I am an avid music fan, but you may have noticed that there are very few monkeys in the charts (excluding the Monkees and now the Arctic Monkeys, but neither of these bands sported tails...) So for quite a time now I have
been recreating the bands and musical acts that I enjoy listening to. On this age I will give you a guide to some bands and singers that I think you should listen to in my very own Monkey reviews.
Björk is a magical fairy from Iceland. Although she looks like a normal sized person in her videos, I have met her in real life and she is really only 7 inches tall and has clothes made from Quality Street wrappers. When Björk sings it sounds like when you run your finger around a wine glass, or the mating call of the lesser-spotted pygmy shrew. Monkey Rating:
No-one knew how to strut their stuff on stage quite like Freddie Mercury, he was indeed a true Queen. His favourite accessories were a comedy moustache and anything that came in leather, though he also liked to wear his grandad's vest on stage quit a lot in a quest with Brian May to discover who could look the most ridiculous. Brian May's hair won it every time. Monkey Rating:
Gene Simmons is a very strange man. I head that he took make-up lessons from Barbara Cartland, as you can se he always goes a little overboard on the mascara. He may have the worlds longest tongue - no-one has yet been brave enough to get up close to measure it. Monkey Rating:
Jimi Hendrix had an afro, a guitar, and a strange cigarette with him at all times. His afro used to grow at a rate of 6 inches a month. When I met him his hair was so far-reaching that I got swallowed up by his 'fro and wasn't seen for 3 weeks. Monkey Rating:
This was during my days as the drummer for the Flaming Lips. The entire band adopted my pirate styling for the tour after they saw my pictures on this site! I may look very big in this photo, but in fact Wayne Coyne is very very small... Monkey Rating:
