Snapshots #286: A Top Ten Fool Songs

Don't laugh at me because I'm a fool... clearly I didn't fool any of you by suggesting that yesterday's Snapshots had nothing to do with the date on the calendar. You all have far too much Wisdom...

Here are ten foolish tunes...


10. Stone, Partridge, Lighthouse.

They're all families.

Family - No Mule's Fool

9. Long in the tooth.

The wisdom tooth comes with age...

Norman Wisdom - Don't Laugh at Me 'Cause I'm a Fool

Or you could have had...

Norman Wisdom - Wisdom Of A Fool

Or...

Norman Wisdom - What Kind Of Fool

Or a load more, to be honest. Take your pick.

8. Reverend Green hits the Southern Comfort.

Al Green meets Matthews Southern Comfort...

Al Matthews was the actor who played Gunnery Sergeant Apone in the movie Aliens... and Benny's dad in Grange Hill. He was also a Radio 1 DJ for a time, and hit the UK Top 20 in 1975 with this... 

Al Matthews - Fool

7. The camera surely holds the answer.

The camERA SUREly...

Erasure - Ship Of Fools

6. Cowboy King on a windy beach.

The king of the cowboys was Roy Rogers. If he was on a windy beach, he'd be getting covered in sand.

Sandy Rogers - Fool For Love

One from the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, if you think you've heard it before.

5. No Jacket required. So good they named him twice.

This is the lead singer of My Morning Jacket. But here, he is solo. And Jim James is the same name twice.

Jim James - Just A Fool

4. Fatboy in the leaves of grass.

Fatboy Slim + Walt Whitman =

Slim Whitman - I'm A Fool

3. Barry's boa.

Barry White had a pet snake. 

Whitesnake - Fool For Your Lovin'

2. Selkirk oboe.

Anagram!

Elkie Brooks - No More The Fool

Or you could have had...

Elkie Brooks - Fool If You Think It's Over

1. Nobody but my sweet baby.

In The Who Who Song, Jackie Wilson sang "Who? Who? Nobody but my sweet baby..."

Meet the new boss...
Same as the old boss


1. The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again

You'd be a fool not to come back for more next Saturday.
