Musical Monkey


Okay, here's a song I found by Guttermouth off from their Musical Monkey album. It's called, ironically, Musical Monkey:

i've got a fanzine
so i should know
everything about every band
i turned punk 2 years ago
i tell my subjects
i'm d.i.y.
i'll call your band a sellout
& i'll tell convienient lies
i've got a lot of staples
and to much...
time to trash a band
they fucking blow
since i wasn't on the list
i didn't make the show oh well
no major labels
they really suck
except for bad religion
can't get their sticker off my truck
got my own agenda
i write the rules
i'll use my moms cash
nobody knows
you calling me a liar
yea my story has some holes
start a label
rip off the bands
liberate the punk scene
part of my master plan
if it's in my zine
it must be true
who told you i'm always crying
just because i'm getting sued
that guys an asshole
that bands on ludes
i guess my little fanzine
is like the weekly world news
Okay, first there is no monkey in the band or in this song. Oh, I know they are trying to allude to being treated like performing monkeys (which I find offensive).

But they are only human after all.

I know we have had our differences in the past but I am horrified to find myself agreeing with you on this one. For a band to attempt to profit from the suffering and degradation of monkeys in such a crass manner is almost mildly objectionable.

Thanks. That's very Simian of you. I was very shocked (and you know how we monkeys feel about being shocked).
