She's A Monkey <------- Soundcloud Link

Lyrics:


Well she's all you'd ever want 
She swings high up in trees and eats bananas 
Well she's never in the zoo 
She's got style, she flings poo, in the Savannah 
She's a Monkey. Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Monkey 
Talkin' about that little monkey, and the monkey is mine.


Well she's never in the way 
Flinging poo every day, Oh what a blessing. 
I can't leave her on her own 
She's never home alone, or I'd be stressing 
She's a Monkey. Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Monkey 
Talkin' about that little monkey, and the monkey is mine


Bridge:
Well she never wants for very much and I don't refuse her 
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her 
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't want to lose her 
Don't want to explain her to the A.S.P.C.A. Hey, hey


Well she knows what I'm about 
She just eats what I dish out, and that's not easy 
Well she knows me through and through 
And She knows just what to do, and how to please me 
She's a Monkey. Whoa whoa whoa, She's a Monkey

Ook ook.

the jaw harp is a bit chunky

That's not a jaw harp. Think lower. Think... more wrinkles.

lol, Bub. If you put some beds together I'll giver a go. 

If you had asked me 15 years ago if I thought I'd be singing country versions of Tom Jones songs with a simian theme all through the intertubes the quizzical stares could have cut glass.

Cheers, dude. :-)

This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!!!! Mix, master, vocals, everything is awesome guys! Beepster ... you were born to sing Convoy ... it must be done. I can hear Karyn doing the backups ... It was meant to be ... I can just hear you sayin', "Well we shot the line we went for broke with a thousand screamin' trucks and eleven long haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse micro bus."

LOL!!! Dude, I was listening to this and didn't read the comments yet....and I'm thinking, ole Beepster could be singin "this here's the rubber duck and I'm about to put the hammer down 10-4!" Hahahahahaha!
 
Loved this guys....totally funny but so well done. Everything about it was awesome! :)
 
Beeps...you found your calling. Convoy singer by day, merciless shredder by night! :) I know the feeling in regards to "if you asked me 15 years ago". I just did a (get this) rap segment for a client for a commercial. I've been an Ebonics major since 11th grade and he couldn't find anyone else to do it, so I showed him what I could do and he and his wife lost it and hired me. I'm the "legal disclaimer guy" that decides the legal disclaimer isn't written correctly while reading the script. LOL! I start out all good and get to a certain point in the script that doesn't sit well for me and go all gangster on him. Hahahahaha! Anyway, great job on this to you and everyone else that took part. I really enjoyed this.

LMAO  

Well Done Guys!!!

Come on Rubber Duck,  Git-R-Done  

You just blew the doors off of the duck!  Nice one Beep...too funny.

Ha, ha.  I was expecting The Beatles' song, "She's A Wombat".  Great job guys and gals.  Glad to hear a Jaw harp in there, too.  

Thanks Jan - they're very difficult to tune you know

;-)

Cheers guys. I'll start working on it when I get into my new space. I've been tossing around the idea of putting together an album's worth of country covers to amuse my mom. Convoy would fit nicely into that.

BTW I think it was my cover of Johnny Cash of Don't Take Your Guns to Town that prompted the Monkeys to invite me on this track. If you missed it here's the thread...

Glad you guys liked this. It was fun.

Another funny song guys.  The mix lacks a little punch and top end for my likeing but the playing is awsome.

Nice job though , Peace Ben

I like muhnkays

It's fun and a good chance to play with all our fancy goodies. For me personally it's helped get my production time down. The first thing I did for bapu was only some back ups and it took me forever. This one I had in the bag the night after he sent me the tracks and the first night/next day was mostly spent re-working the words and practicing. I would like another crack at it though but I don't have time right now.

Besides... who doesn't love monkeys... except perhaps Daryl. I mean he never even talks about monkeys. It just ain't right.

This was a barrel of fun guys.  It sounds like the monkey might be the gorill-of your dreams (sorry -- that was just 2/3 of a pun --PU).  It all sounded good to me (playing, mix, vocals, lyrics and oh ya, the jaw harp).  Best yet -- it was pure humourous entertaining music.
 
 

Awesome! LOL
