Track Description Available in: "Bob" is a song by "Weird Al" Yankovic from the 2003 album Poodle Hat. The song is a parody sung in the style of Bob Dylan, and each line of the lyrics is a palindrome, as is the title. For example, the song's first line is "I, man, am regal—a German am I".
The song did not chart at the time of its release, but later became the subject of critical and scholarly examination. Music critic Nathan Rabin argues that the song's lyrics "sound cryptic enough to be genuine Dylanesque, but are in fact palindromes delivered in an uncanny re-creation of Dylan's nasal whine." Randall Auxier and Douglas R. Anderson described Yankovic as having "bested" Dylan with the song, in a hypothetical competition.
