"Foolish Games" is a song by Jewel released as her third/fourth and final single, taken from her debut album Pieces of You. It was also the third single to be lifted from the Batman & Robin motion picture soundtrack. Jewel re-recorded the single for the soundtrack to produce a more radio-friendly version, similar to her other singles "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "You Were Meant for Me". A verse was removed from the original lyrics to shorten the length of the song. The single version can be found on the soundtrack of Batman & Robin.

The song details Jewel's frustration and agony of knowing that her lover does not care about her as much as she cares for him. The song parallel's Bruce Wayne's relationship with Julie Madison, as well as his friendship/partnership with Dick Grayson/Robin. The melodic line and chord progression of the verses in "Foolish Games" carry echoes of "Diamonds & Rust", recorded by Joan Baez.

A Cd single for the song was not issued in the United States, however, a re-released version of the "You Were Meant For Me" single CD had a hidden bonus track of the single version of "Foolish Games".

"Foolish Games"/"You Were Meant For Me" ranked at #15 on Billboard's All Time Top 100., and held the record in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest chart run of a single for "Foolish Games"/"You Were Meant for Me", which charted for 65 weeks. This record was later surpassed by "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes in 1997 and 1998, and "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz in 2008 and 2009, with the former song spending 69 weeks on the chart and the latter with 76 weeks. Jewel was also nominated for Best Pop Female Vocal at the 1998 Grammy Awards for this song

We don't know how we did it, but me and Elliot managed to score a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 WAY earlier than intended! So, what's the final verdict? I'm enjoying Pancakes, and I feel asleep!

5.62 min. | 4.52 user rating		 Right guys, I had to go out and buy myself 3 of the Marik decks for no other reason than the Mirror Forces and the Gravekeeper monsters! Totalling 3 Mirror Forces, 6 Spies... Plus 3 Book of Moons (Get in) 3 Foolish Burials and MST's. So all in all I'd say its a pretty damn good Structure deck to buy. Personally I think its going to create another Cheap/Budget Meta deck in Gravekeepers perhaps with the added element of Lava Golem. I can see a few burn decks appearing heavily based around Lava Golem to in the near future. Anyway, I've typed enough. Make sure to Rate, Comment and most of all Subscribe!!
