Top 8 Bob Dylan Impressions/Parodies by Other Musicians/Celebrities

8. Joan Baez in "Mary Hamilton (Bob Dylan version)"



7. Paul Simon in "A Simple Desultory Philippic" by Simon and Garfunkel

[no embedding on this one, sorry]

6. Weird Al Yankovic in "Bob" by Weird Al Yankovic



5. Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie

[no embedding on this one either]

4. Ed Mann in "Flakes" by Frank Zappa



(At 1:19 in the video)
Note: the studio version of this one was done by Adrian Belew, an impression I would have ranked slightly higher than Mann's.  This one's great, too, though.

3. John C. Reilly in Walk Hard



2. John Lennon in an unreleased solo track



1. Mark Knopfler in his entire life

    Baez has another hilarious parody in a version of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," in which she sings all the questions ("Where have you been, my blue-eyed boy?") in her beautiful voice and all the answers in great nasally Dylan twang. Very funny.

    What? No Cate Blanchett? Her impersonation in I'm Not There was totally spot on.
