* DrunkenSong: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" : it has a kind of drunken vibe from the very beginning, but the final verse confirms it:
-->I started out on burgundy \\
But soon hit the harder stuff \\
Everybody said they'd stand behind me \\
When the game got rough \\
But the joke was on me \\
There was nobody even there to bluff \\
I'm going back to New York City \\
I do believe I've had enough.

* TheTeamWannabe: Al Kooper's organ riff on "Like A Rolling Stone" is one of the most recognisable in music history. Despite the fact that he didn't know how to play the organ and wasn't supposed to be on the record at all, but basically walked into the studio, sat down at the organ and started fooling about because nobody explicitly told him ''not'' to. Dylan liked it and [[ThrowItIn kept it]].
