Life has seemed unrelentingly grim lately, and I've spent many hours watching Law & Order reruns on cable (What a great show!).
During the reruns on the USA Network, there has been a Sears ad for back-to-school dorm room furnishings that features people getting up & ready for school, set to a tune about "how I wish I were a monkey, swinging on a vine....I wish I were a Monkey living in a tree", etc. It makes me squeal with delight.
Does anyone know who sings this delightful Monkey-centric song and what it is titled? If I could listen to this song a few hundred times a day, I know life would be brighter!
Kinda replying to the title, sorry not really answering the question, but I wish I had a monkey, they're some of my favorite animals.
End threadjack.
I've never heard of the song, I was going to send you a crate of bananas.

And that is indeed part of it, Wicked & Betty: I LOVE Monkeys! I go see the Monkeys at the Lincoln Park Zoo whenever I'm down and even have a "Monkey of the Week" picture posted in my office.
My monkey needs to be spanked
Imagine if we were monkeys, you know what our first line of defense would be when attacked...
bitter, cutting remarks about idina?
no, RobbO, that's a GAY's first line of defense.
**thinks straight**
bad hair, wardrobe and design sense?
Nice. But that's still not what I meant.
Doesn't anyone know what a monkey does? Come on now...imagine doing it when cornered by a burglar in a dark alleyway...I think it'd scare any would-be assailant off in a heartbeat.
Flings POO!

On Animal Planet, they did a show about especially disgusting animal defenses and showed a species of Monkey that would pee on it's predators. The Monkeys would be sitting in a tree eating and scratching, looking unconcerend. The Leopard would creep up underneath the monkey, getting into position for a strike. Then, just as the leopard got ready to spring....WHEE! Monkey pee would stream down right on the leopards head. The Leopard would slink away looking disgusted and embarrassed and the other leopards would LAUGH!
LOL! Joe, that's hysterical. But I was thinking of what Diva mentioned.
Can you even imagine the look of horror on a burglar if you walked down the stairs, caught him with the silverware, dropped your drawers and started flinging poop at him?

Not me. I'm poo-shy. I can't even do it in a public bathroom.
Well then, what is it?
I thought monkeys flinged poo when angry...?
They do! It's funny. I've seen it. They also do it because they think it's funny.
There's also a species of monkey that greets its fellow monkey by showing it his "special parts."
Hell, I do that with my neighbors all the time......
Jason Bateman hosted SNL this past season and he played the host of a talk show called "Monkeys throwing poo at celebrities". It was quite funny. The monkey threw poo at Darrel Hammond as Sean Connery, lol.

I saw that sketch and figured it had to be a new show on FX- "Monkeys Flinging Poo at Celebrities."
If it catches on we'll see
"Monkeys Tossing Crap on Gay Celebrities" On Bravo
"Monkeys Tossing Salads with Emeril" on Food TV
"How much Monkey Sh*t can you catch with your face?" on Spike.
"Monkeys Throw Poop at Hilary Clinton" on Fox
"Trading Spaces- redorated by poo-slinging Monkeys!" on TLC
"Monkensheit! Tales of the Poo-flinging Nazi Monkey Soldiers" on A&E
"Real World Monkey House" on MTV
"Law & Order: MFP" on NBC
But enough Monekyshines! Doesn't anyone know about this song?

So no one knows what artist/song this is? I may cry-- a very un-monkeylike thing to do!
i can't even do it in a public bathroom.
shocked, shocked, i tell you!
I did a little googling for you Joe. Apparently it's by a guy named Ralph Covert who writes songs for children. It's called Just Like the Monkeys. Here's the link to his website which has the lyrics posted.

Joe,
My company edits commercials and Sears is one of our clients. Let me see if we did that spot and maybe I can find out who it is.
I just saw it last night...fabu.
*Edit* looks like yoda gave you the answer!
