"Bob" is a song and video by "Weird Al" Yankovic, from his 2003 album Poodle Hat, made up entirely of palindromes. The palindromes are arranged in rhyming verses such as the following: Madam, I'm Adam Too hot to hoot Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog UFO Tofu No lemons no melon Too bad I hid a boot Lisa Bonet ate no basil Warsaw was raw Was it a car or a cat I saw? Pa's a sap Ma is as selfless as I am May a moody baby doom a yam?
"Bob" is performed in a style resembling Bob Dylan's vocal delivery. The song's video is a parody of Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" segment of the film Dont Look Back. The music resembles many of Dylan's twelve bar blues songs (particularly Bob Dylan's "115th Dream"): each verse includes ten bars of singing followed by two instrumental bars, with no chorus.
