Fool On the Hill - the Beatles 6. Me So Stupid - ZZ Top 7. Jack the Idiot Dunce - The Kinks 8. Stupid Thing - Aimee Mann 9. I’m a Fool to Want You - Frank Sinatra According to the Wikipedia page on the song, “It would not have escaped Sinatra that his unbridled and uncontrollable passion for [Ava] Gardner and the consequential collateral damage it caused his family, reputation, and career made him a fool, not only in his own eyes, but to the world. So, he felt the song was perfect for his current situation and, for him personally, somewhat cathartic.” ---
