"DEADMONKEY" - A salute to the Darwin Awards

Are you are bothered by publicly rude cellphone talkers, texting drivers, unnecessary pop stars and political charlatans? Then perhaps you can take solace in the fact that there is an honor awarded to seriously stupid people who kill themselves in stupid ways, making the world a better place for the rest of us.

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
