  • "Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For" is a non-album double A-side by The Stone Roses. It was released in the UK, U.S. , Australia, Germany, Japan, and Spain. "Fools Gold" and "What the World Is Waiting For" are also available on the compilation Turns Into Stone. "Fools Gold" is also available as the final track on the US release of The Stone Roses self-titled LP, as well as the Very Best of The Stone Roses compilation. "Fools Gold" became the band's biggest commercial hit at the time. It was their first single to reach the top ten of the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the Top 75 for fourteen weeks, peaking at number eight. The dance-oriented song showcased the rhythm section of Mani on bass and Reni on percussion. John Squire also shone on guitar with its various wah-wah pedal effects. Finally, Ian Brown sang the vocals in a unique whispered delivery. He would also perform with this technique for the track "Something's Burning". The bassline was "inspired" by "Know How" by Young MC, which is a sample from the Shaft theme song, performed by Isaac Hayes. The lyrics reference Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and the Marquis de Sade. The drum track, though played by Reni, was recorded as he played in time to a sample of Bobby Byrd's rendition of "Hot Pants" at the insistence of Squire, angering the drummer at the apparent lack of belief in his talent. This was later said to have contributed to Reni leaving the band. Despite its overwhelming success, the band did not intend to release "Fools Gold" as an A-side. Promo kits originally contained "What the World Is Waiting For" as the A-side, with "Fools Gold" on the B-side. When the press began raving about the song's funky bassline, the band was confused since "What the World Is Waiting For" was a simple guitar based track. The Roses realized the press was referring to "Fools Gold" and they promptly released the songs as a double A-side. After Reni left the band in 1995, "Fools Gold" was essentially retired from the live set, since replacement Robbie Maddix could not emulate Reni's complex drumming loops. In May 2007, NME magazine placed "Fools Gold" at number 32 in its list of the 50 Greatest Indie Anthems Ever. Australian radio station Triple J voted "Fools Gold" number 76 in its Triple J Hottest 100 of all time in July 2009.
  • Fools Gold ist ein Lied der englischen Musikgruppe The Stone Roses. Es gilt als der bekannteste Song der Gruppe und eines der wichtigsten Songs der Madchester Bewegung. Geschrieben wurde Fools Gold von John Squire und Ian Brown. Ursprünglich war der Song als B-Seite von What The World Is Waiting For gedacht, die Single wurde dann aber wegen sehr vieler positiver Reaktionen zu Fools Gold als Doppel-A-Seite herausgebracht. Im Vergleich zu den vorherigen melodiösen, gitarrenlastigen Songs der Stone Roses war Fools Gold mehr Dance orientiert und passte gut in das aufkeimende Madchester Genre. Fools Gold avancierte 1989 zum ersten Top Ten Hit der Stone Roses in den UK Top 40. Der Song erreichte später noch mehrfach die UK Top 40. Fools Gold wurde auf keinem offiziellen Studioalbum der Stone Roses veröffentlicht. Zu finden ist der Song auf der US-Amerikanischen Version von The Stone Roses (Album) sowie den Compilations Turns into Stone, The Complete Stone Roses sowie The Very Best of The Stone Roses.
  • Fools Gold on brittiläisen rock-yhtyeen The Stone Rosesin kuuluisa hittikappale, vaikka sitä ei ole virallisesti julkaistu millään albumilla, silti se on yhtyeen tutuimpia kappaleita. Kappale on julkaistu tuplasinglenä "What The World Is Waiting For" kappaleen kanssa vuonna 1989 ja julkaistu yhtyeen debyyttialbumin The Stone Rosesin kymmenvuotis-juhlapainoksen bonuslevylle. Alun perin kappale on n. 9 minuuttinen, mutta tunnetaan silti parhaiten lyhennettynä neljän minuutin versiona.
