Oh, Toofat! That Dylan song…cryptically titled “Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35”!
Shortly after “Forrest Gump” came out, I was in a restaurant with a bunch of friends. It had a jukebox, and that song was on it. As I walked by it, I had a wicked, evil idea. I also had enough change to set it up so that song would play 10 times in a row. The first few times, I managed to keep a straight face, as people began reacting. The 5th time it played, I started having trouble muffling my giggles, as everyone in the place said, “Oh, SHIT! Not AGAIN???”. By the end of the 6th time, my friends had paid the bill, and hustled me out in a fit of giggles. I can only imagine what had happened by the end of the 10th time…
I’m told that kids in the 1960s used to do the same thing with “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Ha” (which sounds a bit like that Dylan song) on jukeboxes. If you wanted to get your ass kicked, you’d play the A-side of it a couple of times in a row. If you wanted to get killed, you’d play the B-side (which was the whole song played backwards).
Funny how John Cleese neglected to include this extremely effective method in his “How to Annoy People” video…
