I submit as my inaugural post, this friendly yet shredding primate, Eddie Van Monkey.

Posted by: yhbc on July 28, 2002 08:34 PMChimpy Page? Nice one. How about Eric Chimpton? It kinda looks like his strat "Blackie".

Posted by: jpoulos on July 28, 2002 09:26 PMA big welcome, Kevin! It may be the hunger speaking - I haven't had my breakfast yet - but that table and those chairs in the background would suggest he's probably singing for his supper. Irving Berlin's "Suppertime" comes to mind. Or, if he's a silly monkey, the Gershwins' "Summertime" with a convenient consonant change.

Show me the F Bobo! Show me!
Posted by: kafkaesque on July 29, 2002 02:39 AMWell, I was searching for monkeys' duelling banjos, in the Deliverance/Cajun panties/ColdChef Presents "My Lousiana" style, when I came across its polar opposite: the electronic music of Infinite Monkeys. There's a track ("Monkey Test") where you can clearly sing along with the words "Monkey monkey", in a twisted karaoke fashion. The other tracks aren't at all bad, either.
Posted by: Miguel on July 29, 2002 04:21 AMBut what's he playing? I think it's an old Neil Young song:
I wanna live
with a simian girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a simian girl.
Doo Doo Doo, Da Da Da
It's all I want to fling at you.....

The Russian judges give Eeksy-Peeksy a 9.5 for the half-gainer, double-somersault, Curious George Hairyson pun.
*more wild applause*
Posted by: KevinSkomsvold on July 29, 2002 05:48 PMI can't believe no one's suggested that Lipps Inc. disco classic...
"Won't you take me to
MonkeyTowwwwn!"
Or that Silver Convention disco classic(esp popular in Oz)..."Fly, Monkey, Fly"
Posted by: jonmc on July 29, 2002 09:28 PM....The Russian judges were observed conferencing in a room offstage due to perceived judging irregularities. Spokesman Lance Link will hold a press conference later this evening....
Posted by: KevinSkomsvold on July 29, 2002 10:47 PMI'm not sure WHO he is, but I'm pretty sure I saw him playing with Barbara Mandrill.

A note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
here. Thanks.
