Monkey See Monkey Do

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

This is a song Keith came up with originally and sent it over to me to add to it.
I did another version with different drums, which I might include later if I can.
Thanks.


 Monkey See, Monkey Do

Hey, Ya got someone a lookin' over your shoulder
A watchin' everything you do
Waiting...agitating
To make a slip that's down on you

Monkey see and monkey do
Monkey me and monkey you
Monkey see and monkey do
Monkey see and monkey do

Don't wanna hear any more complaints
More harm than good you'll ever do
Waiting...agitating
Gotta be a killer to be cruel

I know you, you'd rather wait and see
If it's better for you than me...what we call humanity
(Monkey ...see... Monkey ...do...)

(INST BREAK)
Monkey see and monkey do...

Oh I need to think for myself
I need to think for myself
Why don't you think for yourself?

Monkey see and monkey zoo...

I have no idea what this is, but it is delightful. If the Monkees were more nihilistic, they could all wear black turtlenecks, and this could have been their theme song.

Very cool solo section, and the choices of tones throughout were super apt. Just a great post.

As always, Darren incredible production techniques. The use of those synths like that is awesome and the overall instrumentation is phenomenal. Also that vocal work from Keith is so bloody good and professional sounding, the icing on the cake of another great track from you guys.

[StephenM]

I knew this would be great just from seeing the title and who the originator was.

bril...totally cool... and this rocks and howls... it has that vibe... the cool one... the mesmo vibe...

this is a drug.. it is a narcotic.  this will repeal symptoms.  why don't you think for yourself? 
monkee see....monkee do...

I agree the synths are spec...
the who thing is really amazing... I can't even get enough words to describe how great this is.

Very cool! My first thought was "Prince" but that evolved into "Pink-Floyd"-ish. Tones and riffs A-1 pro. Love it!

You can't beat a monkey song first thing in the morning ...love that exploding lead ....great vocal...great production ....another beauty Darren

[Farrell Jackson]

Excellent songwriting and production! Great vocals by Keith. I hear all kinds of influences in here like The Beatles, Steely Dan, and Pink Floyd but it definitely has the Darren and Keith signature sound. Cool guitars and synths...a winner!

[Geir]

Oh this is really good!

I hear all the influences mentioned, but this is a beast all on its own premises.

Stellar production and great solo

And how can I not like a monkey song 

[chapperz66]

Blimey this is good.  Great song with superb instrumentation - that guitar solo is a thing of beauty.  Marvellous stuff.
