Seven Versions Of "What A Fool Believes"

I don't know why I like "What A Fool Believes" so much. Can't put my finger on it. Maybe all the key changes. And while I don't even own any Doobie Brothers albums, now I have even MORE covers of the song thanks to this MP3 post sent by reader Jason. It's his second blog post ever! Nice start.

"What A Fool Believes," is Yacht Rock at it's finest.

you can't beat the piano chords of the original - their like jazz chords and so far from the norm in pop music. Ace.

how could they leave out the version by Peter Cox of Go West? why there was even a "NIghtfly" remix released as a single? quite polished, that one.

I'd go with the Self cover. It's a fun version to speed in your car to. Haha...

Hey check out Mandrake by MF DOOM on Special Herbs vol 7&8. I love this version, so much we played it for an hour straight at a party (i had to edit it to a perfect loop). anyways the best part is the "he came from" snippet. just listen to it in the background, you'll know what i mean.
