I don't know where I might find the commercial online, but it features a piano playing the lick played by the brass band in the Dylan tune. Same blues progression, same rhythm as the original, just more...baby commercial-esque.

1. They really should have gone with

"Everybody Must Get Changed."

But seriously, I hate commercials ripping off good music because they're so tacky and because they make me feel old, tainting the music of my youth. Back in the Seventies there was a laxative commercial, yes, a laxative commercial, using James Brown's "I Feel Good." Sickos.

7. They'll change you when you're riding in your pram

They'll change you when you're hearing "Sam I Am"
They'll change you when you've lost your tiny socks,
They'll change you when you play with building blocks

Well, I would not feel too outraged,
Everybody must get changed.

15. More of these came to me in the shower ... I really should get a life.
They'll change you when you're playin' peek-a-boo
They'll change you when you've got a little poo

They'll change you when you start to cry
They'll change you even if your diaper's dry

Well I would not feel so deranged
Everybody must get changed

4. that ain't right...


Is it because all the late 20 and 30 somethings having kids are into Dylan? You'd think it would be someone else considering all the original Dylan fans have older kids or are grandparents... ;)

9. Clean cloth diapers are good for Blowing In the Wind.

Pampers will be molding in the landfill. This topic can start a flamewar, though.

13. How about the Rap version of Forever young?
Like when Puff Daddy covered Kashmir. That was the day I stopped believing in a kind and merciful God. On the other hand, it was a brisk change of pace to see an African American steal music from Page for a change.

14. Look out Kid
Better stay away from those who carry around a rectal thermometer.
I just realized how hard it is to rhyme Subterranean Homesick Blues.
