The song "DEADMONKEY" is funky R n' B salute to THE DARWIN AWARDS: a tongue-in-cheek honor that recognizes individuals who have contributed to human evolution by self-selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization, due to their own (unnecessarily foolish) actions.
The stories in the lyrics are based on true life accounts of Darwin Award "winners". Written by James Avatar
DEAD MONKEY
Salute to THE DARWIN AWARDS
Jazztronic/Hip hop - 90 BPM
HOOK
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, fight for banana
Boom Boom Dead Monkey
Boom Boom Dead Monkey
VERSE1:
once upon a time there was a monkey named JOE
tried to rob a bank three times in a ROW
tried once more to do the very same STUNT
didn't see the cop car parked in the FRONT
once upon a time there was a monkey named Kay, put a
bomb in a letter and mailed it AWAY
when it came back, he said “what’s that THANG?”
opened up the letter and the monkey went BANG
Chorus
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Tougher than leather
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Not 2 clever
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, cookie gonna crumble
You can see another one stumble in the jungle
BREAK
MONKEY: “Yo, I gots yo banana, baby
GIRL: “But you’s a DEAD MONKEY!”
MONKEY: “Yo, I gots yo banana, baby
GIRL: “But you’s a DEAD MONKEY!”
MONKEY:“Yo, I gots yo banana, baby
GIRL: “But you’s a DEAD MONKEY!” - Keep yo banana, yo Banana ain’t funky!”
VERSE 2:
once upon a time there was a monkey named LANCE
tried to steal a lobster, in his PANTS
Monkey in pain, monkey hit the floor
and now the monkey’s name is ELEANOR
once upon a time there was a monkey named HANK
tried to clean out his gasoline TANK
couldn't see a thing, too dark INSIDE
Lit a hot match and the monkey got FRIED
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Hustle for banana
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Fight for banana
Boom Boom Dead Monkey ready to rumble
In come another one, there goes the jungle
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Tougher than leather
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, Not 2 clever
Boom Boom Dead Monkey, cookie gonna crumble
You can see another one stumble in the jungle
Repeat HOOK TO end
