- whiteknives, on 07/23/2008, -2/+50Wow - I never realized that song was in palindromes until today.
- Garlik, on 07/23/2008, -5/+39It's great to see Weird Al on the front page of Digg and I don't usually don't complain about something being old but this song and video are from 2003
- rockwithme000, on 07/23/2008, -0/+30Old.
But still relevant to my interests. - Nairebis, on 07/23/2008, -5/+31That's good (and old, but hey), but best ever was Amish Paradise:

Mike3285: wtf is a palindrome
MaroonSand: no its not dude - Diggnabbit, on 07/24/2008, -0/+20wtf ftw!
- ShadowMarth, on 07/23/2008, -0/+18Just out of curiosity, what the hell did you think it was about before you learned this?
- diggenerate, on 07/23/2008, -0/+18Only W.A.Y.'s version was done in palindromes, not the original by Bob Dylan. Just for clarification.
- mcsenget, on 07/23/2008, -3/+18gotta love Weird Al
- elmotoothbrush, on 07/23/2008, -3/+17Just like many of Bob Dylan's best songs -- it doesn't always make much sense.
- SlapAyoda, on 07/23/2008, -5/+19In case anyone missed it, all of the phrases are palindromes.
The video is a parody of Bob Dylan's Subterrean Homesick Blues:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srgi2DkDbPU - Ebue1, on 07/23/2008, -1/+15"What the hell is this song about?
"I have no idea"
"You guys are idiots, this song is very deep" - thechosen, on 07/23/2008, -0/+11***** really? Man, I wish the title and description of this submission was as detailed as your comment.
Sarcasm aside, thanks for the original link.
NOW DIGG ME SIDEWAYS - Westrunner, on 07/23/2008, -1/+11That's fricking brilliant.
- lynx44, on 07/23/2008, -2/+12If you play it backwards does it sound the same?
- fullgl, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11Worth a digg simply because palindromes are amazing
- fuzzmeister, on 07/24/2008, -0/+9*whoosh*
- SirBruce, on 07/23/2008, -1/+9Missing two of my favorite palindromes:
A man, a plan, a canal - panama.
Ten animals I slam in a net. - junkstore, on 07/23/2008, -3/+10Subterranean Homesick Blues is such a great record.
- Kalakov, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7How is it that Weird Al lookings younger today then 20 years ago in the 80's ?
- Thrash16, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Good ol' Weird Al, I just saw him in DC, and judging by the crowd I'm SURE some of the pleope there use digg...go on, show yourselves...
- hollywoodphony, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7Is that harmonica solo a palindrome too? And was that David Cross?
- BoboTheHobo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6Dammit, I'm mad
- Mpwns, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6i still like http://youtube.com/watch?v=-xEzGIuY7kw more.
- sugarazor, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6It's one of his style parodies. Not a specific song, but a parody of the overall sound of an artist. His most famous of these is "Dare To Be Stupid" which parodies Devo. Mark Mothersbaugh of Devo said the song sounds more like Devo than Devo.
- wernst, on 07/24/2008, -0/+6As Homer Simpson says, "When you're tired of Weird Al, you're tired of life."
- thechosen, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Rise to vote sir,
Do geese see god?
Do nine men interpret? Nine men I nod!
Classic. - exomni, on 07/24/2008, -3/+8I seriously don't know a single Bob Dylan song that can't be made sense of with a bit of intelligence. And elmotoothbrush has yet to name a single one, much less "many" of Bob Dylan's over 500-song catalogue, and yet I'm being dugg down. One of you could at least bother to write which song of Bob Dylan's you think doesn't make sense as you digg me down.
- harlowsmonkeys, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5My favorite palindrome (when spoken...not that awesome in print):
A man, a plan, a palindrome...emordnilapanalpanama!
(Credit to Bill Banks, legendary mathematician, drummer, and juggler, for that. Well, legendary for one of those three. Annoying for another, and I don't know about the third...) - goonnoodles, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4"And you didn't pay for drugs.... NOT ONCE"
- sugarazor, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3That's odd, I just saw Al in concert the other night... but yeah, this is five years old.
- Cenobite, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3Weird Al's real name is Benjamin Button.
- williamlee, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3The youtube quotes are depressing. I mean, I'm not even old and I can recognize the parody...
- schaver, on 07/23/2008, -3/+6I don't get why people get dugg down when they point out that something on the front page is old. This really has been out for years. Don't get me wrong I'm the biggest Al fan around but in Internet years this thing is reaching ancient.
- Lochie, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3I also like:
Able was I, ere I saw Elba - completerobot, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3I wish the title and description were as spelled properly as his comment.
Or I would've said that if he hadn't misspelled Subterranean. - fakeid781, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2just in case anyone wanted to hear another version of a classic the red hot chili peppers did it once... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3QYNsxYzhs
- Jozer99, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Personal hygiene does wonders. You should try it sometime.
Below is an image of weird al he did for some magazine. Google if you don't believe me.
http://amysrobot.com/files/weirdal.JPG - gamben0, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3Dugg for Jewish David Cross
- thisissami, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2man i feel so immature and shameful for digging you up... :(
at least there are 5 others who like me have found your comment to be full of hilarity!!! :D - ashwinashwin, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2remake of the video maybe, but the song isnt like the original at all - probably didnt want to pay bob any royalties...
- wrathchilde, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2The song is NOT Subteranean Homesick Blues.
It is Tombstone Blues. Highway 61 Revisited. - Sererena, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2I'm gonna see this guy in concert in 2 weeks! It's been over 10 years since I saw him in concert. I love Weird Al!
- shondell, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2"...NOT ONCE"
I just realized that "once" looks like a very strange word. I mean just look at it right now. Concentrate on that word and it starts to lose its meaning and become just a group of letters. - zombies187, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Why idiots? Anyway:
I, man, am regal a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Ah Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi", I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda
Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies -- run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog
Unless I'm way off every line is a palindrome. - spammishking, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2So did you wake up this morning and decided to apply this comment to every digg story, or is every digg story relevant to this comment?
- Dested, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4***** me is right, cause down you go troll.
- PabloIV, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2i totally missed this one. Which album is it in?
- bryonsmothers, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Man this is old as dirty!
