THE FOOL ON THE HILL (Lennon-McCartney) 1967 Written and sung by Paul, who also played piano, recorder and flute. John and George are responsible for the brassy mouth organ sounds. The finished track was edited by 90 seconds. It is the most covered song from Magical Mystery Tour. Sergio Mendes enjoyed a US Top 10 hit with his version in 1968 and Shirley Bassey's cover touched the very lowest reaches of the British charts in 1971.
