  • is that allen ginsbourg in the background?

  • dis will nvr get old xxx

  • bella bella bella...

  • Genius.

  • The original rap song...

  • I remember being a 15 year old kid watching the Need You Tonight / Mediate video from INXS on MTV in 1987 and my father walking by in his suit (he was a lawyer), looking, stopping, and then pointing a finger at the screen while muttering "They stole that idea from Bob Dylan." I was like, "Whaaaat???" and he started in with "Johnny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine...." I thought he was nuts at the time but in retrospect, it was a great introduction to this song.

  • Great video by the master poet. Thanks for sharing this!! Mark

  • Comment removed

  • success is spelled wrong in that video lmao... then again, when Dylan spells it Sucksess... it oughta be changed in the dictionary

  • Weatherunderground Amerikkka

    You dont need to be a weatherman to know witch way the wind blows....

  • kinda like rap. good rap that is.

  • this is not rap is way better

  • Chili peppers do a rap like cover of this

  • The man behind Dylan... is Allen Ginsberg may be?

  • Yes... and the man that Ginsberg is standing with is Bob Neuwirth.

  • look up juelz santana mixing up the medicine feat. yelawolf

  • long live zimmerman

  • was originally a clip from "don´t look back" by documentalist d.a. pennebaker

  • What?! It's a clever, great song.

  • how is it 'fucked up', may i ask? honestly, i think it's genius, as is bob himself.

  • wasn´t talking about bob, i love him too man, i meant this upload has low quality and shit at the end...

  • good

  • Who is Ginsberg talking to in the background? Just wondering.

  • It's Bob Neuwirth

  • precurser of music video..... rap... highly influential.... Pete Seager pulled the plug at New Port..... classic in every way...

  • little c? very original ...fuck.

  • Hey Guys! We still gotta do a 2010 version of this. Maybe as we're getting ready to be barred.

    Do this-

    Do that-

    Don't do that-

    etc.

  • If you haven't heard the cover by Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks, give it a listen. It's great!

  • SOOO GOOOD!!!! this blows my mind in 2009, i couldnt imagine when this first came out

  • did he ever play this live??? on youtube yet???

  • i found one live version on here. no video though. and it's not as good if i remember correctly.

  • is that ginsberg in the back?

  • Yep.

  • Indeed it is.

  • no body commentsed for ever

  • great song!!!!

  • i know you`ve made your comment one year ago but it`s still hot!!

  • Just look at the video "Nur ein Wort" from "Wir sind Helden" :)

  • Now THAT one's a brilliant version of it! :D

  • yeah he is amazing. but then he did a starbucks add... why would he do that? made me think he is a sellout

  • It's useless trying to comprehend everything that goes on in that guy's head.

    If you could understand it, I'd be watching a PirateMoose video right now complaining about him selling out.

  • There's a difference between making a living and being a sellout. I'm a die-hard Socialist, yet I'm trying to get a job at several different corporations. You have to get by somehow.

  • You contradicted yourself; if you were a "die-hard Socialist" you would "die" before you sold out your convictions. If "Socialism" was so great, you'd be "getting by" with it. But obviously, it isn't adequate for you.

  • Wow, you're so amazing, thinking that you're owning me over something I wrote here more than two years ago.

  • Bob Dylan = legend!
