英披合唱的Paul McCartney和John Lennon在《With A Little Help From My Friends》首歌,Paul他自己所作的《The Fool on the Hill》唱John,John建他快下以免忘了,Paul回他不忘。Paul果然忘,此首《The Fool on the Hill》之後收在The Beatles 1967的《Magical Mystery Tour》中。
依Alistair Taylor ( 曾The Beatles人Brian Epstein的助理,後也助Beatles成理房等事宜,及多本有Beatles的,也是Paul McCartney的好友。) 在其所著〈Yesterday〉中所述,他和Paul McCartney曾共同了一件怪事,也是促成Paul McCartney首《The Fool on the Hill》的起。

Paul McCartney & Alistair Taylor
某日清晨,Paul在Primrose Hill ( 草花山丘? ) 遛他的牧羊犬Martha,他正在日出,Martha跑不了,等他身要找狗,看到一男子站在那,而之前完全未到此男子有出任何的。位男子衣著面,穿著一件束著腰的衣,Paul和位男子互打招呼,男子此山丘俯瞰敦,是多美的景色啊!接著Paul又四周,也才秒,位男子又像般息的消失了。
Paul和Alistair法想像位男子到底生了何事?他似乎就空消失了。即使是用跑的,到最近有木的遮蔽,非秒可到;且山太,也非短可至。而件事情更添神秘色彩的是,男子首度出,Paul和Alistair才正在所的敦美景及造物者的神奇。回到家,他花了一上午,所生的事情合理化。最後人都同意彷像是吸了毒之後的「幻 (Acid Trip)」,但人都誓未使用任何的物。
人眼中的「傻瓜」,有非「真」傻,而是如成所的「大智若愚」吧!Paul McCartney之後此曲中的人物,有像是Maharishi Mahesh Yogi ( 超坐的赫西大 ),由於Maharishi常傻笑,多批者他「傻瓜」,而他也不以意。1968,巴西Sérgio Mendes & Brasil '66翻唱此曲,使用的是bossa nova旋律,得美排行榜第6名,也是在世界各地最多的歌曲。

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
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 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
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 oh oh, round round round 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
Oh, round round round round, oh
