"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey

Can't forget the immortal - the man and the song - Dave Bartholomew's "The Monkey" ("...the monkey speaks his mind..."). New Orleans rhythm & blues legend and Fats Domino's bandleader and co-songwriter, some of you may remember this song from The Fabulous Thunderbirds' 80's cover version.

High As Monkeys by Boo Radleys!

I was listening to Kingsize by them just now, heard monkeys and headed straight over here.

OK, not a title or lyric, just a great quote from the inimitable Tom Waits:

"Here's something i stumbled upon at my daughter's birthday party: I rubbed the outside of a large tight balloon and obtained the familiar screaming warble you hear when clowns are making balloon animals. I found that if you put cornstarch on your hands and "play" it, it sounds very much like an Eric Dolphy solo, or a monkey with its hair on fire."

Jeez, 60's tune, "One Monkey, Don't Stop No Show" by Free Soul Eyes.

60s dance song The Funky Monkey.
