"The Fool On The Hill" is a Paul McCartney-written sing by the Beatles recorded in 1967 for their album Magical Mystery Tour. A previous mix featured McCartney's demo along with a rare cover by Aretha Franklin. This mix features versions by Sarah Vaughan, The Four Tops, Lena Horne, Bobbie Gentry singing in Japanese, a pre-teen Bjork singing in Icelandic and the album version by The Beatles.
One other sing repeats: Prince's "17 Days" which was a b-side to his 1984 hit single "When Doves Cry" with The Revolution, here with a solo piano version.
The rest: Herbie Hancock's aptly-titled "Gentle Thoughts", Raydio's playful "Betcha Can't Love Me Just Once", MF Doom's witty "Doomsday", The Motels' pensive "Suddenly Last Summer", Pusha T's Kanye West-produced "Sociopath" with Kash Doll, the JFK and Depeche Mode-sampling "Wordz Of Wizdom" by 3rd Bass, the cautionary "Marijuana, The Devil's Flower" by Mr. Sunshine, the lightly Spanish "Comprende" by Hillard Street and Jack Marhsall's Music, the spiritual "He Is My Story" by Arizona Dranes and Choir, Peggy Lee's live version of Tim Hardin's standard "Reason To Believe", the ethereal "Changes" by The Zombies and Paul Weller's wise "Everyone Must Have A Purpose".
