Link to Song: Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream
What you should know about this song: Dylan had a number of people accompanying him on this humorous song featured on the Bringing It All Back Home album, including Bill Lee, John Hammond Jr., Bobby Gregg, and guitarist Bruce Langhorne. The song even includes a false start that similarly reflects an Elvis Presley single.* It’s a silly song, really, and many critics have attributed Dylan’s humor as the inspiration to other artists like The Beatles (source).
“We didn’t know where to cut the groove. So he went, “I was ridin’ on the Mayflower…”, and we all should have come in on ‘ridin’, but everyone sat there.” – Bruce Langhorne*
