Thank you, my friend SP5 Mark Kuzinski for posting the music video of Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 performing a cover of the wonderful Beatles ballad "The Fool On The Hill"
Brasil 66 certainly did a great bossa nova [a jazz-inflected derivative of samba] cover of "The Fool On The Hill"
The Fool on the Hill written by John Winston Lennon and Paul James McCartney
The Beatles
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way
Head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day
Fool on the hill
Day after day after day after day after day"
