Shock the Monkey!

One of my all-time favorite music videos and hit songs is Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel. I'm not a kinky crazy inflated monkey, but I do like music and partying. I've been writing to Mr. Gabriel for quite some time now asking to be in the music video remake, but no go on that deal....yet! Either way, his song always gets me energized! It's been featured on the hilarious South Park show and even in that sad movie about Monkey experimentation called Project X!

Shock the Monkey also makes for a cool ringtone for my iPhone!

The Shock the Monkey MP3 is available at Amazon.com.

Check out the lyrics below and the YouTube video!


Shock the Monkey
by Peter Gabriel
Album: Security

Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now Im on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know when youre going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I cant take any more
Darling, dont you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey

Wheels keep turning
Somethings burning
Dont like it but I guess Im learning

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey

Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

A Crazy Monkey at the Beach

Friends, I gotta tell you there's plenty of craazy monkeys out there! I was recently surfing online checking up on my monkey friends and family and came across a rather revealing YouTube video of a monkey. I hope this crazy monkey realizes what he's done with an innocent sand sculpture!

Check out this video of a crazy monkey at the beach!

PS: Don't worry this crazy monkey prefers to float in the ocean and swim with the bikini babes when I hit the beaches!

Brass Monkey Lyrics by Beastie Boys!

One of this crazy monkey's all-time favorite music groups is the Beastie Boys. These guys have been partying ever since they emerged on the scene a long, long time ago...Their hit album Licensed to Ill must be like Quadruple Platinum right about now! Either way, they created one of my favorite songs of all time, Brass Monkey. It's all about partying it up with one of their favorite liquors, and crazy monkey & Beastie Boys do just that! Here's the lyrics for that hit song, and more!

Brass Monkey by Beastie Boys

CHORUS:

Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey!
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey!

Got this dance that's more than real
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel
Put your left leg down - your right leg up
Tilt your head back - let's finish the cup
M.C.A. with the bottle - D. rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet - we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us!
Adrock drinks three - Mike D. is D.
Double R. foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a Castle in Brooklyn - that's where I dwell!

Repeat CHORUS

Cause I drink it anytime - and anyplace
When it's time to get ill - I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, 'Yo baby, what's up?'
I offered her a sip the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip!

Repeat CHORUS

Step up to the bar - put the girl down
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar , I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, def - girls, girls - all y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record I got my advance
I drink it, I think it, I see it, I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it.
We got the bottle - you got the cup,
Come on everybody let's get ffffff...........

Repeat CHORUS
