SHOCK THE MONKEY!

[delirium_3000]

Last.fm thinks my most played song is "Shock the Monkey". It's perhaps appropriate, since it seems like all Norwegian students born in 1988 has had weird experimental things done to their education. And I guess most people can guess the general theme of the song. For the dim-witted, here's the lyrics:


Shock the Monkey
- Peter Gabriel

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 gonna 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 gonna shock the monkey

(Monkey) Wheels keep turning
(Monkey) Something's burning
(Monkey) Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey
Monkey
Monkey
Don't you know you're gonna shock the monkey

(Monkey) Too much at stake
(Monkey) Ground beneath me shake
(Monkey) And the news is breaking

Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey

Shock the monkey (shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey (shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey (shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey (shock the monkey!)
Shock the monkey to life!
