A bit silly and funny? Well, yes, if you aren't aware of it's meaning. I believe it is a pointer to where Bob's convictions lie.
If you watch the 60 mins interview you can see him claim to have made a "bargain" with someone or something a long time ago to get him to where he is today. The "chief commander of this world and the world we can't see". He is initiated into the occult world of the Freemasons. I believe around the time of "Another side of Bob Dylan", either shortly before or shortly after he was scouted out by the PTB as a potential threat to their agenda. His next album "Bringing it all Back home" has a much more esoteric and abstract theme to it. The songs on that he refers to as magical.
A recent video by Lil Wayne portrays him being initiated by a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman is a symbol of what the Devil has to offer as very appealing. Vis a vis, Hell's My Wife's Hometown.
Bob still retains much control over his creative output. Nevertheless he is still tied by the bargain he made in his past. Whoever or whatever he made that bargain with he refers to as his wife in this song. Lucifer.
So, he is being honest to anyone with ears to hear. Hell's his Wife's Hometown. Believe it or not.
