Content[edit]
One verse of the song describes "[putting] on a little Dylan". The verse then references songs on Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, quoting extensively from "Idiot Wind". The song then mentions "Tangled Up in Blue".[1] According to Rucker, Dylan’s management were aware of the lyrics and had no problem with them; however, when the song became a hit, they objected.[2] He told Rolling Stone that "it never got to the point where we were sued... When we first did that song we sent it to the publishing company and everything was fine. We played it for years and had a really big hit with it. Then they wanted some money, and they got it."[3] VH1 reported that Dylan received a large, out-of-court settlement in 1995. [4]
Also mentioned in the bridge of the song is a reference "I'm such a baby cause the Dolphins make me cry", alluding to Darius Rucker's favorite football team and their championship drought.
Music video[edit]
The music video, similar to the song, had a sports theme, incorporating many elements from ESPN SportsCenter. The video featured appearances by (then-current) SportsCenter anchors Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, Mike Tirico, Charley Steiner and Chris Berman, reporting on the band playing in games with several professional athletes, including Dan Marino, Fred Couples, Alonzo Mourning, Muggsy Bogues, Alex English, Walt Williams, and Charles Smith.[5][6] Rucker said the video was his idea, adding, "It was just a way to meet all our idols."[7]
Cover versions[edit]
Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song as a bonus track for their 2007 video game Alvin and the Chipmunks. This version also appears on the 2011 video game Alvin and the Chipumunks: Chipwrecked.
