Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Oh Mercy is the twenty-sixth studio album by Bob Dylan, released in 1989. At the time it was well received by critics after a long period of weaker-reviewed albums and thus perceived as a comeback album. Many critics and Dylan fans regard it as his best album of The '80s. The record is best remembered for the single "Everything Is Broken". | |

Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue... | |
| Oh Mercy (Music) / int_3f0e0236 | comment |
The line "We banged the drum slowly" in "Where Teardrops Fall" is a reference to Mark Harris' 1956 novel "Bang The Drum Slowly". The same song also quotes from the poem "Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue...". | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Oh Mercy (Music) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Dylan's "Political World" is one where people are selfish, no one knows what God even is, and when all this evil finally pushes someone to end it, "there's always more than enough rope." | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Oh Mercy (Music) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: In his Chronicles: Volume One memoir, Dylan described "Political World" as "a catalogue of troubles... almost an update on "With God On Our Side" from The Times They Are A-Changin'. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Oh Mercy (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The line "We banged the drum slowly" in "Where Teardrops Fall" is a reference to Mark Harris' 1956 novel "Bang The Drum Slowly". The same song also quotes from the poem "Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue...". "Shooting Star" references Joseph Addison Alexander's poem "There is a line by us unseen that crosses every path/The hidden boundary between God's patience and His wrath." | |
