We're at it again (holiday writing challenge)

What would the holiday season be without a Forum Monkeys holiday song?
 
Drab. Roight?
 
Well all you can be undrabbed.
 
Monkeyful World
 
This is a mash-up of the Louis Armstrong classic 'It's a Wonderful World' and Radiohead's 'No Surprises'

    You guys did a furry good job there!
     
    An interesting genre mashup though I always thought monkeys preferred swing...
     
    I give it two bananas.

    Like the chorus and vocorder sound.  It was sad and insightful - especially with the melotron backing.
    I feel bad for those poor little poo filled monkeys.  :(
    I hope they break out and run for freedom!
     
    Freedom for the monkeys!
     
    Thanks for thinking of them.

    Just monkeying around are you. Kind of a monkey business sound to this one. Makes me want to have a banana and a cup of coffee. Cool song for monkeying around with.

    It was interesting, but the theme has been done so many times by so many artists? No one can ever top the originals, Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz and Mike Nesmith (who's mother invented white out) George of the jungle was a close second.
