Does Anyone Have a Monkey I Can Borrow?

All the great bands have a song with "monkey" in the title . . . Monkey Man, Shock the Monkey, Monkey Gone to Heaven, Brass Monkey (and there are plenty more, check this list out) so why not Slouching Beast?

I'd like to shoot a music video for this song . . . does anyone have a pet monkey they can lend me? Preferably one that doesn't jump on your head and bite your ears.



Monkey in Your Mind

There's a monkey in your mind.
When the world becomes unkind,
there's a monkey in your mind.

Fling your feces
at the wall,
when the starlight
has you feeling small.

Clench your tiny fist, clench your tiny fist,
clench your tiny fist, clench your tiny fist.

There's a monkey in your man.
See the way he makes his little plan?
There's a monkey in your man.

He will leave you
in your time of need.
Scurry out the door,
retreat to the trees.

  1. From shlara's comment in last post....that must have involved a hospital visit and stomach pump followed by a come-to-jesus pow wow with the parents. Am I close?

  2. Very close Danimal
    Winter formal, consumed nearly a fifth of vodka trying o keep up with a Lambo twice my size. I lost that competition because I ended up in the hospital--charcoal then the cops driving me home. And an $700 ER bill prompted a really awkward call with my parents, plus an uncomfortable meeting with the dean of students.

    Stupidest thing I've ever done

  3. you should be proud. what you describe as the stupidest thing you've ever done was just a normal "Friday" for a few of our GTB brethren.

  5. Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

    Leaving Boston on train now. It was cold as balls today - morning temps in the teens with a nice bone-chilling breeze.

    This winter won't stop sucking.

  6. Temps in the 80s here in Florida, TR. I'll probably walk down to the beach later this afternoon.

    My bad/stupid college stories don't involve any hospital trips but there were quite a few run ins with the law.

  8. Second paragraph of this link is amusing if you're immature like me. It's SFW unless you're in a very uptight work environment.

  15. Love that Social D tune! Danimal I'll be joining you with am beers, skipping the 15k and heading down the pub with 10 or so mates to watch Ireland v Wales in a colossal 6N tilt in Cardiff. Huuuuge game fer Da Green who are 3-0 with only the Scots to follow. Wales lost to England in the opener but have come back strong. Epic tourney leading into RWC in Sept.

    Holy Moly Shlara..

  16. Frenchman St. I'm jealous. Hung out there all night my last New Orleans trip.

    Still trying to fully wrap my head around fried chicken poutine. Not in a bad way. In a "holy shit that sounds amazing how come I've never thought of that?" way.

  17. Frenchman St was a big part of the Saturday night of my bachelor party. Great place to start the night. Random awesome bands. There was a guy selling nitrous on the street at the time. Hippie crack.

  18. I'm sure I've mentioned this before but whatever. There was a store during my time in Gainesville that sold nitrous and was open 24 hrs. During my first two years they'd deliver it to your house.

  20. Some of you won't believe this but cigarette smoke irritates the daylights out of my eyes and throat. Living in a casino is awful.
