That was simply an excellent monkey song, most definitely primate approved. I don't think there's much (if anything) you could do to improve it. Edit: and... we all got to see Bapu's bottom. What a day.

philz Indeed, why can't we live in a perfect world where all songs would be produced as well as this was? Actually, great work all the way around and a big well done to all.
Thanks Phil.

Absoflippinlutely brilliant!!! What a great sentiment to this song and what a performance/production. Melodically this number gave me a hint of an often maligned composer that produced some terrific songs. To me this has a hint of a McCartney song. Please take that as a big 'ol complement!!! I have often heard about Bapu's bottom on this forum but have never heard it quite in this way. Excellent playing!

emeraldsoul Lots of strengths, guys! Vocals are I think perfectly mixed, just a touch of bgv! I'd bring the kids in earlier somehow, they are great! Unless that's Bapu melodyned into a chipmunk. The thing that caught my ear the most, though, was the drums. Your snare sounds kind of like a tom, but whatever you did with the drums, they sound like real drums in a real room. Very very good! -Tom p.s. give the Bapu some! Bass solo time! 12 bars at least . . .
I agree the kids should come in earlier. Also, the cha-ching riff for the guitar might sound better with some voice leading instead of the typical block chords on the high strings. You guys definitely have a good style. :D:D:D

Lynn I haven't been able to hang out here, lately, but I'm glad I dropped in for this song. This is one of my favorites from the FM. You guys keep raising the bar. Songwriting, vocals, production are spot on. You're a tough act to follow.
Thanks Lynn we really appreciate it mate. We are definitely difficult to follow - especially downwind of us - peww :)

Mesh Apart from the very nice bottom end, Daryl is an excellent songwriter (musician/lyricist) and this tune is a great example of that!! (The other monkey's in here were just supporting cast that complimented this fine work). That's the facts Jack!!
Yes, Daryl is immensely talented.
Now I'm embarrassed. Whatever Mesh and Bapu said, we are a band and what you hear is the sum of those parts. Thanks for the big compliment though mate. You're not so shabby yourself.
