"Accordion" a Hook original for MonkeyFest

[Hook]

This came very fast yesterday. I had about 30min. while waiting for my kid at dance class and this came out. LITLR on the 008 in the car.

Accordion

written & performed by Hook

I think about all the monkeys throughout all the years
that of had to learn to play
accordion
with the stupid hat & the silly grin
Accordion accordion

I wonder if they hold that against us perhaps they seek revenge
and want to put the hat  
upon the head of a human
Accordion accordion

No it's not peoples proudest moments
The way we used the chimpanzee
Good for a gag
 I'm sure they don't mind a bit
How can you not laugh at that face
How can we not blast them to space

Accordion accordion

I wonder if they hold that against us perhaps they seek revenge
And want to put the helmut on the head of the humans

You have hit a rich vein with this Monkey thing brother. Deep and meaningful lyrics, very nicely recorded (in the car) - I don't know how you find the space, I have enough problems just drinking a coffee in a car :-)

Hook, you're a talent. Amazing to pull this off in 30 minutes!

Your uke playing is pretty immpressive..you've got a firm grip on that little instrument and you play it really well in this song.

A Funny-not-so-funny song. Very sad and gives one pause to reflect on how mankind has used animals for his amusement. And testing. Gnasty's vid brought back that memory as well. Then there are the medical experiments. I'm sure that some good has come from them, but at a horrifying and tortuous cost for thousands of primates in labs around the world. Your song brings all that to mind.

Great job on this tune to evoke all that. Since you obviously think and care about such things, i will drop a link here as i can't post this tune as it's not mine...but it was done by friends of mine on a BR1180 and is probably the most powerful "monkey song" i have ever heard.
