Available lists say that the vocal is Dylan, but to me it sounds nothing like him. I don't know any other songs from that era wherein Dylan sings in that register. It sounds more like Manuel to me. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-80555823913013581432012-04-05T17:55:06.170-07:002012-04-05T17:55:06.170-07:00Just a quick thought here: How many Dylan songs us...Just a quick thought here: How many Dylan songs use the "well" imagery?

He's waiting outside the Taj Mahal, a representation of love, and no one is around, so he is without a lover. Why not spend his time with a prostitute? As the song goes on, it is pretty clear that he is disgusted with himself and his behavior, whether it is for using Rose Marie for his own pleasure or for just being detestable in his lack of dignity. He knows Rose Marie doesn't even really care for him; she just "sits there and waits for [him] to come." She does what she is paid for and he knows it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448601238585270507.post-11686387105138859532009-04-01T16:37:00.000-07:002009-04-01T16:37:00.000-07:00This is definitely one of those cases where a cove...This is definitely one of those cases where a cover version opens your eyes and ears to a tune.

Though the movie itself was a mixed bag, mediocre at best, the use of "Goin' to Acapulco" was downright stunning. One of the best Dylan covers EVER.
