Pub conversation from the other night: Which tunes would comprise the Best Monkey Album in the World EVER?
Current Tracklisting, off the top of my dome:
Hey Hey we’re the Monkees, by… THE MONKEES
Monkeywrench by Foo Fighters
Monkey magic theme tune
Monkey by George Michael
Thrill my Gorilla by Alice Cooper
I can’t remember no more. Suggestions can include Monkey themed lyrics, and any other kind of simian based title.
Society would judge you a monster if you did not contribute. Do it now!
Everybody got something to hide ('cept for me and my monkey) - The Beatles
Monkey man - Rolling Stones
Monkey Man by The Rolling Stones
Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey by The Beatles
Jeeez.
Wow. That’s a simulpost!
King Kong Man–The Kinks
King Kong Song–ABBA
Anything by Gorrilaz
Sorry, forgot to add - There is no place for any Beatles or Beatles members songs on my Monkey album
Oh yeah, Monkey gone to heaven by The Pixies
Too much Monkey Business - chuck Berry
Anything by Oasis (cos they look like monkeys).
And how could we forget:
Funky Gibbon - The Goodies.
Sorry, but it’s our monkey album now!! 
Apeman by The Kinks
Monkey by Low
Actually, the Kinks have “King Kong” and “Ape Man” (two separate songs).
Which leads to the question: do apes count as monkeys for this purpose?
Shock the Monkey - Peter Gabriel
Damn right.
Unfinished Monkey Business by Ian Brown.
Monkey Vs Robot by James Kochalka.
You Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla) - The Dickies
Monkey Time - Major Lance
Apes in Capes - Slapp Happy
Monkey and the Engineer - Jesse Fuller/Grateful Dead
Run Red Run - The Coasters
Gitarzan - Ray Stevens
Almost forgot this masterpiece:
Ape Call - Nervous Norvus
“Monkey to Man” – Elvis Costello
“Make a Monkey” by Rick Altizer has extra monkeyness provided by the jungly guitar of Adrian Belew.
Flash Gordon’s Ape – Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
Wesley Willis’ “Pinhead Circus” features a monkey solo in the middle.
Don’t know what happened to my quote above, but Apes are thoroughly acceptable.
