'Stuck in the Middle With You' was composed by Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty, and although some of the lines in that particular tune are a little reminiscent of some of Dylan's work, saying, as the Wiki article does, "The song is often mistakenly attributed to Bob Dylan, likely
because Rafferty's distinctive voice is similar to Dylan's," is simply not true. Of the two, Dylan's voice is far more distinctive and Rafferty can actually sing.

Steelers Wheel was a Scottish folk/rock band formed in Paisley, Scottland in 1972. The two founding members, Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were school friends from the age of 9.
In the early 1970s, the band was considered to be the British version of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and after two unsuccessful singles, they came to worldwide fame with their hit, "Stuck in the Middle With You".
The band officially broke up in 1975, but in 1992 director Quentin Tarantino used "Stuck in the Middle With You" in the soundtrack of Reservoir Dogs.
