MOFI CROSSOVER
"This is the thread where we change the word 'money' in a song lyric to 'monkey'"
I've often thought that ILXors and MOFIers had too much in common to remain separate; this looks like the right post to cross pollinate.
EXPLORE!
Your love gave me such a thrill, but your love can't pay my bills, I need monkey. That's what I want.
I want monkey, lots and lots of monkey!
♫MONKAAAYY . . . it's a hit . . . don't give me that do-goody-good buuuullshit . . .♫

And in another thread "forksclovetofu" was changed to "pigfucker."
I give it the old college try.

Stay around in my old hometown,
I don't wanna put no monkey down...
Easy monkey for just one run to Peru.
It’ll be so easy. we’ll have no trouble gettin’ through.

She’s got her daddy’s monkey
Her mama’s good looks

I'm your private dancer
A dancer for monkey
I'll do what you want me to do

A dancer for monkey
And any old music will do
Tuna Turner
That should be, "Monkey for nothing and your chimps for free..."
The of course there's...
"Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and monkeys
The shit has hit the fan"
I need Monkey, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the Monkey
But now I learned to earn cos I'm righteous
But if you could give 'em each one wish
How much do you wanna bet?
They'd wish success for themselves and their friends and
that would include lots of monkey
You have got to have shitloads of m-o-n-k-e-y, monkey.
God, fear and monkeys make this world go 'round.
Yes you do.
God, fear and monk-ays.
Ain't it funny how the monkey makes the honey tastes like nothing you can´t have no more?
Shake your monkey-maker!!
Shake your monkey maker!!
What's the colour of monkey, what's the colour of monkey?
Don't tell me that you think it's green, me I know it's brown.
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Peeling bananas like a chimpanzee
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Monkey for nothin' and your chimps for free
Oops, I didn't notice Flagpole's post.
Damnit, Sullivan, I was hot on the pigfucker meme.
alright, then.
I been laid off from work my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So I went to the bank to see what they could do
They said: son look like bad luck got a hold on you
(eh... oh man)
Monkey's too tight to mention... cutback
Oh, monkey, monkey, monkey...
Monkey's all broke
And food's goin' hungry,
If it wasn't for disappointment
I wouldn't have any appointments
Ok, I have to get this out of my system (with many applogies)
I work all night, I work all day to ply the organ grinder's way...
Ain't it sad?
And still there never seems to be a single penny tos'd to me.
That's too bad!
In my dreams, I have a plan,
If I could get me a simian.
I wouldn't have to fuss at all
He'd play around; I'd have a ball!
(do do do do do do do do)
[chorus]
Monkey, monkey, monkey!
Must be funky,
In a rich man's world.
Monkey, monkey, monkey!
Always spunky,
In a rich mans' world.
Oo ooooo, oo, oo, oo, oook
All the things I would do,
If I had a little monkey,
It's a rich man's world!
An ape like that is hard to find, but I can't get him off my mind.
Ain't it sad?
And if he happend to be free I'd be he'd stay up in the trees.
That's too bad!
So I must leave; I have to go,
To Las Vegas or Monaco
Yeah life's too tough for organ grinders; time to train for taming tigers...
[chorus, repeat till fade]
You never give me your monkey
You only give me your funny paper
Don't get me wrong
Try gettin' me right
Your face is ok
But your purse is too tight
I'm lookin' for baboons, marmosets, chimpanzees, anything
Gimme some monkey!
Monkey makes the world go around
That screeching hooting sound!
It makes the world go round!
I come home one Friday,
Had to tell the landlady I'd lost my job
She said, "That don't confront me,
Long as I get my monkey next Friday."
Now next Friday come, I didn't get the rent,
And out the door I went.
Let me ask you one question
Is your monkey that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
Masters of War -- Bob Dylan
Sittin' here thinkin'
Where does the monkey go
Sittin' here thinkin'
Where does the monkey go
Well, I give it to my woman
She ain't got it no more
Monkey Blues -- Bob Dylan
Up in the Rocky Mountains in a town called Cripple Creek,
There was an all-night poker game, lasted about a week.
Nine hundred miners had laid their monkey down,
When Willie finally left the room, he owned the whole damn town
Rambling, Gambling Willie -- Bob Dylan
Everything went from bad to worse,
monkey never changed a thing,
Death kept followin', trackin' us down,
at least I heard your bluebird sing.
Up to Me -- Bob Dylan
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I got no monkey in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it won't get to me
now that's one sad song
If you wanna go and get high wit me
smoke an L in the back of the benzie
oh why must i feel this way
(hey, must be the monkey)
Damn you, Dreadnought. That's the first one that sprang to mind.
We currently have a bulletin on myspace doing the same thing, except it's with movie titles, and substituting 'vagina' for any word (instead of 'monkey.')
It's turning up some interesting results. ::: cocking an eyebrow :::
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the monkey honey, we got your disease
-- guns n roses, welcome to the jungle
Everybody look at me
I'm pimp-ass monkey
I know you wish to get with this tonight
-- zebrahead, i'm monkey (money)
Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't
Do I have to come right
Flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some monkey
Gimme sone monkey
I'm nobody's fool
I'm nobody's clown
I'm treating you cool
I'm putting you down
But baby I don't intend to leave empty handed
Gimme some monkey
Gimme some monkey
Don't get me wrong
Try getting me right
Your face is ok but your purse is too tight
I'm looking for pound notes
Loose change
Bad checks, anything
Gimme some monkey
Gimme some monkey
--Spinal Tap
Whoa, take the monkey and run...
jeff: We used to play a movie game where you substitute the word "penguin" for a word in a Clint Eastwood movie (acted or directed). Results? "The Good, the Bad and the Penguin" or "Mystic Penguin."
i don't know what
they want from me, it's like
the more monkey we come across
the more problems we see
Million dollar penguin?
Million penguin baby?
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned our monkey's always spent
Penguin Dollar Baby?
