Review
The soundtrack to Master P's 1999 film Foolish is a rather predictable No Limit all-star compilation including tracks from Master P himself, plus Silkk the Shocker, Snoop Dogg, Mia X, Mystikal, and C-Murder. ~ Keith Farley, Rovi| Foolish (1994 Album by Superchunk) | |

Foolish is Superchunk's fourth studio album. It was recorded November 30 through December 2, 1993, at Pachyderm Studios, by Brian Paulson. It was released by Merge Records in 1994.
The cover art is credited to the band's bassist, Laura Ballance.
This is the second consecutive Superchunk album where the band recorded a song of the same name, but didn't put it on the album. The US vinyl edition of the album included "Foolish" on a bonus 7" single.[2] The song eventually appeared on the band's Incidental Music compilation.
The video for "Driveway to Driveway" is a takeoff on the classic film The Philadelphia Story. In the video, drummer Jon Wurster plays a rich buffoon and singer Mac McCaughan plays a scrappy lower-class guy both competing for the affections of Ballance's character. Guitarist Jim Wilbur plays a butler. The four members also portray musicians.
