First Drafts of Rock takes a look at the original version of Peter, Paul and Mary’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” (featuring Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick and Jimmy Fallon).
Lyrics below:
How many roads must a man walk down before they call him a man?
How many rows must a minivan have before it’s a regular van?
How much sand must a beach have before you say, “Hey, that’s way too much sand”?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
How blurry must a gorilla photo be to be confused with Bigfoot?
How could you clap without hurting yourself if you were Captain Hook?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
What is your favorite U2 album?
My favorite is “Joshua Tree.”
What’s your second favorite U2 album?
I think mine is “Achtung Baby.”
What is your third favorite U2 album?
Hey Peter, please stop asking me.
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
If Train A leaves the station at 10 a.m., and an hour later so does Train B…
Train A’s traveling at sixty miles per hour, Train B’s travelin’ at eighty…
Then what is the time at which Train A is passed…
…By Traaaaaain B?
The answer, my friend, is 2 o’clock p.m.
The answer is 2 o’clock p.m.
