Bob Dylan – ‘Motorpsycho Nightmare’ (1964)

This 1964 Dylan song overtly mentions La Dolce Vita, but pulls even more from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, and even name checks its star and most famous scene:
There stood Rita, looking just like Tony Perkins / She said, “Would you like to take a shower? I’ll show you up to the door / I said, “Oh, no, no, I’ve been through this movie before”
