That Bob Dylan song does not appear at the Bob Dylan website, and I can't find it on Spotify, so is it real?
Searching the Bob Dylan website, I only get 6 songs with the word "rat," and 4 of them are in the phrase "rat race," most notably, as an adjectival phrase — "rat race choir" — in "It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)":
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he’s in
Ha ha. Bob's had me worried about "society’s pliers" since 1965.
The other 2 are:
1. "Froggie Went a Courtin’," with lots of references to a character called Uncle Rat, including "Without my uncle Rat's consent/I wouldn't marry the president, Uh-huh." Ha ha. So many reasons not to marry the President.
2. "Motorpsycho Nightmare" — "I was sleepin’ like a rat/When I heard something jerkin’/There stood Rita/Lookin’ just like Tony Perkins."

Hah! I never thought of my husband as being rat faced, but I see some striking similarities between him and the dude in the picture.
Hands off, ladies, he’s mine!
Not only is there a Bob Dylan song, there's Bob Dylan, hot rodent recording artist.
Looks like an English rocker right out of 1966: The Small Faces, The Who, The Troggs, etc... rat faced and weaselly too.
Celebrities recently have been chosen by corporations rather than by fans.
The disparity between fan ratings and corporate media ratings/reviews is just a microcosm.
I am not sure if women actually find this more attractive or not.
But we know the globalists and corporatists want thinner more weaselly men.
"Not only is there a Bob Dylan song, there's Bob Dylan, hot rodent recording artist."
Good point! The article notes Timothée Chalamet's rat-facedness and Chalamet is playing the role of Bob Dylan in the biopic that's in the works.
@Aztec
You left out Tiny Tim!

Wow. Here's a link to a 2007 reference to Jim Rome's Rat Family.
Jim Rome's Rat Family
There's a time for everything, I suppose. Oh, and why am I thinking of Steve Perry all of a sudden? I'm showing my age.
When I started thinking about songs with "rat-faced" in the lyrics, it was because a Paul Simon song was flapping up against the screen-door of my consciousness. When I finally go the door open, I realized I had the wrong animal and I was half-remembering the wonderful "roly-poly little bat-faced girl" in "You can call me Al":
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal....
"Oh, and why am I thinking of Steve Perry all of a sudden? I'm showing my age."
I'm thinking of Phil Spector. And Roman Polanski.
My best friend he shoots rat-faced boys and
feeds ‘em to his niece
"I'm thinking of Phil Spector. And Roman Polanski."
Rats with skills. These were not just display rats, though.
The Ratness can run deep, and often has nothing to do with visuals.
A mouse that hasn't been a prince can't be turned into a prince. The mouse will keep wanting to get out. He has the self-consciousness of a mouse.
Was harry dean stanton rat-faced or hang-dog?
Are bats rodents?
Emphatically no. Not even close.
They're more closely related to pangolins and whales.
“… touching… grooming… de-fleaing each othah…”
Patrick Swayze always struck me as having a murine face. His eyes are too close together.
Bradley Cooper should be on the list.
The Cream circa 1968:
"Pressed Rat and Warthog"
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet
Sadly, they left, telling no one goodbye
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack
Went straight round the corner and never came back
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet
The bad captain madman had ordered their fate
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his peg leg got woodworm and broke into three
Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet
I'm built like Charlie Brown. And in his immortal word: "Rats."
Dylan's "Untitled" is Poem 1 from the liner notes for Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964). Doubtful he ever sang it, but even if he did (say, in the shower), there's not even a hint of a recording.

P.S. Cate Blanchett, like Timothy Chalamet, also seems somewhat rat-faced.
@Lance - Tiny Tim was no rocker - lol. He was however an authority of the first order concerning popular music 1900-1920.
Dustin Hoffman: rat or mole?
"Hey, what am I - chopped liver?" - Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy
“And in the death
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy
thoroughfare
The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building
High on Poacher's Hill
And red, mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City
No more big wheels
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coverting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald
Any day now
The Year of the Diamond Dogs
This ain't Rock'n'Roll
This is Genocide”
—- a severely coked-up David Bowie, “Future Legend”
"When the rats are running"
Well...Zappa called this years ago.
Hot Rats.
"Dylan's "Untitled" is Poem 1 from the liner notes for Another Side of Bob Dylan (1964). Doubtful he ever sang it, but even if he did (say, in the shower), there's not even a hint of a recording."
Thanks. Didn't remember that, but I used to read those liner notes half a century ago. Still have the original album I held in my hands when I was 14.
There's Futurama, and the rat faced love interest, Frye, and his complete opposite, the soap opera actor robot, Calculon.
I guess Frye's opposite is really that commander whose name I can't recall, who makes up the third point of the triangle with Lela.
Hot rodent boyfriend summer?
Looks like muskrat love!
Ezra Miller from The Flash fits that description, too, but none of these women want to have that conversation.
P.S., if this is what women claim to want now (and who knows if they ever really want what they say they want at any given time) is it any wonder men are going their own way?
In twenty minutes when most men are shaving their chests and trying to look soulful and mousy in the attempt to get laid, women will do an about face and ask where all the real men are.
"With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl"
LOL, so that is the lyric! I always thought it was "black-faced girl".
Gotcha y'all beat rat-faced-wise.
I’m thinking if Paul Lynde and that guy on Suits…Rick Hoffman
Glen Powell fits rodent but not rat. Marmot?
Aerosmith, "Rats in the Cellar"
Women (those who make Tik-Tok videos anyway) already restrict themselves to the less-than-one-percent of the male population who stand more than six feet tall, pull down well over six figures a year, and have a more-than-six-inch, uh -- 'member.' And now this extreme demographic outlier has to have a profile like Mickey Mouse, too. That should work out well.
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Smashing Pumpkins, "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old Job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want to change
And what have you got, when you feel the same?
Even though I know - I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold - like old Job
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son, yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
Every time I read one of these “girls love a soy boy” thumbsuckers, I’m reminded of the tweet “Homegirl reverted back to factory settings in the presence of masculinity”

What about "Big Daddy" Roth and Rat Fink Hot Rods?

Zapp Brannigan, imTay.
Steve Carell, perhaps?
Josh O'Connor looks like the asocial dweeb that you knew. He's okay but don't let him get started talking about his mold, spore, and fungus collection.

In the movie Bull Durham the beauty, played by Susan Sarandon, falls for "Crash," played in real life by the less than overwhelming physical presence, Kevin Costner, but in real like, the beauty herself, Sarandon, fell for and married the studly Tim Robbins, you know, the guy the movie was telling us, didn't get the girl.
Althouse has said that she always disliked the movie The Accidental Tourist because, why would that interesting girl fall for the William Hurt character, and save him from his excruciating dullness? Well, Bull Durham is that movie on steroids.

What a rat faced pony soldier!

Same with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News.
When I see him I'm always reminded of that pun based on an old hymn:
"Gladly, the Cross-eyed Bear".
Ah the rat family. Jim Rome used to keep track of the ones playing pro sports.
Brad Marchand.
Women think they want a scrawny, sunken-chested, guy, right up until SHTF. Then suddenly the brawny guy with broad shoulders, six pack abs, and discernible biceps becomes attractive.
Cue up Bonnie Tyler singing “Holding Out For a Hero.”
I used to work with a fellow named Craig who unfortunately looked rather rat-like (or, anyway, one could see why his co-workers had nicknamed him 'Rat'); I suspect he had lived with 'Rat' for quite a while. These days of course he would be able to take the employer to court. On the other hand, he seemed to me to be not much burdened by the name-- at least, by that stage in his life.
Bring back the rat drawrings.
Ann Althouse:
Are bats rodents?
Not now anyway.
Don't let the cuteness of rat-boy fool you. My daughter's first fiance looked like that. Very controlling and one night it escalated. During an argument he slapped her and pushed her back onto a bed.
As you know, I ran a stunt group. She grew up with some dozen stunt brothers. When she went back on the bed she thought "Daddy would be ashamed of me right now." came up off the bed and beat hell out of him. At one point bouncing his forehead repeatedly off the gray limestone fireplace, pile driving him into a corner and telling him to be gone when she came back.
She didn't tell me or the guys for a year for good reason but made sure to regale us with the details.
Good girl, good riddance. Found a good guy and married for 24 years now.
As Dylan apparently wrote that, he was being shockingly racist. So why try to disprove it?
Simon and Garfunkle met when they were sharing detention for verbally abusing an overweight girl.
In my experience, artists are mostly predatory, preening narcissists.
Maybe Franz Kafka would have had a happier life if an adult now.
I've said since the 90's that Leonardo DiCaprio looked like a rat. Way ahead of the curve.
Now do women's features as animals.
Well, Oligoncells, the guy sounds like an asshole for sure. However, your daughter narrowly escaped a premeditated murder rap.
“… you might be wondering why we’re comparing men to mammals in the first place.“
Wait. What?
