uber-UBER BOS7 "Let it ALL hang out"!  like Dylan meets Roger Miller.

Indeed, the Hombres have attributed the song's origins to hearing Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues," deciding he was putting kids on and cobbling together their own semisensical stream of consciousness in response.

BTW, there are other JA songs I deeply dislike.  "How Do You Feel," "Spare Chaynge" and "Wild Turkey" are chief among them.

seriously, I'm curious why you dislike "Best Friend", given its general sunshine-poppiness (and Mamas-and-Papiness).

The lyrics seem to have taken 7 minutes to write, and that's with editing.

As for "Spare Chaynge" - long instrumentals put me to sleep if I can't dance to them.  (See also: "Oh Well.")

Instant M3S:

Stones - Dandelion
George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Chuck Berry - School Days

No one bit, but all three contain 'three o'clock' in the lyrics.  I thought using "Rock Around the Clock" would've given it away.

Well, I guess I'm just reacting as a bass player.  Jack Casady does some of the most amazing shit on Spare Chanynge.  I realize it's not fit for public consumption in 2009.

This begs the question about whether or not you're aware of a certain Norman Greenbaum single
