    Never got into Dylan

    One song I heard he sounds like Mr Burns from the Simpsons

    Haha! :lol:

    That brought some entertainment to an otherwise boring night at work. Here on my own tonight.

    Jack Black sings like Dylan quite well check out I'm the only gay eskimo (the Oasis part of th3 song is unbelievably crap though).
    Every night is curry night!

    It was posted back in March in good time for April 1st.

    It is one of many spoof covers of a recently penned hit. Rebecca's Auto-Tuned original is languishing at No 66 in the US charts.

    Although even Spitting Image had some realistic Dylan renditions, this is the best and most convincing I have ever heard. Good guitar too.

    Dylan is now 70 and couldn't manage this now although he was in Vietnam a day or two ago.

    Dylan is a teriffic song writer but his voice sounds like someong clubbing a seal to death!! he should have always stuck to being a song writer only and give his songs to other people to perform.

    I feel the same way about Neil Young. Great songwriter, but I can't stand his whining voice.

    Everyone who hates Dylan's faux-hillbilly voice should listen to Nashville Skyline where he adopts a totally different voice. The album includes a duet with Johnny Cash.

    My favourite Dylan spoof is on National Lampoon's Radio Dinner album from 1972.

    This NSFW spoof of John Lennon is from the same album:

    All the lyrics are from things Lennon actually said in interviews. The video's quite fun too although it misses "Turn left at Iceland!"
