Every now and then I run across an old song that sounds strangely familiar, and then it hits me...oh, THAT'S where Dylan cribbed that melody from! Sometimes it's the whole shebang - the tune, the subject matter, and some of the words (The Patriot Game ->With God On Our Side).. Other times, he just started riffing on the first line and went off in a completely different direction (Lord Randall -> A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall). Usually the source material is trad, so there's no copyright issues. However, I've always thought "4th Time Around" sounded suspiciously like a pastiche of the Beatle's "Norwegian Wood."

So, since I was fiddling around with my iTunes collection, I thought I'd create a playlist that alternated between Dylan songs and the songs he stole from. I KNOW there are more than the 3 I just listed. Can anybody think of any other pairs?
