Bob Dylan’s 1965 single “Positively 4th Street” is a masterclass in musical scorn. Over an organ-tinged melody, Dylan coolly skewers a false friend with lines like “You’ve got a lot of nerve…” (widely believed to target critics who turned on him when he went electric). Released on its own, it still hit the Top 10. Smooth in sound but sharp in word, it remains the gold standard for song-length put-downs.
