“Flakes”, a song on Frank Zappa’s Sheik Yerbouti album,
contains a Dylan parody, with guitarist Adrian Belew
doing the Dylan “voice”.

I was looking out on YouTube to see if there was
some video for Bob Dylan’s impersonation in one of
Frank Zappa’s songs when I found a bunch of stuff
both from Frank Zappa, Dweezil Zappa (son) and
Moon Unit Zappa (daughter) that is the perfect
example that you can have heavy and mental in the
same setting… Some of the videos is stuff that I
hadnt seen in 20 years…
