Weird Al blows my mind - he can compose in any style, his lyrics are usually very good. I love that whole album - Poodle Hat. Bob is interesting because not only is every line in the song a palindrome, but Dylan nuts will notice how well he nails the video.

Also, if you like Bob, Bob, also check out Bowser and Blue's Polka Dot Undies, which is a perfect Dylan take and very clever:

Coming Back to Weird Al and Poodle Hat - this my favourite track: Hardware Store. Amazing vocal delivery and harmonies. If I could compose a piece of music like this, I could die happy. Fan video, but well done.

He also does a great job of aping Zappa in Genius in France (more of a tribute than a mickey-take - the album title is a Zappa reference too), down to some of the unique studio techniques Zappa used. Dweezil does guitar on the track too.

Nice post! Weird Al has been my guilty pleasure for a long time - a master in his genre!

+1 There are some visual elements of the original Bohemian Rhopsody video in Hardware store particular the cheesy muli images fading into the distance. and the 4 Images center one with arms crossed corpse style.
