Comedian beats Bob Dylan to punch with 15-minute 'Titanic' song

In an effort to "beat the Master to it," comedian Tim Heidecker has released his own epic song, "Titanic," inspired by Bob Dylan.

First details of Bob Dylan's upcoming album "Tempest"

Last week, Dylan revealed that his upcoming album "Tempest" will feature a 14-minute title track about the sunken ship. Heidecker's take is 15 minutes, 11 seconds long and accompanied by a video.

Heidecker's version is available now through his website. Bob Dylan's "Tempest" is set for release on September 11.
