That means you just gave artistic credence to Wiggle Wiggle off Under the Red Sky Let's savour this literary gem from a Nobel Laureate, shall we: Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a gypsy queen Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle all dressed in green Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle 'til the moon is blue Wiggle 'til the moon sees you Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle in your boots and shoes Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, you got nothing to lose Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, like a swarm of bees Wiggle on your hands and knees Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear Wiggle 'til you wiggle right out of here Wiggle 'til it opens, wiggle 'til it shuts Wiggle 'til it bites, wiggle 'til it cuts Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead Wiggle, you can raise the dead Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher Wiggle 'til you vomit fire Wiggle 'til it whispers, wiggle 'til it hums Wiggle 'til it answers, wiggle 'til it comes Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like satin and silk Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a pail of milk Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, rattle and shake Wiggle like a big fat snake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,656 Posted March 27, 2020 Lengthy and mournful and 26 seconds longer than his previous longest track. You might usefully describe it as a grower. Not claiming to be a massive Dylan fan but... Sure as hell sounds like the style he's adopted fairly recently, i.e. the one that's emerged when he plays live after the last album of originals (Tempest 2012). He's curiously not saying when it was recorded but he has cut three covers albums since Tempest and if that reference to the age of the antichirst just beginning (around middle of the song) is a genuine dig at Trump then it could be this is an out-take from the sessions from either of his last two albums (Fallen Angels 2016 and Triplicate 2017). Either way, it's way more engaged and inspired than he sounds on the laziest moments of those two collections of covers. Ironically, he once unleashed a real gem - a song called Blind Willie McTell - on a compilation years after he'd recorded it and decided to leave it off the decidedly patchy album Infidels (1984), so he's got form where this kind of behaviour is concerned.

Aye, but You Want it Darker is in there with Bowie's Blackstar - the artist knowing he's on the way. "Leaving the Table" - for example - pretty much gives it away. Dylan still seems to be commenting on the world he's living in. Then again, most of the titles of the tracks on the new album aren't available yet. If the final track is called "Fleeced you all Now I'm Fucking off" I'd say the committee should take notice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
