Q: Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey!?

A: I really wanted to post an mp3 of "Tiny Bubbles" in tribute to Don Ho, but it turns out that I don't own any Don Ho albums. I did, however, find this inexplicable cover of Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey":

Don Ho
"Shock the Monkey"
When Pigs Fly, 2002

When Pigs Fly is an extremely bizarre and yet strangely listenable covers album. It opens with Ani DeFranco and Jackie Chan covering Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable."

And just because why the hell not, here's Gabriel's "popular and somewhat disturbing" "Monkey" video:



I always thought he was saying "shock the monkey tonight!" It turns out it's "shock the monkey to life!" As in, "WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DEFIBRILLATE THIS MONKEY STAT!!!"

Like the video, this'd make more sense if either of us were high.

P.S.: I checked elbo.ws, and it turns out Idolator has "Tiny Bubbles." They also beat me to the punch on "Shock the Monkey." Damn you, Denton.
