Item 177: (April) Fools Rush In

Entered by micklpkl on Thu Apr 1 15:00:39 2004:

I thought it might be fun (given the date) to list the songs that have
"fool" in either the title or in the lyrics. 

No fair cheating! Anyone call go to allmusic.com or google and search
for foolish things. :-}

World Party, "Ship of Fools"

        I got to get to music.cf more than once a month.

        Music that fools you include The Rutles, where you can 
hear the remains of two Beatles songs smashed together with
new lyrics.
        Big Daddy, the band of '59 had been great at taking
current tunes and turning them into tracks you would expect
to hear in the pre-Beatle era.  Of course the tunes they 
picked on in 1979-1986 are now as old as the styles they
where using then, where then.  (Huh, aww read again!)
        They also turned The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album into
that pre-Beatle era sound.  Sacrilidge or tribute?  You
decide!  It still may be available thru Rhino Records on CD.

were, not where.  Helps parse the sentence.

        Yeah, it's one of my common mis-types.

Big Daddy, yes I remember them.  Their version of the Star Wars theme 
as a Ventures instrumental was just brilliant, and their take on "Girls 
Just Wanna Have Fun" (they cross-bred it with "Duke of Earl") was even 
more brilliant.
