On That Note: Chain of Fools

[CycloneRulzzz]

But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?

 

[pourcyne]

How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool
Weak and want you need, nowhere as you bleed

 

[pourcyne]

Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,

 

[MeanDean]

This was my introduction to this song which I've always liked. I wonder who's singing there with ole' Ronnie.

The James Ray version, already posted, was apparently liked by many, including the Beatles.

I posted the James Ray version early in the thread. But this is actually the first version I remember being about 10 years old at the time. It was on the radio mid 60s.

From the best NCAA football soundtrack

Someone tell me why
I do the things that I don't want to do
When you're around me, I'm somebody else
Someone tell me why I act like a fool

[CycloneRulzzz]

Went through to Texas, yeah, Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools

 

[pourcyne]

Hangin' on anyway
Believin' the things you say
Being a fool

Two from Superchunk. Similar intro riff, slightly different tempo, separate songs (for the most part … one might be a reworking of the other).

First one, titled “Like a Fool,” is lead-off track of the album titled “Foolish.”

Second track, titled “Foolish,” is on the compilation “Incidental Music 1991-95” (collection of B-sides & previously unreleased songs).

Make sense?


Like a Fool - Superchunk




Foolish - Superchunk from “Incidental Music”

(Counting this week this song has qualified for 4 straight weeks of OTN topics)

That's why fools end up dining on a bullet
Think everything's fine in the big time

 

[pourcyne]

Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?

 

[cyclones500]

You could miss out school
Won't that be cool?
Why go to learn the word of fools?

Underrated song.

Also has a personal case of misheard lyrics:
“But why the tears there?” …. I hear it as “With wine & cheese there.”

[baller21]

If you think, I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

[pourcyne]

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end
