"Look Out Cleveland" is the title of the Robbie Robertson-written ninth song listed on The Band's self-titled album, also known as The Brown Album. "Look Out Cleveland" differs from most of the songs on The Band's first two albums in that is more influenced by urban blues music than by rural music.[1] According to music critic Nick DeRiso, Elton John's early song "Take Me to the Pilot" appears to be influenced by this song.[1]
