1. Except if 'foo' IS NULL, where COUNT(*) might be better.

True, it was just a starting point. If the OP wants entire records this
query is going to get quite complex.

2. But does the OP want one row for each row that has a duplicate, or
   one row for each set of duplicates?

My impression was that the OP wants one unique row, regardless of the
number of duplicates.
