Beck

"Leopard Skin Pill-box Hat" (Bob Dylan Cover) (Stream)

If you watched the Academy Awards last night, and didn't turn it off immediately after Slumdog Millionaire owned the ceremony, then you saw this three-minute clip of scenes from upcoming releases this year. You also heard this cover of Bob Dylan's "Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat" done by Beck. The cover removes the cool rambling sass of Dylan's original, but uh, if you ever wanted to hear what Beck sounds like covering Bob Dylan, here ya go. This cover appears on the War Child Heroes compilaton, which is out tomorrow in the U.S.

Am I the only Dylan fan who knows that this song is about the vagina? Everyone wants to cover a Dylan song, but not everyone does their research...

Dylan chose Beck to cover the track...

Hey Shannon-I would love to hear your rational for saying this Dylan's song is about the vagina? I am not saying you are wrong, in fact, right on, I dig your intepretation. I am all about artisitc license but that is stretching it big time (did you catch that reference :o)

It's a lot more likely that the lyrics don't mean anything. Blonde on Blonde was recorded and prepared completely in studio with Dylan writing a lot of the lyrics while he was out of his mind high right before he'd have to sing. So there.
