Mama bought a rooster, took it for a duck
Set it on the table with its feet stickin' up
Along came the children with a spoon and a glass
Went to stirrin' up the gravy from its yass, yass, yass

"Mama, mama, come look at sis
Out in the backyard and dancin' like this"
"Sister, sister, you come in here fast
And quit that shakin' of your yass, yass, yass"

She said, "Mama, all the young folks are doin' it these days,
and the old folks too
The young folks tellin' the old folks just what to do
First you shake your shoulder and you shake it real fast
And if you can't shake your shoulder shake your yass, yass, yass

Way up yonder on a mountain peak
A bullfrog dipped his tail in a hot pan of grease
He said, "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, would you kindly let me pass
I'm a-slippin' and a-slidin' on my yass, yass, yass

Way out in Texas, in Abilene
A tomcat sat on a sewin' machine
Well that sewin' machine, you know it sewed so fast
It sewed ninety-nine stitches in his yass, yass, yass

"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirrin', not even a mouse
Out by the chimney I thought I heard somethin' pass
It was Santa Claus skiddin' on his yass, yass, yass

I think it was Tony Sanchez's book that mentions that the line is a voodoo quote - although the blues link is apparent too

Trivia time - whats the connection between the "ya yas" cover and a Bob Dylan song? (and its not "LARS"!!)

"Vision of Jo-AnnWood" from the album Bob on Bands


Yeah Gazza.That's it,but I have never heard of Vision of Jo-AnnWood or the album Bob on Bands. Visions of Johanna from Blond on Blond. That's the one! I also don't recognize the line refering to Charlie Watts jumping. What is the story Nasty? Is there some Dylan spoof album that I am unaware of?

As Joey and the guy at the end of "Dirty" Harry Callahan's .44 magnum would,"I just gots to know"

TIA

From Dr. Filth's Fake Ass Record Guide (pub. 1987 in Indochiba):


"At the same time Dylan was recording Blonde on Blonde (note the "E's", please - Blond on Blond was actually a title of the album at one time, but it was sconched) he actually took the time to record many versions of the songs to reflect the increasing "in-jokery" of the rock and roll community at the time. Most of these are even more one take than the acutal BoB album (this entire title was a reference to Between the Buttons, a favor returned throughout the Stones' career). That did not stop Dylan from releasing a very very limited number of copies of this album on acetate to entertain members of the bands in question. Called "Bob on Bands", this acetate is so obscure that not even most bootleggers know about it. Clinton Heylin has actually denied its existence, and Greil Marcus might pretend to have heard it, but he really hasn't.
The Stones link runs high on songs like "Visions of JoannWood" (extraordinary in that Ron Wood was not in the band at the time, and not seeing anyone named Jo-Ann, but there you go, Bob's a visionary), "Rainy Day Mama #12 x 5 (Everybody Must Get Stones)", "Obviously 5 Believers", and "Just Like a Wyman".
"I Want You" is a completely different song - Dylan actually covers the Beatles' song off of Abbey Road before Lennon composed it! "4th Time Around" is a put down song of bands like the Dave Clark 5 and Herman's Hermits, who Dylan actually name checks - Dylan traces the lineage of their "rock and roll" from the Stones and Beatles to Elvis and Berry to Louis Jordan and Roy Brown and sneers at the loss of energy that has happened after four cycles of recycling. The most brutal song on the entire record is "Sooner or Later One of Us Must Go", a "this-town-ain't-big-enough-for-all-of-us" challenge to all major comers on the scene (Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Velvets, 13th Floor Elevators), that left all who heard it with no doubt of who was the true king of 1967. . . . [it goes on like this for a while and gets rather boring]. . . When Jagger chants the lyrics to "Pledging My Time" on Jamming with Edward it is an amusing acknowledgement of Bob on Bands.

Gazza I have always loved Visions as well. Right up there with It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding. Those are my two favorite Bob songs. Though it is hard to pick favorites with all his gems.
