April Fool’s Day is celebrated every year on April 1. It is the one time of year you are allowed to play tricks and pranks on loved ones and friends. Around here, we like to celebrate holidays through songs. So, we created a list of top songs that have the word FOOL in the song title. Enjoy our list of Fool Songs.
But how did April Fool’s Day get started? There are references to the day in medieval times in literature. Some of the foolishness in the past lasted up to a week! We won’t try and decipher what is true here as that would be foolishness… Pun intended.
