10 Feb 2016: it's the Year of the Monkey!
« on: February 10, 2016, 07:55:29 AM »
Well, better late than never, I guess.  I'd say the Stones, Beatles and Pixies are locks. But there's definitely more than 10 "Monkey" songs, and that's not even including apes and gorillas.  Funny, I assumed she didn't do this Monday because she didn't want to do 2 Themes in a row.

This "SOB" song is one of the few KFOG discoveries I really like -- coincidentally, Nathaniel Ratlieff and Leon Bridges (another "new" artist I enjoy) were co-billed on Austin City Limits this weekend. It was a fine show.

There was a lengthy monkey song thread over in Snipeville yesterday (or was it Monday?). Guess she liked the idea -- I'll be curious to see what she comes up with that was mentioned there -- and wasn't.

I joked over there that maybe she watched the Warriors game last nite -- the NBA is making a HUUUGE deal out of Chinese New Year, including special jerseys, etc.

It sounds like ska that would precede either of those guys, but I've never heard it before.

Like maybe those guys who do "Book of Rules"?

Dylan/Wilburys, "Tweeter & the Monkey Man". Hadn't thought of this one.

It's Toots. She's played it a couple times before in whatever year it's from (late '60s?)

Yep, I looked it up. 1969.

You sure? Soundhound said it was the Specials. Toots did do the original, but that was the kind of song that those ska bands were all over in the late 70s.

You're right -- I see that she's played both versions at various times.
