Love Foolosophy

Not to be confused with Lovefool.

"Love Foolosophy" is the third single from British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, A Funk Odyssey (2001). The song was written by Jason Kay and Toby Smith. The song's title is a play on words, using a made-up portmanteau of "fool" and "philosophy" to express how he is a fool for love. The song peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 20 in Australia, Italy, and Spain.
