Well, yeah. Good choice to change the lyrics after they booted Mustaine though.

The intros are different, and the instrumentation differs, but the chorus and verse structure is 'pretty much musically identical' in these songs.

The opening riff only, but I just love pairing these two bands (and I'm a fan of The Osmonds album this comes from)

Randy Fuller (Bobby's brother, bassist, and legal heir) has said he recognizes that Dylan ripped Bobby off, but doesn't want to be The Guy Who Sued Bob Dylan.

Bobby Fuller Four "A New Shade Of Blue"


Bob Dylan "Soon After Midnight"

Let's see; there is an instrumental by It's a Beautiful Day (Bombay Calling, on their first LP) and later Deep Purple's Child in Time; also Jethro Tull's Singing All Day and an old 30's/40's hit Swingin' on Nothin' (my version's by Jo Stafford)...

Speaking of lawsuits...I feel this thread should include a mention of The Chiffons' He's So Fine and George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. ;)
