Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 - The Fool On The Hill (1968)

My wife and I contracted with a window washer to clean the inside and outside of all our windows and the gentleman just completed his job and we are good 'til next June! My wife is ecstatic to have that done!!! I'll leave it at that... LOL!

For my next Music Interlude I found a good a song Written for the Beatles, but the cover is performed live by Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66, titled "The Fool On The HIll" from 1968... I think you will all enjoy this smooth Latin style arrangement...

Song Background:
"The Fool on the Hill" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 EP and album Magical Mystery Tour. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. The lyrics describe the titular "fool", a solitary figure who is not understood by others, but is actually wise. In 1968, Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66 recorded a cover version of the song that reached the top ten in the US. By the late 1970s, "The Fool on the Hill" was one of McCartney's most widely recorded ballads.

LYRICS:

"The Fool On The Hill"

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

He never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him

The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning 'round
