Bob Dylan’s “Motorpsycho Nightmare” appears on his 1964 album, Another Side of Bob Dylan. On his fourth album, Dylan began moving away from writing social and political folk songs, which prompted some to accuse the singer of selling out. “Motorpsycho Nightmare” mentions one film by name, La Dolce Vita, a 1960 comedy drama. But he also spoofs another from the era, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.
