The lead singer in this Doobie Brothers song, Michael Mcdonald has a great duet with Patty Labelle 'On My Own'...beautiful song!! Their voices are unbelievable Half was right how the came up with the band name. 👏
OH my sides hurt, laugh lord You made me laugh. I had to get up off the couch and dance with ya both. What fun this was!😂 Thank you so much for reacting to this! Love ya both, but you know that.
Man ‘o man…it’s cool that the music that was just apart of my upbringing is just being discovered by you two! So the Doobies were named just for the reason y’all think. There were 2 versions of the Bros., early Doobies we’re led by Tom Johnson/Pat Simmons (Blackwater, China Grove, Long Train Running, Jesus Is Just Alright..) the second version evolved after Michael McDonald came aboard. A more refined sound (Minute by minute, It keeps you running…). What A Fool Believes won best song at the 1980’s Grammy’s and was their biggest jam! Check ‘em out this summer, they’re still touring!
Lol. I’m standing here in Australia doing my ironing and feeling crap and bam, your reaction has me in stitches. Thank you. One of my faves, Doobie Bros. China Grove my all time favourite. 😂
The lead singer Michael McDonald has collaborated with the best like Ride Like The Wind by Christopher Cross, Ya Mo Be There with James Ingram, Ever Changing Times with Aretha Franklin and On My Own with Patti LaBelle. He has an amazing solo career with I Keep Forgettin which was sampled for Regulate by Warren G and Nate Dogg. Sweet Freedom is another great song too!
essentially the chorus says: A fool will always see what he wants to see. But wise men have the power (ability) to wash that away with reason. "What a fool believes - he sees The wise men have the power To reason away"
Yup that's how it went smoke a doobie and jam out lol. Singer in this is Michael McDonald he is in center of pic What a fool believes he sees The wise man has the power to reason away. Love this tune y'all it's spring cleaning warm weather we made it through the winter song for me
🎯 If I understand right, Michael conceived the music, and Kenny Loggins is the lyricist. But that's just formality. Michael got to a point with the music before he got stuck, & that's when Kenny helped him finish writing the music. Both men collaborated over the phone to write the lyrics "The wise man has the power" or "No wise man has the power..." works either way, musically. Anyone who can't accept that both statements can be true is just narrow minded
Da doobie brothers is one of the best for chilling. Music you sing every word and dance every bump. Smooooooth! Now get up some CCR hits and some Nazareth Hair of the Dog!
You two are great together and absolutely love to hear your reactions to songs from my formative years! Full disclosure. That was the ‘70’s. I’m a 60 yr old white man and love you guys! 👊
You guys make me laugh and smile! Great band! Was one of my good friends who just passed away last month, favorite band. “Listen to the Music” would be a great one from the same band but with a different lead singer. Would love to watch your reaction to that one! Keep up the good vibes!
Jai was having so much fun. I love it! What A Fool Believes (Lyrics) He came from somewhere back in her long ago The sentimental fool don't see Trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created Once in her life, she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say Only to realize it never really was She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But a fool believes he sees The wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing And nothing at all keeps sending him Somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday, somewhere, she will return She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go But a fool believes he sees The wise man has the power to reason away What seems to be (if love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?) Is always better than nothing (Who got the power?) There's nothing at all (oh, now) But a fool believes he sees (I believe she's never gone away) The wise man has the power To reason away (to reason away) What seems to be (oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama) Is always better than nothing (better than nothing) And nothing at all (oh, I believe)
Michael McDonald’s the keyboard player and he’s the lead singer here. They sound different when the group is singing. McDonald left the Doobies to have a solo career so ho check him out too.
Old slang "Can you spare a Doobie, Brother?" Michael McDonald is a legend. "Minute By Minute" is another good one with him in it, or "I Keep Forgetting" is a solo one (Regulate sampled it, Warren G and Nate Dogg), OR his duet with Patti LaBelle "On My Own". Have a great day!
No wise man has the power, to reason away, what seems to be, is always better than nothing.... The guy believe a woman is in love with him but she wasn't. It's in his head.
I want to thank you so much you guys make me laugh everyday I watch you I'm just worried about when she screams like that I hope there's no Neighbors LOL

I was 10 yrs old,,, and this is one of my favorite songs of this group. Jai that was funny,, and yes Half, they adopted the name because they were always smoking pot 😂Awesome reaction ❤️👏🙏🇵🇷🇺🇸✌️
Lol! You two seem to have as much fun listening to this as my son & I do riding around listening to them in my car! Yes, we still love listening to The Doobie Brothers today & I don't know how they came up with the name of the band, but you're probably on to something there Half! Lol! Don't cut the gray out of your beard cause it makes a wise man look distinguished & we both know your girl Jai loves it! Love you two & all your reaction videos!
Love seeing you two ♥️ This song, amongst many others, is another Michael McDonald HOMERUN. That man could sing the phone book and make it sound like a soulful masterpiece! His time with the Doobie Bros was just as phenomenal as his solo career 👏👏👏♥️
Michael McDonald is like the King of Yatch Rock Radio, lol. He is on like every 3rd song on The Bridge on Sirrus XM. Lol 😂😂😂 I would like to see you react to "Only You" by The Platters
It's "NO wise man has the power to reason away what a fool believes." The song is about a guy that runs into a woman from his past who he was always in love with, but never gave him a second thought. He saw the opportunity to rekindle something that never was to begin with. The line "As she rises through her apology, anybody else would surely know......" He's regaling her with past memories and she's just like "I'm really sorry, but I gotta go!" What a fool believes.
Nice. Love this tune. The Doobies Rock! Love Michael McDonald. Glad my Black brothers and sisters are liking this music. I’m an old school white boy and I love you guys. Like Captain and Tennille sang. Love will keep us together!
Yall need to listen to "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll. It's a tear jerker. Also listen to "The Little Girl" by John Michael Montgomery. It's an amazing song. PLEASE LISTEN AND REACT TO THESE SONGS! THANKS. BE SAFE

Watching you and half together 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 is awesome 💕💕💕💕. Love both of you together. I always have. I watch both of you guys channel. But I absolutely love you guys together. Y'all are the best team 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That line in the chorus you were wondering about is "What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away". That just means don't try to argue with someone too stubborn to listen to reason.
Not sure how they came up with the name but back in their time they would constantly get asked if they were actually brothers. They would respond "We don't be related, but we do be brothers"!!!
Jai, @4:25 He's singing . . . "But what a fool believes, he sees The wise man has the power To reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing Than nothing at all" This song ALWAYS has me dancing just like y'all dancing. 😆 It is such a vibe. Anyway, here are all the lyrics . . . [Verse 1] He came from somewhere back in her long ago The sentimental fool don't see Tryin' hard to recreate What had yet to be created Once in her life She musters a smile For his nostalgic tale Never coming near what he wanted to say Only to realize It never really was [Pre-Chorus] She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go [Chorus] But what a fool believes, he sees The wise man has the power To reason away What seems to be Is always better than nothing Than nothing at all [Verse 2] Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago Where he can still believe there's a place in her life Someday, somewhere She will return [Pre-Chorus] She had a place in his life He never made her think twice As he rises to her apology Anybody else would surely know He's watching her go [Chorus] But what a fool believes, he sees The wise man has the power To reason away What seems to be (If love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)

In 1970 they teamed up with bass player Dave Shogren and singer, guitarist and songwriter Patrick Simmons. Johnston has said that the Doobie Brothers name can be credited to a friend who thought it served the band's fondness for "doobies" - a slang for marijuana cigarettes.
I love how you love each other so much! That kind of chemistry is very hard to find. Really like all your reactions, so keep doing your thing! I grew up to this type of music. My father had a good ear for great music. God bless you both and don't hold back on any reaction videos. 🍺🇺🇸
Come again, what??? For real. I'm white, too. Don't I have some alleged cultural advantage?......i d like to call on that right about now.....please...thank you?....maybe later?....truly, I tell you. It's a mystery. I'm hooked, though.
"......only to realize, it never really was.......she, had a place in his life, he, never made her think twice............" 😲people, this is NOT happy song 😣 and it's still relevant today!
That's Michael Mcdonald background singer for Steely Dan. Remember "Peg" that's him in the background. On this album he is in the center with the beard.
I recommend 'What I Won't do for Love" (Bobby Caldwell, 1979) and "Get used to it"( Roger Voudouris,1979l). If you haven't heard these then I highly recommend that you give them a listen.

You both Rock 👊🏻💪🏼👍🏻🤟!!!
You two are, are the kind of folks we like to hang out with.
Enjoying, Music!
“What seems to be is always better than nothing” is such a powerful, desperate sentiment
What's really sad is to think how many relationships are sustained for years by that exact sentiment.
@love...
It really is heartbreaking isn't it? This whole song..."He's watching her go..."
It's over😥
Man ‘o man…it’s cool that the music that was just apart of my upbringing is just being discovered by you two! So the Doobies were named just for the reason y’all think.

Same!! 70’s & 80’s music was what I grew up with. Didn’t realize how amazing it was until now.
Anything with Michael McDonald is golden! He has an amazing voice, so soothing like butter 💙
Lol. I’m standing here in Australia doing my ironing and feeling crap and bam, your reaction has me in stitches. Thank you.
One of my faves, Doobie Bros. China Grove my all time favourite. 😂

He was also a big part of Steely Dan.
Yes, Doobies! We were rather fond of them in the 70’s. 😂🤘🏼
A great song that makes the human spirit soar
essentially the chorus says:
A fool will always see what he wants to see.
But wise men have the power (ability) to wash that away with reason.
"What a fool believes - he sees
The wise men have the power
To reason away"
No. It's "No wise men have the power...." Totally different meaning. Unreciprocated love is a downer and can fool all of us. Even a wise man.
Yup that's how it went smoke a doobie and jam out lol.
Singer in this is Michael McDonald he is in center of pic
What a fool believes he sees
The wise man has the power to reason away. Love this tune y'all it's spring cleaning warm weather we made it through the winter song for me
When music had meaning. ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely
I love it when jai gets tickled like that! Yall are just such a fun and loving couple.
"The wise man has the power...to reason away" Michael McDonald is the keyboard and vocals on this song.
No wise man has the power...to reason away..
@Diane Malone what se-ems to b-e, is always better than nothing!
"What a fool believes he sees no wise man has the power to reason away..." Actually much deeper, and so, so true.
Tell the truth dusty. I'll just be that you can sing this song too can't ya? ;-) ;-) ;-)
🎯 If I understand right, Michael conceived the music, and Kenny Loggins is the lyricist. But that's just formality. Michael got to a point with the music before he got stuck, & that's when Kenny helped him finish writing the music. Both men collaborated over the phone to write the lyrics

Da doobie brothers is one of the best for chilling. Music you sing every word and dance every bump.
Smooooooth!
Now get up some CCR hits and some Nazareth Hair of the Dog!
Maybe the song sounds familiar because that's Michael McDonald's voice you hear singing the lead.
Warren G sampled, "I Keep Forgetting", by Michael McDonald ( singer here ), during his solo career. Another great one.
The song is about a man who loves a woman who could care less about him.
Couldn’t care less…stop using that the wrong way
You two are great together and absolutely love to hear your reactions to songs from my formative years!
Full disclosure. That was the ‘70’s.
I’m a 60 yr old white man and love you guys! 👊
You guys make me laugh and smile! Great band! Was one of my good friends who just passed away last month, favorite band. “Listen to the Music” would be a great one from the same band but with a different lead singer. Would love to watch your reaction to that one! Keep up the good vibes!

What A Fool Believes (Lyrics)
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
Once in her life, she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize it never really was
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But a fool believes he sees
The wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
But a fool believes he sees
The wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be (if love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)
Is always better than nothing
(Who got the power?)
There's nothing at all (oh, now)
But a fool believes he sees (I believe she's never gone away)
The wise man has the power
To reason away (to reason away)
What seems to be (oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)
Is always better than nothing (better than nothing)
And nothing at all (oh, I believe)
I think the lyrics are "what a fool believes(like the title), no wise man has the power reason away"
@@mikemiller3069 Yep
This is a lyric worth digging into. Great melody but really sad song.
Michael McDonald’s the keyboard player and he’s the lead singer here.
They sound different when the group is singing.

"The wise man has the power" is the phrase you were questioning. This song is a Classic and Timeless. Michael Mcdonald, the lead singer, is a Legend!!
Check out
Michael McDonald
I Keep Forgetting
Old slang "Can you spare a Doobie, Brother?"
Michael McDonald is a legend.
"Minute By Minute" is another good one with him in it, or "I Keep Forgetting" is a solo one (Regulate sampled it, Warren G and Nate Dogg), OR his duet with Patti LaBelle "On My Own".
Have a great day!
Or maybe they were writing songs got stuck puffin on some MJ and one said, hey! Pass the doobie, brother ✌️😎 just saying 😉
I needed to hear Jai’s laugh today. Thanks, y’all!
Michael McDonald with James Ingram, "YAH MO BE THERE"🔥You won't be disappointed!
Please do more music by this group. They're literally one of the best to do it 😉
No wise man has the power, to reason away, what seems to be, is always better than nothing.... The guy believe a woman is in love with him but she wasn't. It's in his head.

I've seen a lot of reactions to this song. You guys have my favorite one. Cheers from Canada!
It's "NO wise man has the power to reason away what a fool believes." The song is about a guy that runs into a woman from his past who he was always in love with, but never gave him a second thought.

Takin To The Streets. Definitely a song to do!!!!
Loved the reaction! They aren't related, but they Doobie brothers!
The wise man has the power.
Damn, you guys are having a hell of a time! I want come hang with people like you when I need a pick me up! Awesome!

Doobie brothers are a great chill band, and you guys are awesome!
You two are great. If you've never heard Tedeshi Truck Band then please check them out. I think you both would enjoy them. Try "Midnight in Harlem"
Hard to believe this is the same band that came out with "Neal's Fandango." The band has gone through so many changes. Love it all.
DOBBIE BROTHERS …… great group
Michael McDonald singing !!!!!!!
I love this song growing up as a young kid living in Denver….brings up a lot of memories….
As he rises to her apology/Everybody else would surely know/watching her go/what a fool believes/to seee./The wise man has the power
We had a saying in the 70's. Which Doobie you be. And, we'd die laughing.
You guessed right, they smoked tons of doobies, like all the time. So they called themselves the Doobie Brothers.
Completely original song. My 1st concert in 1981. My mom was mad when I came home and she figured out what Doobie meant.
The line is: "What a fool believes, No wise man has the power to reason away"
Anybody wants to them MJ singing background… 🤫
I keep forgetting- Michael McDonold
They are called a Doobie Brothers because they Doobie Brothers
great seeing you two :) cool song from dobbie brothers :)
Watching you and half together 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 is awesome 💕💕💕💕. Love both of you together. I always have. I watch both of you guys channel. But I absolutely love you guys together. Y'all are the best team 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Omg Jai has the best laugh!! I love it...it makes me laugh too
That line in the chorus you were wondering about is "What a fool believes he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away". That just means don't try to argue with someone too stubborn to listen to reason.
The Doobie Brothers have some incredible music and every time I hear it, it brings me back to when I was a teenager. great reaction
Lyric very emotional. Story of a one-sided love.
Not sure how they came up with the name but back in their time they would constantly get asked if they were actually brothers. They would respond "We don't be related, but we do be brothers"!!!
Groovy Tune! I’ve missed your guys reactions!😊
Jai, @4:25
He's singing . . .
"But what a fool believes, he sees
The wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all"
This song ALWAYS has me dancing just like y'all dancing. 😆 It is such a vibe.
Anyway, here are all the lyrics . . .
[Verse 1]
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created
Once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
[Pre-Chorus]
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
[Chorus]
But what a fool believes, he sees
The wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
Than nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere
She will return
[Pre-Chorus]
She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go
[Chorus]
But what a fool believes, he sees
The wise man has the power
To reason away
What seems to be
(If love can come and love can go, then why can't love return once more?)
Is always better than nothing
(Who got the power?)
Than nothing at all (Oh, now)
What a fool believes
(I believe she's never gone away), he sees
The wise man has the power (to reason away)
To reason away
What seems to be
(Oh, if love can come and love can go, oh, mama)
Is always better than nothing (better than nothing)
Than nothing at all (oh, I believe)
What a fool believes he sees
NO wise man has the power to reason away
I was 16 yrs old when this came out & I was IN LOVE with this song, just fabulous!!
In 1970 they teamed up with bass player Dave Shogren and singer, guitarist and songwriter Patrick Simmons. Johnston has said that the Doobie Brothers name can be credited to a friend who thought it served the band's fondness for "doobies" - a slang for marijuana cigarettes.
Nice to see you guys really cutting loose 🤩
How does a black man not know this song?
Brings back good childhood memories with the Doobie's... please react to more.
I love how you love each other so much! That kind of chemistry is very hard to find. Really like all your reactions, so keep doing your thing! I grew up to this type of music. My father had a good ear for great music. God bless you both and don't hold back on any reaction videos. 🍺🇺🇸
Come again, what??? For real. I'm white, too. Don't I have some alleged cultural advantage?......i d like to call on that right about now.....please...thank you?....maybe later?....truly, I tell you. It's a mystery. I'm hooked, though.
DO THE SONG LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!...alot of people sampled .I KEEP FORGETTING by singer Michael Mcdonald ...check it out
I love that laugh! Y’all made my morning! Had me laughing and grinning from ear to ear! Keep doing what you do! Love y’all!
One more try....and back to square 1. Having fun....its been about 40+ years so far. Lets keep going
Yep..this is solid gold.....
This is classic R&B to me.
nice beard brother !!
"......only to realize, it never really was.......she, had a place in his life, he, never made her think twice............" 😲people, this is NOT happy song 😣 and it's still relevant today!
That's Michael Mcdonald background singer for Steely Dan. Remember "Peg" that's him in the background. On this album he is in the center with the beard.
I recommend 'What I Won't do for Love" (Bobby Caldwell, 1979) and "Get used to it"( Roger Voudouris,1979l). If you haven't heard these then I highly recommend that you give them a listen.
My man Michael McDonald! At one time, he was a part of The Doobie Brothers!🎵🎶🎼🎤✌
