“I’m Not There” hits DVD shelves today and, in keeping with the film’s theme of the “many faces of Bob Dylan,” we offer you one of the more unexpected performances in the prodigious YouTube archive of Zimmy’s stagework: Dylan perfoming “Hava Nagila” with Harry Dean Stanton. Really. We’re not joking.
And is it just us, or does the Spokesman for a Generation look eerily like a brunet Harpo Marx in this clip?
Some “Hava Nagila” trivia: Julie Andrews, Twisted Sister, Anthrax, Dick Dale and Harry Belafonte are some of the unexpected folks who have recorded the song or pinched its melody.
