#245200 - 03/24/14 02:45 PM [User Showcase] Bob Dylan Parody
Registered: 05/28/08 Posts: 366 jphillips Journeyman Registered: 05/28/08 Posts: 366	I thought I would be fun to write and shoot a Bob Dylan parody, so the result is this tune: Bob Dylan Parody - Something They'd Never Seen You can see the original video here Original Dylan video Lyrics: Something They'd Never Seen -- © 2014 John C. Phillips Marmalade monkey near the widow shade Ballerina with a hand grenade Riding the sky on a silver bus But they could not know what they'd chosen 'Cause their thoughts were decomposing Like old talk in a gum machine But they would walk toward something they'd never seen The King and Queen and a couple of jesters Wearing cotton capes and polyesters Judged the crowd with their afterthoughts But exactly what were they thinking Mussolini or more like Lincoln An old flintlock and a new prom queen But they would walk toward something they'd never seen But if you wear glasses sight is delayed And you cannot tell you been betrayed By the puppet master in the TV box Argyle socks Someone change the locks The rusty wrench keeps on bleeding It's a garden but it sure ain't Eden Rosemary's got no thyme at the wishing well 'Cause wishes they are always frowning Try to swim but nearly drowning Dog paddle rock so serene But they still walk toward something they'd never seen But if you wear glasses sight is delayed And you cannot tell you been betrayed By the TV anchor in the cable box Celery stalks Living in Fort Knox Soulful sister can't be like them She'll live at 33 RPM 'Cause vinyl makes her feel that certain way All the notes that she been hearing Resonate and reappearing In blue Woodstock and the in between But they still walk toward something they never seen Tracks are: Me on vocal and harmonica Midi Bass Midi B3 RealTracks in song: 795:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernCountrySync Ev 100 (A:strum) RealTracks in song: 1831:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightA-B Ev16 075 RealDrums in Song: Nashville2Beat^08-a:Snare , b:Snare, Ride Recording and Mixing in Sonar Mastered in Sound Forge I hope you enjoy it.

I still don't understand what the hell Dylan is trying to say. Well sung and well produced.

The style was dead on to Dylan. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

I've been a major league Dylan fan since I first heard him in the early sixties. I spent a lot of time back then trying to posit meaning on some of his lyrics.....so look out....I may be able to interpret yours. I gotta forward this to some friends. Very cool. _________________________ J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

Registered: 05/28/08 Posts: 366 jphillips Journeyman Registered: 05/28/08 Posts: 366	SpaceDog: I'm glad you liked it. Thanks Guenter: Thanks for listening. I always enjoy your very inventive tunes. Bob: Glad you enjoyed the tune. I think your songs sometimes have a nice Dylan-like quality. Joanne: Someday we'll figure out the lyrics. The whole project, from writing to shooting was fun. Glad you enjoyed it. Herb: I was hoping to get close to his '65 style. Good to hear you think it matched pretty well. Thanks for listening. Bud: I was first introduced to Dylan in '62 - when I was 10 - and my mother bought his first album. She bought all of them through '66 and I picked up after that. Thanks for listening. Sonny Ray: I enjoyed making it. Glad you liked it. John

I seriously suggest you submit it to Seattle DJ Bob Rivers or Joe Bryant. Bob produces parody compilations called "Twisted Tunes" and Don Jr's CCR parodies are on every album. I can give Bob's email address, if you're interested. Perhaps Joe would be the better bet. PM me if you want Bob and/or Jo's personal emails. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, 'tis said! _________________________ Donny SoundClick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1209254&content=music SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/donald-gaynor BIAB 2021 w/current updates.

If, as Charles Caleb Colton says, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", then Bob Dylan should be highly flattered. Great stuff!
