Published by MP Sheet Music (A0.1188785)."The Fool on the Hill" was released by The Beatles in 1967 as part of the Magical Mystery Tour album, which also included "All You Need Is Love" and "Penny Lane". The song was written and composed by Paul McCartney and is sung by him and John Lennon on the studio version. The song is about a solitary, eccentric character who stands and watches the activity of the people around him. He does not feel part of the activity that is taking place, since no one notices him or cares about what he says or does. Although people view him as a fool, the narrator says that "he knows more than he speaks". It was well received by critics and was hailed as one of the best songs by The Beatles. "The Fool on the Hill" was praised for its message of acceptance of different people and for its unique music. It was recognized as a symbol of acceptance and tolerance, and is still remembered today as one of the band's most iconic songs.
