John was just messing around, he wasnt being serious about the song. if he were i bet he'd do much better than it sounds here.

Ringo's drumming!

Am I the only one who thinks this version sounds better than Dylan's ? :-o

If the Beatles couldn't mock the American music scene, they wouldn't have done anything, period. What do you do when you're faced with a megalith? A juggernaut? Just cow down and do nothing? It was part admiration and part: let's do something better! Music feeds on music. Bach is said to have done nothing but variations of prior music. He adored Vivaldi. Who Vivaldi bowed to, I don't know. Now some whoo-whoo guy says McCartney is Vivaldi reincarnated. Doubt it. Music has it's own mind.

Must Yoko be in the picture? I mean, really! You're breaking up the band, Yoko.

0:48 John sounded like Paul Winchell from the Wacky Races & Stop the Pigeon cartoons.

one word, "WOW"

[firsttennessee]

I never knew this existed. This is TOO COOL!

[RobbyWestwood]

Why argue everyone? This is soo very childish of everyone who has a dumb message about whos better when its obviously!... Dylan is the better of the two , friends or not! BTW: as said before in here (suck it)

[MarionetteWithGun]

it's apparent he was rather stoned during this recording

[MrNocaster1]

Yoko Ono is a Triple Bagger!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure John didn't do this in a mean spirited way. The Beatles were constantly messing around with other iconic material when they rehearsed. I distinctly remember Paul doing a funny rendition of "Besame Mucho" at one time and plenty of other examples like this during the filming of "Let It Be". More than likely, it was probably John subtly suggesting to the rest of the band that they should take a break from the session and go outside and light up a "reefer" (as George would call it).
