[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1326928, member: 26283"] Also rockabilly legend, Carl Perkins' [URL="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AYzKamaMgEY"]"Champaign, Illinois."[/URL] Curiously, both songs called "Champaign, Illinois" have Bob Dylan with co-writing credit even though they're completely different songs. The Old 97s wanted to use the tune from Dylan's "Desolation Row" and asked Dylan for permission, which he granted. Carl Perkins got his "Champaign, Illinois" as a partially written song from Dylan when they were on tour together. He later finished writing it and recorded it. [/QUOTE]
