"Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" was a 1965 single by American rock artist Bob Dylan. It reached #58 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and #17 on the UK chart in January 1966. It was recorded with The Hawks (later to become The Band) during the same session where One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) was recorded. These two songs were the only two fully realized during these sessions, and Dylan went on to record the rest of what would become "Blonde on Blonde" in Nashville with various other musicians.
Dylan played the song to Phil Ochs as the two were riding in a limousine. When Ochs expressed a lukewarm feeling about the piece, Dylan kicked him out of the limousine, yelling "You're not a folk singer. You're a journalist."[1]
This song was included in the list of songs in Nick Hornby's book 31 Songs, that was published in the U.S. as "Songbook."
[edit] Covers
The Jimi Hendrix Experience later covered the song for BBC Radio. This version was later released on the BBC Sessions album.
The Hold Steady covered the song for the soundtrack to the Dylan quasi-biopic I'm Not There.
Transvision Vamp covered the song on their second album, "Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble."
This song is notable for the fact that it has never been played live by Dylan.
