In addition to the song’s influence on music, the song was used in what became one of the first “modern” music videos. Although Rolling Stone lists it as the 7th on its list of “100 Top Music Videos”,[10] the original “video” was actually the opening segment of D. A. Pennebaker’s film, Dont Look Back, a documentary on Bob Dylan’s first tour of England in 1965.
Bob Dylan – “Subterranean Homesick Blues” (1965)
Ahora repasemos:
Johnnys in the basement, Mixing up the medicine, Im on the pavement, Thinking about the government, The man in the trench coat, Badge out, laid off, Says hes got a bad cough, Wants to get it paid off, Look out kid, Its somethin you did, God knows when, But youre doin it again, You better duck down the alley way, Lookin for a new friend, The man in the coon-skin cap, In the big 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 phones tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say, They must bust in early may, Orders from the d. a., Look out kid. Dont matter what you did, Walk on your tip toes, Dont try no doz, Better stay away from those, That carry around a fire hose, Keep a clean nose, Watch the plain clothes, You dont need a weather man, To know which way the wind blows.
Get sick, get well, Hang around a ink well, Ring bell, 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, Youre gonna get hit, But losers, cheaters, Six-time users, Hang around the theaters, Girl by the whirlpool, Lookin for a new fool, Dont follow leaders, Watch the parkin meters.
Ah 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, Dont steal, dont 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, Dont wear sandals, Try to avoid the scandals, Dont wanna be a bum, You better chew gum, The pump dont work, cause the vandals took the handles.
Y por último sustituyan la letra de Dylan por sus palabras en los carteles del video, aquí.
O no. Por si no, aquí está el nuevo video de Dylan, que más que de él es de Mark Ronson, después de la polémica sobre ser éste el primero en la historia en recibir los derechos de una canción para mezclarla. No quedó nada nada mal.
