I don't know how I missed this but Weird Al Yankovic did an excellent parody of Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues a few years back. Now, parodying Dylan is not particularly hard, whether it's his atonal singing style or his abstract lyrics. But what sets Weird Al's song apart is he did a video in the same style of Subteranean Homeskick Blues with the handwritten cue cards (yes, I know it's been done before) and all of the lyrics are palindromes. It took a few lines before I noticed that, but it adds quite a comedic effect. Take a look at the video at YouTube.
