Random Quote

The minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and make its tool of them.

Oooh, I adore Invader Zim.

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.

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.

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.
