Ok, this jam needed some intimate reflection before i felt comfortable posting it, seeing that it happens to be my jam. Now, after some time, I feel i'm ready to tell you about it's long and storied past. This little yacht-rock gem was a huge hit back in the seventies and eighties, and it certainly raised that shlocky Michael McDonald to certain fame, but lets not hold that against it!
Throw this jam on like five songs into a playlist and it will add some momentum to an otherwise reticent group of party people. On the other hand, say you're getting depressed listening to Bright Eyes, Coheed and Cambria, Mars Volta, or some other modern shit: this is the perfect remedy. It's totally unexpected and, on the surface, cheesy as all get out. But at the end of the day, this song is a bright, gleaming reminder that our best years as a culture are blissfully behind us. And that is why, at long last, "What A Fool Believes" falls nicely into a list of obvious jams.
btdubs...my fav part is when the guitarist with the long hair busts out with the guitar stabs, all the while wearing this cheesy grin. Now doesn't he look pleased with himself.

OMG, I'm a little disturbed. The cheesy grin is scary, almost clown-like. You need to really warn people about that shit.
