~ The Fool On The Hill (Parodia)
Views: 1029 |  |  |  |  | Parodia del video de 'The Fool On The Hill', actuado originalmente por Paul McCartney y parodiado por mí. Con mucho cariño y respeto para McCartney.
Hace ya varios años, desde ke por primera vez ví 'Magical Mystery Tour', allá por 1996, siempre me gust ...More ó este video. Desde entonces quise hacerlo, pero hasta ke tuve cámara, y en un momento de depresión severa (pues acababa de ser despedido del CEN del PRD) un día mi hermano y yo subimos al cerro ke se encuentra a unas cuadras de mi casa.
Llevávamos la cámara de video, y como ese día hacía una puesta de sol bellísima, le dije 'oye wey, este es el momento', y filmamos la primera escena del video.
Desde entonces comenzamos a juntar escenas (todas fueron hechas entre junio y agosto de 2005) y, en realidad, como se habrán dado cuenta, el video no está terminado. Uno de los principales motivos, es ke no hemos ido a la playa... jejeje
Pero algún día quedará terminado, y entonces lo compartiré en YouTube (si no me han cerrado mi cuenta) y lo podrán disfrutar. Ojala les guste |

~ The Beatles - The Fool On The Hill

Copyright - 1967 EMI Records Ltd.
The Fool on the Hill" is a song by The Beatles. It was written and sung by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon/McCartney) and recorded in 1967. It was included on the Magical Myster ...More y Tour EP and album, and presented in the Magical Mystery Tour film, with a promotional sequence shot near Nice, in France from 30-31 October 1967.
McCartney said of the song:
" 'Fool on the Hill' was mine and I think I was writing about someone like Maharishi. His detractors called him a fool. Because of his giggle he wasn't taken too seriously ... I was sitting at the piano at my father's house in Liverpool hitting a D 6th chord, and I made up 'Fool on the Hill.' "
Alistair Taylor, in the book Yesterday, reports a mysterious incident involving a man who inexplicably appeared near him and McCartney during a walk on Primrose Hill and then disappeared again, soon after McCartney and Taylor had conversed about the existence of God; this allegedly prompted the writing of the song.
McCartney played the song for John Lennon during a writing session for "With a Little Help from My Friends," and Lennon told him to write it down. McCartney didn't; he was sure he wouldn't forget it. In his 1980 interview with Playboy, Lennon said, "Now that's Paul. Another good lyric. Shows he's capable of writing complete songs."
Recording
McCartney recorded a solo demo version of the song on 6 September 1967. This version was later released on the Anthology 2 compilation. Recording began in earnest on 25 September, with significant overdubs by the Beatles on 26 September. Mark Lewisohn said that the 26 September version was "almost a re-make." A take from 25 September is also included on Anthology 2. After another session on 27 September where McCartney added another vocal, the song sat for a month before flutes were added on 20 October. The final piece recorded was a bass guitar overdub on 25 October.
Critical reaction
Richie Unterberger of All Music Guide said that "The Fool on the Hill" was the best of the new songs on Magical Mystery Tour aside from I Am the Walrus. Tim Riley, a music critic who has contributed to NPR, was not impressed, and unfavorably compared the subject of this song to fools in Shakespeare. Riley wrote, "Possibilities in this song outweigh its substance—it's the most unworthy Beatles standard since 'Michelle.'"
Cover versions/References
The All Music Guide lists more than 100 cover versions of the song.
In The Beatles' song "Glass Onion", the lyrics "I told you 'bout the Fool on the Hill/I tell you man, he lives in there still."
Recorded 25 September 1967
:
Day after day alone on the 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, his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
is 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
Oh, round, round, round, round, 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
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
And he never listen to them
He knows that they're the fools
But 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
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
oh |

~ The Beatles Compilation 3 The fool on the hill
Views: 1297 |  |  |  |  | a movie featuring The Fool On The Hill by Paul McCartney
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,
...More 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 percetly 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.
(solo)
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.
Ohh-ohh-oh-ohhh-oh-oh!
And round, and round, and round, and round, and 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.
Ohhhh, ohhhh! |
