What you should know about this song: The title isn’t the only thing that’s intriguing about this song, which made its appearance as the first track on the 1965’s Bringing it All Back Home album, but the rock ‘n’ roll rhythms and electric guitar also seemed to produce a bit of a shock factor for Dylan’s more conservative followers.* Dylan was innovated when it came to his music, which is why I wasn’t too surprised to come across a song that sounded so different from his previous material.
“It’s from Chuck Berry, a bit of ‘Too Much Monkey Business’, and some of the scat songs of the 1940s.” – Bob Dylan, 2004*
