Random Quote
(Complete listing)A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.
[Albert Einstein, "Religion and Science", New York Times Magazine, 9 November 1930]

Excellent! I caught the Flying Spaghetti Monster at the end, too bad they didn't use my model. Loved it regardless.

They even had monkey pirates. Rock on!

Is that a new New York Dolls song?
It actualy doesn't suck! Can't say that for the stones past 20 years.

Sweeeeet.
Earwormed for the night.
Posted by: Jan Andrea | July 23, 2006 12:15 AM
That was AWESOME! I gotta get that on my iPod. The Spaghetti Monster was actually in there 2 or 3 times, not just at the end. ;)

It had a mammoth swimming for the arc! I like it.
Posted by: John McKay | July 23, 2006 12:46 AM
That's really well done.

Is that Pat Robertson getting married to a gorilla at the end?

Holy crap! I'm out of the loop for a month and the New York Dolls have a new album! All the "i'm old" feelings from having a baby are melting away...

I went looking for a better version of the video, and found a 16MB quicktime, here:

Shake your monkey hips!

If you go to the New York Dolls page on roadrunner records:
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/NewYorkDolls/
you can get the video in several sizes/formats, plus you can snag an mp3 of the song. There's also another song from the album, "Take a good look at my good looks" (only as streaming windows media, though). The album is in stores Tuesday July 25.

Hi! I linked from Daily Kos. Thanks for the video! I'll pass the link around.
I think songs on this topic should get more exposure, so with that in mind, if you liked this video, you might also enjoy "We Come From Monkeys" by Emerald Rose.

Keep on Monkey dancin!

wow
so it's the NY Dolls doing the Gorillaz on many levels:
animated personae
wacky video
groovy tune
title of song, sort of
it works! i didn't think they could do it without Johnny THunders, RIP, but they did. fantastic.
another cool one on our side--i guess they still have...stryper? amy grant? DC talk?.
my fave moment: a tie between the astronaut moonwalking and the monkey pope marrying pat robertson to the gorilla that has just raped him. genius.

Totally Brilliant
Is that a "tree full of Howler Monkeys" Cheney is shoting at?
