You know, when people put a Peter Gabriel song on rage, it is usually sledgehammer. I think that's a real shame. More people should be shocking that monkey, baby. The best song of 1982 (that I know of), and maybe any year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo Sign up for my newsletter to get this stuff straight to you: http://www.jdfmccann.com/mailing-list Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFMcCann/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jdfmccann/ Website: http://www.jdfmccann.com/ Lyrics: Cover me when I run Cover me through the fire Something knocked me out ' the trees Now I'm on my knees Cover me, darling please Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey Fox the fox Rat on the rat You can ape the ape I know about that There is one thing you must be sure of I can't take any more Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey Monkey, monkey, monkey Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey Shock the monkey Monkey, Wheels keep turning Monkey, Something's burning Monkey, Don't like it but I guess I'm learning Shock!
