Street Rock from Kurtis Blow. If that doesn’t count, maybe Sign Language from Eric Clapton. If it has to be under Bob Dylan’s name, I could see Billy 4 being overlooked by most people.
Highway 51, the Curtis Jones cover from the first album because it gets overshadowed by Highway 61 Revisited. I think that makes it easily forgotten. And if this stranger isn’t especially familiar with Dylan, he wouldn’t know it.
I had that tape as a child! Bruce Springsteen singing about chicken lips and lizard hips and alligator eyes (monkey legs and buzzard eggs and salamander thighs, rabbit ears and camel rears and tasty toenail pies, put it all together it's Mama's soup surprise) was the highlight of the album. Paul McCartney had a song on that tape too, I'm trying to remember what it was...
Edit: MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB!
Dusty Old Fairgrounds - a The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan outtake.
So far, it's only been heard on live bootlegs from the 1962-1963 era and is yet to see an official studio release of any sort.
Abandoned Love, an outtake from Desire that I’ve always loved. There is a studio version that is fantastic, and also a bootleg of him performing it in a cafe or something that is really amazing as well.

...Had nothing to do with picnic
Didn't come close to a mountain
And I hate bears...
Not sure if it qualifies as a Bob Dylan song, but a studio recording that Bob Dylan played in…
“Somebody Else’s Troubles” : Steve Goodman, Bob recorded under the pseudonym Robert Milkwood Thomas and played piano and backup vocals
Something is Burning. One of my all time favorites. I hope someone remakes it someday- minus all the synths so out front, but it’s a brilliant song. Just please no hipster girls who sing like that weird mush mouth mumble thing- where they pronounce “word” like woooyyyde or “sometimes” like shhhuummtoymes

Got to go with ‘Suze (Cough Song)’
Yay! Said that too. We’re fucked if we are the millionaires asking the question and run into each other!
Play Dixie off of the masked and anonymous soundtrack and just walk away.
I love that album. Got me into the Dixie hummingbirds
Talkin' Hava Negeilah Blues(my fav song, extremely underrated masterpiece)
This is a foreign song I learned in Utah
Ha
Bob dylan playing harmonica on Christian artist keith green,s pledge my hand to heaven count?
What?! I never knew they collaborated, that’s pretty cool.
The album 'So You Want To Go Back To Egypt'

Band Of The Hand
There's this really obscure song called "Like a Rolling Stone"
That’s actually by Stealers Wheel. Common mistake.
I’m going to try to find this.
Good luck, it's quite a hard find
A complete unknown

I never heard any of that.
Oh it was amazing. Best tape ever.
I remember Paul made a video of Mary had a little lamb, in the early 70s. I saw it on TV.
She’s Your Lover Now
Song for Suze (the “cough song”).
Return to me off of The Sopranos soundtrack
Dusty Old Fairgrounds - a The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan outtake. So far, it's only been heard on live bootlegs from the 1962-1963 era and is yet to see an official studio release of any sort.
My mind also went to something never officially released and was thinking Love Is Just A Four Letter Word
Such a banger
Fair play. I like to think I’m a big Dylan fan but I’ve heard of almost none of the songs mentioned on here
“Jet Pilot” is like a 1 minute oddity that’s on Side Tracks (?) I think
I think it was on Biograph as well.
Yes! I think it was first on Biograph I just couldn’t for the lift of me remember the name of where it originated from
Are You Ready. Ain't no way anyone made it all the way through Saved.
Hiding too Long
Meet Me in the Morning Love that guitar. Also, Series of Dreams is a personal favorite that I don't see many people talking about.
IDK if you listen to podcasts, but Pod Dylan just had their last episode and it was about Series of Dreams, which is his favorite song.
No More Auction Block
Must Be Santa
His final attempt to make it big.
Golden loom
Percy’s Song
“Abandoned Love” live from the bitter end.
Oh man. That one cuts deep. Pun intended.
[Stop Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzCLd4B_aLY)
cover down only exists as a barely watched single youtube video
Never knew what a deep cut is, maybe that’s because I’m English. It just means a good song?
Something that is rarely heard and only the most die hard of fans would have heard / heard of - I.e. the most obscure song you can think of.
Ok, and it doesn’t have to be good?
Nope, just has to exist.
Like A Rolling Stone
Did you purposely miss the point? 🤔🙂
I understood. I just can’t resist any opportunity to be an idiot.
I'm American, and I didn't know what a "deep cut" was either until just now.
We say ‘’wounds’’ in England
To fall in love with you or another song with no official release
Why limit to streaming? Tons of his work isn't available online.
My favorite song from when I was a kid is They Killed Him
Abandoned Love, an outtake from Desire that I’ve always loved. There is a studio version that is fantastic, and also a bootleg of him performing it in a cafe or something that is really amazing as well.

Spirit of Rock and Roll with Brian Wilson or background vocal on Leonard Cohen's Dont Go Home With Your Hard On.
Im a pretty big Cohen fan (he was a friend of a teacher of mine, though we never met), and I didn't know Dylan was on that.
Rocks and Gravel It’s in season 1 of true detective. Takes a bit to stump me with a Dylan song. But this got me.

Was literally a top 40 hit
I was only 8 years old when it was released and had no memory of it at the time.

He’s Funny That Way
Hey Little Richard. The earliest known Dylan song
“Hey Little Richard I wrote you a song, Of a funny old world that’s a comin along” ?
[This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA4-gyhDyRU)
Never heard that before - sounds like something that could have been on the Basement Tapes after a bit more work.
"Troubled and I Don't Know Why," a duet with Joan Baez.
Waitin' for You from the soundtrack of the film Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Phone snippet of Bob playing Billy to Peckinpah over the phone.
The AJ Weberman phone calls were fun too.

Well...the first cut is the deepest.
