I enjoyed it and what's not to like about the theme and lyrics??? I dig the vocals particularly and/but found it harder to hear them in the chorus. During the verses, no prob. Cool adds for the bgvs, good choices there.
It's catchy, too.

Like the tune. Like the musicianship. Didn't care for the mix. I'd like to rip all the EQ out of it and let everything breathe. Everything sounds so tiny and constricted to me. But it's a good song, and that's the most important thing. You'll never satisfy everybody on the mix.

As per usual there's a catchy melody, clever lyrics, and a bright clear mix. Sounds like big monkey business to me...

Sorry I'm late. This is a terrific song, the kind that plays in your head after it's over. The writing and performances are top notch! Maybe, it's just me after a long day, but it seems to have a lot of treble overall. Otherwise, brilliant. It sounds like it could be the story of any number of people I know :)

Late to the party as well.
The F Monkey's are always top notch. Who ever that Bass player is...he can hold his own.
