Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that, though a fair bit of his stuff has been covered by other artists and been successful for them.

I've tried a number of times to fully understand the Bob Dylan phenomenon, but its hard to understand what he is saying, without then trying to "get" him.

I hope someone slips in this version. That would be funny!

Probably only The Trashmen can claim something of greater genius with... 'Surfin' Bird':
"B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the word"
Made famous lately on Family Guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WNrx2jq184
Seth MacFarlane sings the song in character http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtPgkUmdlDY
Crazy "performance" from Trashmen frontman to freak out audience in 1963 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fruHQhNe-UM

Love all those songs. But especially the Men at Work one - not a band I'd admit to listening to (any more) but Overkill is a beauty. I interviewed Colin Hay years ago for 3D (sorry to namedrop) but he played Overkill on acoustic guitar, just me and him in the room, and I think I felt a little man love.
