg in the background.
Yes, but who's the man in shades talking to him?
@@shanehnorman Bob Neuwirth, a friend of Dylan's.
@@grecomic Thank you. I remember he also featured in 'Renaldo and Clara'.
WHAT
It’s also filmed in the back kitchen alleyway at the Savoy hotel. Nice pointless fact for you there 😂
People seriously underestimate this song. Nothing absolutely NOTHING else sounded like this back in 1965. Not only is he using Electric guitar to sing folk music, not only is he protesting in his lyrics, not only is he inventing the music video but he's also singing talking blues (aka Rhythm and Poetry) (aka Rap) he's inventing rapping as we know it. In 1965!
What he did in 1965 was an absolute shattering of the mold and done so with unabashed confidence: like, here it is, listen up.
it's just recording north american foklore in real time, which is very rare to be done this good, which is sad. there is this kind of lament about the horrible life lived by people while working out the similitudes and the metaphores that reach into *your* soul in every culture around the world, and they all change over time but the really good ones, the great ones that make themselves known and reknown, read, reread and retold, over time, those always find a way to keep telling their story over time. i'm sure you all know the great ones of your countires - mine are Violeta, Patricio, Víctor and so many, many more - especially in comedy! So many find a way to make their ideas resonate with others through the dark process of making you laugh at any price!
edit: more redudancies
Nothing still sounds like this
Thank you. At last, someone agrees this is the first rap song ever. It would be another twenty five years or so before rap / hip-hop would begin to overshadow rock and roll. Which is not a trend I particularly love.
Which music is least likely to be in heaven? Bach, Rock, Bacharach, Brubeck, Dylan or Eminem?

I have one of those actual cards he holds up. My dad and his friend were there at the recording of this when my dad worked as a black cab driver in London. He picked up one, his friend picked up a few, apparently. My dad said I could have his about 20 yrs ago. Still got it, now in a frame! Nice to see Nobel Prizes being awarded to people who wouldn't have stood a chance years ago!
Oh snap! Which word is it?
"Wind Blows". What's yours?
WOW!! That's amazing! I'm so happy for you. Freakin' awesome. :D
You're being sarcastic, aren't you lol?
John Harwood Man, I don't have one, but I really wish I did. That's a relic you got there, my friend.
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!"
One of my favorite quotes.
Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters
That song lyric inspired a group of violent 60's anarchists to call themselves the "Weather Underground" that carried out a series of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots in the 60's and 70's.
@@landontesar3070 good advice, really
@@troidva and then the weather news channel
I'm not an English speaker what does that line mean?
"Lookout kid! It's something you did. God knows when but you're doin' it again" is a timeless observation.
Yeah...phones tapped anyway
Still the best video of all time. This was part of Pennebaker’s Dylan movie, Don’t Look Back, Bob’s timing is perfect, the 1st rap video 🎵🎶
No matter how drunk I was in college, I could sing every word of this and not miss a beat.
hihi....cool 🎶

Same I bet we could duet today.
@@yamapenny5960 Uh uh...don' t believe it.
Can you still do it?
After watching this video approximately 5,789 times I am for the first time realizing the magnitude of Dylan's role in modern music. Look at that face. He is little more than a teenager and he didn't just write and perform this song and this video (with Allen Ginsberg as a backdrop, no less) which alone could make a person famous . Plus or minus a year from Subterranian Homesick Blues he wrote some of the most innovative and paradigm changing music in the modern era and continued writing and performing great music for decades. It is dumbfounding.
Yeah ginsberg, what am amazing child rapist he was. Pfft
I thought I was seeing things, all these years since the 60s and I only just noticed Allen Ginsberg behind him, I think it's because I always focus on the cards and if Bob is keeping up lol!
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws Not just Ginsberg, Donovan too.
The best song writer ever walked the earth, and I live 5 mins sway where the beatles where bright up x😊😊
Bob Dylan is the epitome of cool.
R Vega Cool Pair Clerks?!!
R Vega well 60s cool for sure
Bob Dillon... birth name Robert Zimmerman... changed it because he was ashamed of being Hebrew... no, I don't think he is cool in any way. I have never been a fan of his at all. And before someone starts throwing stones at me for being anti-Semitic, I am not. I just do not believe in changing your name for the reason he did. I recognize the huge influence he had, but I do not have to be a fan of his to do so.
@@ericlarson6390 you don't like him cause he changed his name? who cares.
@@ericlarson6390 tons of famous musicians have changed their names.
This is one of the coolest music videos ever.
Arguably the first ever music video too.
Did you see Allen Ginsberg in the back too?
Guess you’ve never seen Mike Posner I took a pill in Ibiza Acoustic
@@JH14FAN no it's not
@@thatswhatsgood24 that goes to the big bopper 1959 right before he died.
That, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." has always been my favourite line. Clever, lyrically.
Mine as well.....Great line.
I'm a fan of "watch the plainclothes". Solid advice.
Vintage Dylan!! I am a product of the '60s and a huge Dylan fan.
i dont get why thats clever
It's clever on a couple of points. Remember, the time frame this song was written was late 1960's. A militant, left wing radical organization known as the Weather Underground , also know as Weathermen formed on the U Michigan Ann Arbor campus, as a faction of Students for Democratic Society or SDS. So Dylan is saying that you don't need a radical, like a Weatherman to tell you what is going on (which way the wind blows). He is also saying that you don't need a tv weather person to tell you which way the wind is blowing. Revolution was in the air, (the way the wind blows), Viet Nam protests, the Weather underground actually declared war against the United states government, with a bombing campaign against government buildings. Heady Times. Breaking Timothy Leary out of prison. "For the times they are a changing".
Almost 5 years since the legend I called dad passed. I have 3 brothers weird how dad taught us different life lessons almost as he built 4 kids that when we lean on each other we make one unstoppable unit. Thanks pops . Rest easy. 602 😢

This must be Rachel Dolan
Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doing it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
A man in the coonskin cap, in the pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D.A. Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows
Oh, get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Hang bail, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters
Oh, get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't want to be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles
The singing style and lyrics were inspired by Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business.
@@oppothumbs1 I didn't know that. Chuck Berry's influence is everywhere. Beatles too.
Wow.
The Maggie comes fleet-foot verse is just top notch Dylan wordplay.
gotta love at 1:20 when he realizes he's ridiculously behind and starts flying through the cards.
A dude in the band INXS had the exact same trouble with his cards in a video called "Mediate" which basically paid homage to this video
I do
@@skingerskanger Mike Posner did it too
He looks so desperate!
I’m willing to bet this isn’t take #1 and he had a few paper cuts on his palms from trying to keep up.
Would explain the “fuck this” expression 😆
This largely credited for being the world’s first music video and what a great music video too.
..and maybe the first rap song?????
@@joeydupre6153 not the first one but the word play is a masterpiece
@odeerg It is definitely not the first recording of someone playing music. But this isn’t a recording of someone playing music. It is an artistic film piece that goes with the music. That is why some people claim it is the first real music video.
I think you mean oldest lyric video?
@@briansammond7801 It's definitely not the first, and I wouldn't even say it's the first 'modern' (aka MTV style) video. I'd say the birth of the modern type music video goes to the Monkees. They, their TV show, and Mike's solo career are what started the MTV style video. Although there were earlier, this was a new type entirely, a new breed. In fact, Mike made a show, sold it to Warner, who made it a TV channel. That show-turned-channel was MTV itself.
"The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles" is still one of my favourite, all-time rock 'n' roll lines.
Sprongo what does it mean
It's inspired... hopefully it wasn't the drugs that inspired it, though...
@@ethanhammond7615 Why does it have to mean anything else than what it says? Can't it just be a playful use of words and images?
@@ethanhammond7615
Someone took the plungers off the syringes. A vandal :-)
@smilebackifyourugly
No, it definitely is
The pumps don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles.
The entire song is about heroin, and the people who are involved in that world.
The best music video ever and it was done before music videos as we know them existed.
This is the best cover of that Weird Al song that I’ve ever seen!
Wait! This was a cover? No way! I don't believe that for a second!
Yet another song where I prefer Wierd Al's version...
@@sean5990 Good, cuz it isn't true.
@@ferociousgumby According to Junior Duckbill Vance, this is actually an old traditional folk song from the Haitian community in Springfield, typically performed whenever they gather in underground shelters and eat hot dogs from the Kwik-E-Mart while reminiscing about their island homeland.

So timely now. He grew up in rural Minnesota so I can see how this song and video came to be with a visit to NYC. The vandals' took the handle. Love the spelling and art on some of the cards.
Rest in Peace, D.A Pennebaker. If you only had shot this three minute video, your legacy would be secure. The Father of the Modern Music Video!!
Apparently, you have never heard about soundies. You don't know what you don't know.
I love Pixar for putting this song in SOUL. Hope it brings more recognition to this kind of music!!
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
One of the coolest rock n roll songs of all time.
By probably the coolest rocker that ever lived
Rap.Rock
This is rap tho
I always thouht that having Allen Ginsberg in the background was poetic justice.
No it's not, its garage rock
Super cool!! Love that song makes me happy!!
Thats Allen Ginsburg the Beat poet in the background
"Ginsberg"
It looks like him but who really knows if it's actually him or not.
It's well-documented that it's Ginsberg in the background, with road manager Bob Neuwirth. Ginsberg also joined Dylan on the Rolling Thunder Revue ten years later.
@AllSeeingEye ofGod Yes, Ginsberg is apparently playing the role of "the rabbi".
@@Peppokakko Looks like a staff.
wow bob dylan can rap
Invented it here.
FloydPink23 Cash didn't do the rapid internal rhymes that sound like rap the way Bob does here.
What about "I've been everywhere"?
Well it has strong influence from Chuck Berry, The Weavers and the Beat scene
A Johnny Cash favorite is "I've Been Everywhere!"
It's hard to over-praise Dylan. He invented so much of what became taken as the stock in trade of popular culture. Here, with D A Pennebaker, he invents the music video. Of course, the song itself is a marvel of beat poetry, dense with allusion to mid-60s political dissent, and with more "hook" than Peter Pan's pirate. Despite its historical setting, Subterranean Homesick Blues is utterly timeless. And brilliant. 2 Minutes 20 seconds of breathless magic that demands to be played over and over again.
I heard that when John Lennon fist heard this song he remarked "That's it then. I'll never write a better song than THAT."
And he never did. Not even close.
Wrong - Why Don't We Do It On the Road and Revolution 9. Ez
Sorry--but no.
Daniel Gunter Obviously you haven't listening to Revolution 9 then.
Dancette record player in my bedroom in the 60s! It was a new world.
I did a poetry project on this song so i memorized it completely and preformed it for my class
and i didnt trip up on any of the words either im so proud of myself for it.
gamey grumpy dayum son
Now try "It's the End of the World as we Know it".
This is a real favorite of mine...It has so much going on throughout...
Put your skills to the test. Learn Desolation Row.
It's an easy song to memorize.
This video must be the coolest one I’ve ever seen. This song is a rap in the early time.
It’s been 57 years I released this classic 😊 visiting your comment just made me feel so good. Thanks for the love and support. Wouldn’t have been such a great ride without you xx 😘
I love that the sign says "sucksess"
That plus the 'I-don't-give-a-s---' look on his face, that's proper rock'n roll.
I like "Man Whole".
Actually, his sign says "SucKcess". If you are gonna quote it, do it right. Just sayin!
Cannot believe that I watched this on b n w TV when it was current,and didn't realise what I was witnessing tho it did make an impact.it has taken me over 55 years to actually fall in love with him!now as you younger folk look back at his work and of course forward (please God forward),I also do from my vantage point.
How many years on and this STILL looks way ahead of its time!!
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows!"
Well ain't that the truth.
I had the absolute biggest, stupidest smile on my face when I heard this classic in Pixar’s SOUL. So cool to hear Dylan’s music in a Disney film!
Hell yea. -just watched it with my daughter - told her that this song is history!!
Right??? That was amazing!!
Nothing better than a soul voiced by Graham Norton spending his days sailing around in a ship listening to Bob Dylan
yeeah
A lot of stuff in the lyrics happen in the movie, too.

Bro dropped bars before people knew
what “dropping bars” meant
He's so adorable in this video! Especially when he slightly messes up when he goes too fast so he holds the card up to the camera.
Users and cheaters were also mixed up
Emily, He didn't mess up, he does that stuff on purpose. It's the mark of an
artistic genius to allow discordancy's. Even without the music and the poetry, the
message is 100% accurate, timely and vital as it was back then, at the height of
the hippy revolution. 'Must bust in early May, orders from the DA.' (Our prisons
still bursting.) 'They go out and round up anyone that knows more than they do!'
(Idiot cops would bust their grandma as long as they get their paycheck, to this
day.)
Or he designed that. Good videos are art too. Even more when they match the music.
Emily at 1.21 after messing up the card says fail at just the right time. Wonder if that was part of it
That amount of paper sheets is very heavy to hold at that angle for three minutes
An important message to all amateur musicians who post on RUclips: You've just seen an early video by one of the geniuses of the 20th and 21st century. 1,100 people dislike this! Never get frustrated or disappointed as you build your careers - someone will always be there to put you down.
great advice, and i would add. don't try to write a hit. write for yourself and the right ones will feel the passion of it and like it too.

I was a Bob Dylan fan since i was 14. You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Need i say more? Dylan influenced everyone who came after him. Beatles.. Rolling Stones… Clapton…. The list goes on and on. I hope you live long Bob.
Bob is a real one, still, to this day. I remember a few years ago, I saw an interview with him on a major network, can't remember which one. Maybe CNN or something. Anyway the interviewer quoted one of his greats and asked him how he wrote those lyrics and Bob kept his perspective, as always, and basically said "I don't know. I couldn't do it now. It just happened"
I'm paraphrasing, but it was a great reply. Anyone who's ever written a decent song knows what he's talking about.
@@zefft.f4010 Un cronista de su lugar y su tiempo
No sé si hay otro que lo haga tan bien
This is actually a crazy song when you interpret each lyric thoroughly. What makes this song more amazing was that before 1965, Dylan protested using Folk music. At this time he was protesting using Rock music. A complete change in sound without losing the “protest” attitude. Incredible.
That's simply because it's the same chords just with newer tech
Amazing boss
bro literally goes off on this song
@@marcoevans2155 It’s not that simple.
An icon in the counter culture movement. A true punk at heart
Johnny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine are the greatest first lyrics of a song ever. Dylan is perfection.
Birth of Punk.
When Dylan sings, it’s like he is singing to each of us individually. Sometimes his lyrics were made just for me.
I'm on the pavement thinking about the government.
Dylan is so great that these arent even the best first lyrics on this album
True. Except, of course, for all the other great opening lines of his ...
I love these:
Señor, señor, do you know where we’re headin’?

+Alienboy Yeah, well that could be, so why don't you sort of just quit using such foul language. I'll bet you can STILL make your point without resorting to filthy vulgarity...............right???
Richard Wahl Oh so you're going to suggest that you're 'higher' than me because I use curse words? Okay thanks bye.
+Alienboy Uhhh, yes, something closely akin to that. I do give you credit though, at least you seem to realize that you're really pretty much uneducated, either that, or you're just some snot nosed still wet behind the ears kid, who hasn't grown up yet and is trying to 'impress' people with how well you can curse! However, you fail to realize that with all that low class language, you just show how immature you actually are. So................grow up, kid!!
+Alienboy Oh and another thing..............YES, I am a whole lot higher than you. I don't need to go to such low class remarks to make my point........isn't that right, Jethro!!

he looks like he's having a little bit of trouble keeping up with the cards I love him😂💗
maybe there's blow in the wind, Gillian, just consider that
In case I become a meme it might idiot wind
I think it was deliberate, a bit of Chaplinesque physical comedy as in Modern Times, where Chaplin was sucked into the gears of a machine.
At 0:33, the card said "20 dollar bills", but Dylan said "11 dollar bills". Happy 77th, Bob!
"Dylan’s cards align perfectly with his lyrics, but as he continues, he lags behind the beat and flashes intentional errors (the card for the line “11 dollar bills” reads “20,” others are scrawled “pawking metaws” and “sucksess”)"
Dylan’s ability to improvise lyrics and have a different set for different performances is phenomenal to me
Quite a few lines are incorrect on the cards, hence the comedy of it
Dylan is a tremendous singer, songwriter but the fact is, dude never learned how to read.

win. Dylan has more brain cells in his hanky than you have in your entire brain.
"you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
Such an underrated line. I love it.
I don't know if the line is underrated -- it stood out to a rather famous group of radicals in the 60's who called themselves "The Weathermen."
@@sandraleehurst9610 A lot of people nowadays use words when they don't know their meaning. It's sad :(
i dont get it
Bing Sinatra wtf why are you on my lawn please leave
@@sandraleehurst9610 - That's why Lennon kind of slurred or stretched the word in his song "Rain' - "....the weather's Fiiiiiiiine."
My dad was born in 1950, he passed away when I was 16, back in 2018.
He was a HUGE bob Dylan fan. He and I used to listen to his albums in the car. There was this one song that I loved as a kid, made my dad play on repeat, but I never knew the name!
This is the song!
I've been searching for years and I finally found it! Thank you RUclips, I am eternally grateful ❤
I had a good family friend born in '49 who turned me onto Dylan when I was a 16 year old in '88. He was playing his greatest hits tape with this song and others really captivating me. I took most of the money I made doing drywall with him to buy Bob's entire catalog. As I get older and have to say goodbye to people I loved, I find an everlasting connection by continuing to enjoy the things we once shared together. Sorry about your pops.
Glad you found it ❤
You could also watch the whole thing because this 'video' is the opening sequence to the DA Pennabaker 'biopic' film Don't Look Back filmed when Dylan toured Britain in 1965. Another lesser-known Dylan track which is spine-tingling is Let Me Die In My Footsteps from 1963 which was omitted from the Freewheelin' album although personally I think it's superior to some of the other tracks on that album.
The opening track to "Bringing It All Back Home," although as far as songs on that album go, my two favorites are Outlaw Blues and It's All Right, Ma.
Did you have the lyrics memorized, too? That's not easy to do.
The original rapper.
this is proof that rap is indeed a subgenre of rock
Further back than that even
Kurtis Blow taught him how to rap
As a hip hop/ rap head I could not agree with you more.
@@yaknowmysteelo404 as a hiphop head this is grossly inaccurate. Dylan is a lot of things, a rapper is not one of them. Just cuz it's got rhythm doesn't mean its rap. This has influence from the real originators, black blues/jazz musicians
What a genius..best Dylan song ever
Bob Dylan is the epitome of cool ❤❤
bob was so handsome
Gaby H You mean "is"
Agreed
YESSSSS HE IS SO HOY
****HOTT
He was always the cutest thing! Hot af
The man was/is a lyrical genius
David Austin I want to be like him
Our 🇺🇸 resident (when not touring) Poet Laureate, along with many other great American poets, J.F.K. had Robert Frost as his ...❤️
@@rainystone607 You stole that from the Counting Crows, didn't ya ? 😁🤣
I got to see him preform in October, shortly after he was awarded the Nobel Prize.Didn't understand a word he said, but that man still has style.
haha cool way to mix Nobel prize right next to 'didn't understand a word' (and still makes a lot of sense your idea, i'm not judging you, i'm just stoned right now. Lucius, what a name, dude! -again, not kidding-)
@@incaseibecomeameme7206 jojo
im 11 and i love this song, this proves anyone can like bob dylans song :))
The guy in the background is beat generation writer Allen Ginsberg. Ginsberg and Kerouac used to refer to their gang of underground ho-bo hipsters as "subterraneans", hence the name of the song.
Idiots
The deadpan look on Dylan's face is so funny. Goes really good with the lyrics of the song.
This is an amazing work of art that will be studied earnestly on other worlds.
he actually looks nervous.
countesslorinz CharLayChatPlain
agreed, countesslorinz.
he was wise for his age....
indeed. i don't understand how people pulled this in their early 20's back in the 60's. makes me feel really shitty for being a talentless hack.
nope. hipster. case solved.
Not wise, but smart. He was keenly observant.
As David Bowie sang in his tribute song to Bob Dylan, saying he had the mind of a supercomputer or was it superbrain? I forgot the line..
Still one of the coolest music videos and it's 2024. It also helps that it is set to one of the coolest songs ever.
April 14 2024 - I hadn't seen this in, literally, decades - was it the first music video I ever saw? I think so
Omg lol
A phenomenal track, then and now.
So loose, and so tight. Classic Dylan.
Still a banger, holy sht.
That's my exact word for it - a banger!
congrats bob on your nobel win.....!
I've watched this many times over the years but I still get anxious every time I watch it thinking he's going to miss his cue or drop all of the cards. Also I don't own one of the cards.
Oh, the prophet. Look at those lyrics, apply on wounds today, press hard.
Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
I remember feeling old when I realized I was older than Bob is in this clip. Now my kids are older than Bob is in this clip. It comes at you fast, my friends.
I was 13 in 1965 when this record was realeased,my sister bought the 45 rpm record of this song, I heard her play it on the record player, then I started playing the record real loud, and was told, take that record player down to the basement if you are going to play that music so loud,so I would play it all the time in the basement real loud,I realized Dylan was where it was at! I've been a Dylan fan ever since.
Tldr
He raps better, than most rappers nowadays 😁
Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" is still my favorite rap of all time. HA!
This a talking blues song, not rap.
@@damon_aaron rhyming over a beat is rap is it not lol
Happy Birthday Bob, may you stay forever young!!!
I'm noticing new details, like the fact that he keeps a blank expression the whole time is so funny, and the way the cards don't exactly match up is amusing. Iconic music video
Indeed, and, Allan Ginsberg and that other bloke on the background like some streetcorner dealers with their baseball bats.
Reminds me of Buster Keaton.
@@jarnokorhonen3840 bob neuwirth's the other
Joan Baez drew many of the signs, being quite a talented artist. She needed something to do, obviously.
1. He invented the rap blues or rap rock
2. He invented Official Lyric
3. He invented Music videos
the third one is false, the buggles with their song 'video killed the radio star' were the ones to invent music videos.
@@Randomyoutuber-4831 You're joking, aren't you? This video is from 1965, music video didn't exist.Dylan anticipated everything...
What's Official Lyric?
Number 1, he didn't invent 'Talkin' Blues' but probably did it better than anyone else.
@@Randomyoutuber-4831 "video killed the radio star" came out 20 years after this.
1:44 - S U C K C E S S LOL !
Absolute genius. Funny, sassy, incredible music, Chaplin-esque persona, message. What's not to worship??
Chaplin-esque?
is that you Hart Crane I thought you was dead?
One of the world's first rap songs!
Is that Alan Ginsberg in the background? Sure looks like him.
No, its Carlo Marx
yep its Alan
I was thinking the same thing and wanted to see if someone else asked before me, lol.
I think it is Allen...
its Carlo Marx
