Bob
In honor of Bob Dylan's recent 75th birthday, here's Weird Al Yankovic with "Bob". Sometimes Yankovic can miss the mark, relying on simple and obvious wordplay in his parodies, but this one is pitch perfect. The rhythm of the words and even the nonsensical phrases are so close to a twisted version of the Dylan original that it is just hilarious. If you haven't seen it before, here is the Dylan song and video (from 1965) that he's parodying.
