Analysis: Act 2, Scenes 5–7. We first heard tell of Jaques in act 2, scene 1, where we learned of his melancholy disposition. In act 2, scene 5, we officially meet him, and though he seems cheerful enough, he also insists that he can “suck melancholy out of a song as a weasel sucks eggs” (2.5.12–13). The evident pride in this statement ...

After a very successful debut single (“Harden My Heart”) Quarterflash – probably the only major rock band in history fronted by a female saxophone player – found another Top 20 hit with this one in 1982.
This deep cut from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ self-titled 1976 debut album was one of the reasons why rock audiences did like them, and still do to this day.
Our token punk song for the list is this angry and defiant anthem (“1000 more fools are being born/Every f-ing day”) from Bad Religion’s early album Suffer (1988).
Another classic rock deep cut, this one from Van Halen’s third album Women and Children First (1980), which also happens to be, at just under six minutes, the longest track of the band’s David Lee Roth era.
The marketing of this cut from Joe Jackson’s 1978 debut album Look Sharp! seems itself like an April Fools Day joke, as it was only released as a single… in the Netherlands? Still, the song is a good example of the way that British new wave artists of the time were embracing a reggae influence.
Released when she was only sixteen, this 1988 hit made Debbie Gibsonthe youngest person ever to write, produce and record a number one single, a record which she still holds (hmmm…. Maybe not so foolish!).
Nobody, we imagine, asked for a sequel to Caddyshack (certainly not one without Bill Murray, Rodney Dangerfield or the late Ted Knight). But when we did get Caddyshack II in 1989, at least Kenny Loggins got this hit from the soundtrack, his last US Top 10 single to date.
Though a different version originally appears on Whitesnake’s 1980 album Ready and Willin’, it turns out the song wouldn’t be quite ready until nearly a decade later, when a re-recording done for their Slide It In LP made it into the US Top 40.
Alaskan songstressJewelenjoyed her second hit to peak at number two (after “You Were Meant for Me”) in 1998 with this haunting ballad about how a lack of communication in a relationship can have disastrous and emotionally devastating consequences.
Sung by Phil Collins while Peter Gabriel was still the lead singer of Genesis, this whispery ballad hardly predicted that the drummer could eventually become a full-time frontman, much less lead this cult band to top the charts and headline stadiums all over the world (so more fool us).
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool. A miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool, Who laid him down and bask'd him in the sun, And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good terms, 910 In good set terms- and yet a motley fool. 'Good morrow, fool,' quoth I; 'No, sir,' quoth he, 'Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me ...
Jul 31, 2015 · Act 2, scene 7. As Duke Senior and his companions sit down to eat, Orlando enters, demanding food. Welcomed by the duke, he brings Adam to join them. Enter Duke Senior and ⌜Lords,⌝ like outlaws. For I can nowhere find him like a man. My lord, he is but even now gone hence. Here was he merry, hearing of a song.
As I do live by food, I met a fool, 15 Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool. “Good morrow, fool,” quoth I. “No, sir,” quoth he, “Call me not ‘fool’ till heaven hath sent me fortune.” 20 And then he drew a dial from his poke And, looking on ...
