I'm with Horses - 40 is certifiable! But the top 5 sound great and 1 and 3 would be in my top 5 too. I've not racked my brains too hard but I'm fond of these primate tunes: Clinic: Monkey On My Back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaC1U3LOI-o Pixies: Monkey Gone To Heaven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yHrEykOGpo Dave Bartholemew: The Monkey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNjuxtjtuWg Rufus Thomas: Can Your Monkey Do The Dog? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gywtl5gVAZg |

Here you go Milchy - just over 50 tracks on Spotify including a couple from your omissions thread: http://open.spotify.com/user/tomb242/pl ... Zc4VGk1kBx As I have been suffering from insomnia of late I reckon I will make a start on a Classic A Day next! |
