I'm Gonna Be a Monkey - Ren and Stimpy
Btw, there's another version of Monkey Man by Toots Maytal and the Skatalites.
yay! There are SO MANY monkey songs I haven't heard!
Somehow Ska + Monkeys = makes perfect sense. There should be more ska songs about monkeys.
Why the interest in monkeys, btw?
I have no idea. I heard the Mark Knopfler song at work the other day and thought, hmm. Monkey songs. Immediately, the Peter Gabriel sprang to mind, as well as the Eagles of Death Metal because it has an awesome chorus where the lead singer begs to be your monkey.
little did I know there were so many out there.
