okay, I only just recently saw Reservoir Dogs, but having seen it I am going to always think of it when I hear this song particularly because of the Steven Wright intro.

I once wondered if this was Dylan trying to actually sing, but then I heard "Nashville Skyline" and knew what that actually sounded like.

I remember this from my youth way before QT used it. Reservoir Dogs was just a movie. The song was used as a period ref obviously so it needn't be associated with the gruesome scene from a classic Tarantino flick.

Maybe it was just my time of the month and the mood's stayed with me ever since. The real clincher, though, was the song's use in Tarantino's appalling Reservoir Dogs, which has indelibly associated it with bloody torture. 1's too good for it  C'mon Fred. Off the rag and on the dance floor! razor and all! :-) |

About 10 years ago, Hanes used this song for advertising their underwear... the ad showed a variety of ladies thongs hanging on a clothesline  I will forever correlate this song with that ad |

It's the 70's and I've got Chicago's WLS AM on my little radio.

This song has just enough cowbell. It's the Goldilocks of cowbell. You might even say its Stuck in the Middle in terms of its cowbell usage.
What? I'm sick of reading about that movie. It's been out for a while. Gotta move those comments
down

I still see the two steps forward, once step back dance... |

Stealers Wheel - Stuck in the Middle with You Southern Culture on the Skids - The Wet Spot Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman The Cat Empire - Fishies Incredible set! This energetic music is going to induce me to get off my ass and send out some job applications—or rather, get ON my ass.  |

Thought it was a lame song the first time I heard, and my opinion hasn't changed with time.

GR was very talented. I'd assumed, for the longest time, that "City to City" is a greatest hits compilation; each track a gem. I was surprised to learn, years after initial exposure, it's not. Too bad about his sad demise and now his passing. |
