Let's monkey around. What do you think of these songs that mention "Monkey"?

Um, this IS a test then, yeah?

You HINT soooo stealthily in leading off

w/ Bobby, the great vocal in the very song

which is not mentioned here to my abject

amazement.

You know it well--from my 2nd (only to the Stones!)

and your fave band--yup, off their LZ III...track 10.

HATS OFF TO ROY HARPER!!!!

...sho'nuff won't make no monkey outta me!!!

Monkey Man by da Stonz has alwezz been

a particular pet of mine with that gorgeous piano

by none other than Sixth Stone Ian Stewart

who not only graced the keys on Zeppelin's

studio take of Rock And Roll **AND**

is the namesake of Zep's Physical Graffiti

piece, "Boogie With Stu".

Overjoyed to see Chuck's version listed!!!!

Great list of songs Mike, not a bad one among them.

Monkey Man, Monkey Wrench, and Brass Monkey are the only ones I know and their all awesome. Especially Monkey Wrench. Foo Fighters are awesome.

At first I didn't see 'Brass Monkey' up there, and I was astonished. But then I noticed it, haha.

All good songs, not much of a fan of Skid Row though, but good choices nonetheless!

BQ- A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You, Pleasant Valley Sunday, and of course I'm a Believer.

RIP Davy Jones!

See you on Facebook...Big Fan....

All great Videos here..I was a bit surprised I didn't see Tweeter and the Monkey Man here,given the vastness of your Ten choices....
