May 8, 1965: The promotional video for Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was filmed at the side of the Savoy Hotel in London.
The original "Subterranean Homesick Blues" clip was the opening segment of D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back, a documentary on Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of England. In the movie, Dylan holds up cue cards for the camera with selected words and phrases from the lyrics. The cue cards were written by Donovan, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Neuwirth, and Dylan himself. While staring at the camera, he flipped the cards as the song played.

"I Know What Boys Like" was written by Chris Butler while a band member called Tin Huey.

Donahue was essentially acting when she performed for The Waitresses, and Chris Butler's lyrics were her scripts.
