This Wheel's on Fire

Brooke gave me The Band: A Musical History for christmas. And there's this song "This Wheel's on Fire" and I know I had heard it a lot before by someone else. I never knew it was first performed by Dylan and the Band. I must have heard it by them before as I have listened to The Basement Tapes in the past.

Finally I guessed that it was from the show Absolutely Fabulous after hearing it my head enough. I confirmed the fact at the alt.comedy.british FAQ:

The theme tune is entitled "This Wheel's on Fire", and is sung by Julie Driscoll & Adrian Edmondson. "This Wheel's on Fire" is written by Bob Dylan and Rick Danko, and is available on Dylan's "The Basement Tapes" and The Band's "Music from Big Pink".

I have to admit to have mixed feelings about the song - I like it, but then I don't at times as well. But I would love to hear some modern-day indie band do a cover. I think it could be fun.
