This is the thread where we change the word 'money' in a song lyric to 'monkey'

You call me up, and then talk about monkeys!
You call me up and then talk about monkeys!

I don't want to hear any more about monkeys!

Monkey on the dresser
Drive a kompressor
Top notch hoes get the most not the lesser

We've done "monkey". Now change "money" to "mommy".

i get monkey
monkey i got
stunts call me honey and i feel real hot

"Payday's comin'
Clean monkey
Clean monkey"

damn, dirty monkey know how to treat the girls

On the monkey go round, the monkey go round,
You wanna get off but it won't slow down

Will you walk away
From a fool and his monkey?

^^^ still my favorite - this really paints a scene, this destitute street performer trying to win the eye of this girl.

"Monkey Is Not Our God"
"What Do You Do for Monkey, Honey?"
"Holy Monkey"
"Monkey is Flesh"

Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your monkey?

Free monkey! Free monkey! Free monkey! (repeat)

Put your monkey in the bank
it's the only way to save it

All I wanna do is
BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM
and a
CH-CHING
and take your monkey.

A dirty mean man with a shotgun in his hand
He said 'gimme your monkey please'
He said 'gimme your monkey please'
Wasn't that strange, wasn't that strange, indeed?
He said 'gimme your monkey please'

Tweeter and the money man
were hard up for cash

best thread ever

This money's gone to heaven

Gimme some Monkey! (go Nigel go!)

Little Judy's trying to watch "top of the pops"
But mum and dad are fighting don't they ever stop,
She take down her coat and walks out on the street,
It's cold on that road, but it's got that home beat,
Deep down in her pockets she finds 50p.,
Now is that any way for a young girl to be,
"I'm gonna get out of school work in some factory,
Work all the hours God gave me get myself a little easy monkey"
Now, now, now na na.

Monkey, it's a trip
don't give me none of that goodygoodygood bullshit

This money's gone to heaven!

He was adding the harmonies.

Gorilla Got me - The Kinks

He was adding the harmonies.

Harmonkeys surely?

Out of college, monkey's bent
See no future, pay no rent
All the monkeys gone, nowhere to go

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your money free?
Always giving into it
Do you love your money or do you love me?
Why can't you do it
Why do I have to share my baby with a'money?

Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my money.

*viceversalist post no.2*

You don't need a primate
Just to hang around
But if you've got a Mandrill,
won't you lay your monkey down?

I've got 90,000 chimps in my pajamas
I've got 40,000 vervets in my fridge
I've got lots of lovely lemurs
Now the gibbon's getting dearer
And my bonobos would buy the Brooklyn Bridge
There is nothing quite as wonderful as monkeys...

Bushbaby, bushbaby give me you hand
From July to the end of September...

She's so fine, there's no telling where the monkey went

(kind of want to do this thread all over but with "mummy")

When I was little - like 7 or 8, I guess - my mother used to listen to ABBA and I actually thought these WERE the lyrics. Or at least I thought it was, "All the things I could do, if I had a little monkey, in a rich man's world." All I could think was, "Why does she want a little monkey? How would that help?"

Rich men might pay to see the monkey do tricks or something... see also "fool and his monkey" above.

No romance without finance

Boy, nothin' in life is free
That's why I'm askin' you what can you do for me
I've got responsibilities
So I'm lookin' for a man who's got some monkey in his hands

Monkey in my pocket but I just can't get no love
(The love I have in mind is very very hard to find...)

Well they got an apartment with deep-pile carpets
And a couple of paintings from Sears
A big water bed that they bought with the bread
They had saved for a couple of years
They started to fight when the monkey got tight
And they just didn't count on the tears
