đŸŽ¶ (A bit of monkeying around)

Monkeying around

From far down a thread about a truck accident involving monkeys and a few escapees...
Here's one I've not heard in a long while from the Kinks (lyrics on screen):

Ape Man

Of course the topic of monkeys/Monkees comes up from time to time.
I'm partial to the smaller of the species too (via the Rolling Stones):

Monkey Man

And lastly, in this barrel of monkey fun.... another great one, from The Traveling Wilburys:

Tweeter and The Monkey Man
