Today is April 1, which is April Fools' Day. Long a haven for pranks and tricksters, the day has taken on new meaning in the age of the Internet, so you can expect plenty of online-related gags all day (Google has already changed its name to "Topeka" for a day and the hilarious minds at nerd outpost Think Geek have rolled out their April Fools' Day products, including Dharma Initiative alarm clock and canned unicorn meant). Musicians aren't immune to the charms of April Fools' Day either, as just last year Coldplay announced their new album would be recorded in zero gravity and Kid Rock told everybody he was acquiring the naming rights to the baseball stadium in Detroit.

In case you plan on goofing on your co-workers, roommates or significant others today, why not fire up an April Fools-appropriate soundtrack? You can map out your gags with a spring in your step care of Run-DMC's "It's Tricky" or contemplate your own "Foolish Games" with Jewel. Do you pride yourself on being both a joker and a thief? Wolfmother has your theme song. Or are you perhaps the victim of a lot of pranks and punks every time the month of April rolls around? Evanescence feel your pain. Intent on being "Nobody's Fool" today? Only firing up some Cinderella can really guarantee that.

Of course, the April Fools' Day soundtrack kicks off with Rufus Wainwright's "April Fools," a bubbly little slice of cabaret rock that dances and swaggers and not only reminds us of the perils of April Fools' Day but also feels a lot like spring.
