@BlakkGallagher Really? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOOK IT UP. BOB DYLAN DIDN'T WRITE OR PERFORM THIS CRAP. SOMEONE COVERED IT IN HIS STYLE. FRIDAY WAS WRITTEN LAST YEAR BY Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson for Rebecca Black! What's the worst is that you would blindly pursue a meaning to meaningless crap. This shows more than a small lack of depth and egoism among some Dylan fans. Get used to the idea that you're deep and you forget that you aren't.
Oh God why are so many people trying to defend this as if it was a brilliant work. That just shows what blind tools you are. This isn't a real Bob Dylan song. This wasn't some work of genius. He didn't write "Friday", and sure as hell didn't perform it. Friday was written in 2011 by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson for Rebecca Black. It means nothing about communism. The fact that if it's by Bob Dylan you immediately think it's a deep work of genius is more than a little disconcerting.
@Lavatramp@AndyP2623 No. This was a fake. This isn't really Bob Dylan. Funny how you can make such a passionate defense for nothing. Rebbeca Black's Friday (the song you're hearing) was written by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson.
@lavatramp I dont agree with one of your points here, Instead of support for Marxism, I think Dylan begs for political overhaul and adjustment of foreign policy towards more isolationism and less hawkish intervention. His brilliant emphasis of "everybody's looking forward to the weekend" lets us realize that we should worry about our own problems and constantly better ourselves in order to enhance the quality of each following day. it's a genius mix of micro-macrocosm in the lyrics.
Actually don't care if it's Mike Bauer, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed or Steve Henley the bottom line is, it's a really good listen. 'Deep', maybe but don't think so, that's part of the fun. Well done to who ever produced it
according to A.J. Weberman, Phil Ochs was due to go in and record a version of this in much the same way that Rebecca Black does just before he passed way. too bad as he pro'bly would have had a monster top 40 hit w/ it. In fact there's a rumoured bootlegged session of him performing it w/ The Holy Modal Rounders which is where Black may have heard it.
he's just out of mike range but in that famous scene in "Don't Look Back" of Lennon and Dylan in the back seat of the limo, you can catch Lennon mouthing the words to the 'kickin' it verse and the 2 of them cracking up over it.....Al Aronowitz told me 1 late night at Deanie's that the somber mood here was a result of Dylan just coming off the road and several days of being up on speed and just trying to focus in the studio, hence the 2nd verse where he's seemingly searching for the words.
This is certainly not Bob Dylan. I am old and I have been listening to him most of my life. It's a pretty good imitation but that's all. Also, the lyric's couldn't be more un-Bob!
@bigmackdaddy101 I suppose you are right, it´s just that so many people really seem to believe that this actually IS Bob! Or...maybe they are just goofing around...?
I know its hard to listen to music by regular, ordinary people, but I really need you guys help to get my name out there. Even though no one will probably read or like this, I believe at least one person will see it. It would mean a lot if you can check my channel.

I don’t know who the fuck Rebecca Black is, still less Bob Dylan. I cut him loose these long years past, preferring instead the many alternative musicians/composers, including, for a very good example, the less than perfect but hugely talented Franky Zappa. As a musician, satirist and iconoclast, he had many redeeming features, not the least of which was his view that music – rock, jazz, or otherwise – was a craft. A diametrically opposite view to the one manifested by Dylan –more’s the pity.
The dead giveaway, the acid test (which it fails), that this aint Bob the Knob, is the guy's guitar is reasonably in tune. Never a feature of BtK's playing.
This is the first demo Dylan recorded when he made his much criticized move from folk to electric rock. It gave him the courage to reinvent himself for the very first time.
@coooolzz Im mystified... what is the mechanism that makes all of you kiddie wankers looking for gay porn on the interwebs end up here saying this timeless classic isnt Bob Dylan's?
I think its clear when Dylan asks which seat should he take? He is referring to the US diplomatic position in the early 60s when the song came out. 'Kickin' in the front seat' refers to fighting communism while "Sittin" refers to standing by peacefully and letting it run its course. Pure genius. It Could also be referring to Rose Parks situation on the bus where she did not give up her seat. This song really summed up the times and is one of Dylan's most thought provoking songs.
Reminds me of when I was still only in Saigon...shit. Every time, I thought I was going to wake up back in the jungle..
I'd been there a week, waiting for a Mission. Getting softer. Every minute I stayed in that hotel room I got weaker. Every minute Charlie squatted in the bush, he got stronger. Each time I looked around, the walls moved in a little tighter...
Everyone gets everything he wants.
I wanted a Mission - and, for my sins, they gave me one.
@dean0waterz If you wanna do your sorry-ass comedy here, kid, you gotta try harder. Cut-and-paste from the Apocalypse Now screenplay isnt good enough. If you get your finger out of your ass, perhaps youll do better...
I am still struggling with how I feel about this. Part of me is sad, another part is happy, and still another part of me is angry with the government. I guess that is Bob Dylan for ya.
This is such a powerful song. I remember when i did a roadtrip to school that lasted 20 minutes on a friday. The angst that i felt when i was faced with the confusion that i had when there were too many seats is represented in this song. The revelation i had when Bob Dylan showed me how saturday was after friday, and how sunday came afterwards. Lost times forever engraved in my memories. Oh how we looked forward to the weekend. Bob Dylan always had a way to capture emotions into song.
Well, I don't know who this is, but they're actually really talented and this is the only version of the song I can get through. You should make a music video like the Subterranean Homesick Blues one with the cards! (By the way, does anyone else think its sad that this is the top search result for Bob Dylan?)
This song was written as a support for the marxism movement of the 1960s. Dylans emphasis of "Friday Fun" is a critique of the modern lifestyles which still plague us to this day. We sell our souls through the week before reaching Friday when we can ultimately "get down". Our notion of freedom and choice of what we do with our time is false. Ultimately it is only the little decisions such as "which seat do i take" which keep us under this illusion.
wow, even "dylan's" ironic sarcastic delivery cannot bring meaning to this meaningless song. it just highlights how stupid the lyrics are. "dylan" should do MORE covers of dumb mainstream pop songs ;)
@spankthemonkee112 it doesn't matter if bob dylan made a song called Friday this video is not it that's not even his voice. I'm a stalker when it comes to dylan hence my youtube name
@dylanlover83 If you were a true Dylan fan you'd have heard of this song! It's one of my favourites! Stop pretending that Rebecca Black could have written such an amazing piece of art!
You guy's are so stupid to believe this is bob dylan that's not even his voice and he would never write crap like this you people don't know the first thing about dylan, morons, your all morons but props to whoever made this vid you really pulled one over on a lot of dumb people
"Friday" came to me when I was in the peace corps. I was posted to South West Sudan. Many of the locals had never even seen white folks before, and ravaged by centuries of war and oppression they weren't open to strangers. I remember this one evening, I got lucky and tuned into Italian radio. Bob's soul and spirit touched every one nearby. The tribe and I linked arms and swayed together to the song. My job was a whole lot easier after that, God bless you Bob.
My Dad was a big Dylan fan. After he came back from 'nam, I can remember him just sitting by our record player and listening to this song with a haunted look in his eyes. After a few weeks of this he woke up. He was our dad again. I will never forget this song and what it did for him. When he died, I went through all of his old stuff and found this record. I have it hanging on my wall to always remind me of what it did for my father. Thank you Bob Dylan, because of you I got my dad back.
THanks for posting- this is a fitting tribute to Bob Dylan and reminds me of all the good music he gave us in his life. Kinda crying right now. I'm just a 13 year old kid and all my friends like Bieber and Rebecca Black. So thanks for posting is wat I say
That awkward moment when you do a little research and find out that Bob Dylan didn't write OR perform Friday, but people are giving this parody waaaay too much credibility regardless because it has a supposed "big name" attached to it while verbally abusing the Rebecca Black version at the same time. So awks.
@dip1hell This is a parody produced by a dude named Mike Bauer. The comments you read about people who "were there" when the Freewheelin' himself wrote it? All fellow pranksters perpetuating the silly myth to fool starry-eyed youngsters. Bob Dylan is one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He aided the civil rights and anti-war movement in the 60's, not to mention the most influential music artist of our time. He did not produce...this. And no, I am not retarded. :)
@Harl3yH3arts Exactly, you're destroying the fun. Everybody that says that this music influenced them knows that it's a parody, it's made to see who really thinks Bob Dylan wrote it, it's a joke you know?
@jerry44325 Dylan wrote this song in1961, but it was too deep and controversial to release at the time. He played it at select concerts, and grown men were reduced to tears. He didn't feel comfortable releasing it until last year.
I genuinely believe this song is about liberation from oppression. Kids the world over are being forced en-mass to attend government approved education camps where their freedom of choice is completely removed and they must learn and do what they are told.
Before leaving for Vietnam, I purchased in a Brooklyn record store this very track, that I intended to use as a gift to leave for my children if I didn't return. In Vietnam I carried it in one of the large trouser pockets of my jungle fatigues. The sturdy record withstood twelve months of war and jungle. Today, it's tucked away in a forgotten bedroom drawer. A large part of my life is based around this exact song. I sometimes sit down in my chair and play this track remembering those who fell.
It is a known fact that Bob Dylan actually wrote this song, as well as every song that has ever existed or ever will exist. The only exception would be Springsteen, but he doesn't really count, since he was created in a lab from Dylan's skin cells anyway.
"Mmmmmm...Partying." - That line just says it all; the ironic melancholy of the statement, the beauty of the phrasing in the face of such sorrow and fear. Dylan didn't make music, he made art.
The origin of this seminal song's meaning dates back to a short period in the May of '64, when Dylan himself supported the war for a short stint of time before he reverted to his anti-war sentiments, as discussed in the June '64 issue of the Melody Maker: "I was tryin' to get a feel goin' for wakin' up nice and early, eatin' some cereal and headin' to Vietnam with my friends." This was made evident in the lyrics, "I got this, you got this, my friend is by my right" and "fun, fun, fun, fun".
summer of '68. Me and my girlfriend at the time were in Chicago protesting the DNC, and the atmosphere was so chaotic.The yelling, the sex, the smoking,the sex, the yelling . If I recall half the women I yelled at were not her. But as I recall, though the atmosphere was near to the brink of destruction ol' Bobby wrote a simple Ballard on how life was before the man tried taking it away. Me and girlfriend never talked again, it wasn't till 1982 did I find out she was the world's1st aids victim
@thecheese780 Lakekepler was never actually alive... I mean, living in his moms basement in Podunktown North Carolina jerkig off all day to gay porn and eating only the minipizzas that she microwaved for him isnt life, is it?
I met Bob in a bar in 1969. He had his acoustic guitar, we had a sing song and at the end of the night, he played this song. I asked Bob why he wouldn't record this track. He said that some thing were too special to be ruined by commercialism. He told me he would release the song when the time was right. He always told me - Never forget that it' Friday.
I'll never forget that Friday November 22, 1963 when Kennedy was shot. Watching Kronkite cover it I remember how the whole country felt like they had lost a relative. Then all of a sudden the song started playing with the lyrics going down the TV screen. I dont think one song has ever cheered up a nation more than this. Sorry Katie, this friday > last friday night.
I don't care about beefing, trends, or what not. I care about music and music is LOVE. I LOVE MY CREATIONS....I really do and I'm so confident that I know you will love them too. I don't ask much but for you to believe in me as I do. Take an opportunity if you have time today and visit my page and listen to my new song from my EP and tell me if I have talent or not. It is an original production in which I created. Life is too short for me not to live my dream. Would you dare keep that from me?
Bob Dylan didn't write this song, Fanny Goldberg did back in the 30's. Dylan's version is better than the original, though.

3. Have a top comment state that said music legend was the real author all along.
4. Repeat 3 but state instead the reasons and meanings behind the song by said music legend.
5. ???
6. I don't know why you read through all this.

If you ignore the fact that Bob Dylan wrote this song 40 years before Rebecca Black covered it, then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

That awkward moment when you do a little research and find out that Bob Dylan didn't write OR perform Friday, but people are giving this parody waaaay too much credibility regardless because it has a supposed "big name" attached to it while verbally abusing the Rebecca Black version at the same time. So awks.

@dip1hell This is a parody produced by a dude named Mike Bauer. The comments you read about people who "were there" when the Freewheelin' himself wrote it? All fellow pranksters perpetuating the silly myth to fool starry-eyed youngsters. Bob Dylan is one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. He aided the civil rights and anti-war movement in the 60's, not to mention the most influential music artist of our time. He did not produce...this. And no, I am not retarded. :)

@Harl3yH3arts Exactly, you're destroying the fun. Everybody that says that this music influenced them knows that it's a parody, it's made to see who really thinks Bob Dylan wrote it, it's a joke you know?

@jerry44325 Dylan wrote this song in1961, but it was too deep and controversial to release at the time. He played it at select concerts, and grown men were reduced to tears. He didn't feel comfortable releasing it until last year.

I genuinely believe this song is about liberation from oppression. Kids the world over are being forced en-mass to attend government approved education camps where their freedom of choice is completely removed and they must learn and do what they are told.

Before leaving for Vietnam, I purchased in a Brooklyn record store this very track, that I intended to use as a gift to leave for my children if I didn't return. In Vietnam I carried it in one of the large trouser pockets of my jungle fatigues. The sturdy record withstood twelve months of war and jungle. Today, it's tucked away in a forgotten bedroom drawer. A large part of my life is based around this exact song. I sometimes sit down in my chair and play this track remembering those who fell.

It is a known fact that Bob Dylan actually wrote this song, as well as every song that has ever existed or ever will exist. The only exception would be Springsteen, but he doesn't really count, since he was created in a lab from Dylan's skin cells anyway.

"Mmmmmm...Partying." - That line just says it all; the ironic melancholy of the statement, the beauty of the phrasing in the face of such sorrow and fear. Dylan didn't make music, he made art.

The origin of this seminal song's meaning dates back to a short period in the May of '64, when Dylan himself supported the war for a short stint of time before he reverted to his anti-war sentiments, as discussed in the June '64 issue of the Melody Maker: "I was tryin' to get a feel goin' for wakin' up nice and early, eatin' some cereal and headin' to Vietnam with my friends." This was made evident in the lyrics, "I got this, you got this, my friend is by my right" and "fun, fun, fun, fun".

summer of '68. Me and my girlfriend at the time were in Chicago protesting the DNC, and the atmosphere was so chaotic.The yelling, the sex, the smoking,the sex, the yelling . If I recall half the women I yelled at were not her. But as I recall, though the atmosphere was near to the brink of destruction ol' Bobby wrote a simple Ballard on how life was before the man tried taking it away. Me and girlfriend never talked again, it wasn't till 1982 did I find out she was the world's1st aids victim

This is easily one of Dylan's unsung classics. The melancholy, the dry tone of voice...
I weep that modern music cannot come close to matching such a magnitude of excellence.

I met Bob in a bar in 1969. He had his acoustic guitar, we had a sing song and at the end of the night, he played this song. I asked Bob why he wouldn't record this track. He said that some thing were too special to be ruined by commercialism. He told me he would release the song when the time was right. He always told me - Never forget that it' Friday.

I'll never forget that Friday November 22, 1963 when Kennedy was shot. Watching Kronkite cover it I remember how the whole country felt like they had lost a relative. Then all of a sudden the song started playing with the lyrics going down the TV screen. I dont think one song has ever cheered up a nation more than this. Sorry Katie, this friday > last friday night.

I don't care about beefing, trends, or what not. I care about music and music is LOVE. I LOVE MY CREATIONS....I really do and I'm so confident that I know you will love them too. I don't ask much but for you to believe in me as I do. Take an opportunity if you have time today and visit my page and listen to my new song from my EP and tell me if I have talent or not. It is an original production in which I created. Life is too short for me not to live my dream. Would you dare keep that from me?
