Happy April Fools!

Nicole wrote in to us with the theme suggestion saying: "Today is April Fools Day. There are quite a few movies with this theme to their plots. Are there a bunch of songs that do the same?"

So for today's Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention some form of pranks or trickery?

And thanks to Nicole for the suggestion!
