I think I'm so sophisticated 'cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien But all around me everybody's multiplying Till they're walking round like flies man So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages In the zoo man 'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an ape man I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cos I'm a strict vegetarian But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians I don't feel safe in this world no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man Oh, I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm ape ape man 'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky Compared to the clouds as they roll by Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an ape man In man's evolution he has created the cities and The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle 'cos the only time that I feel at ease Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man Oh I'm an ape man I look out the window, but I can't see the sky 'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an ape man Come and love me, be my ape man girl And we will be so happy in my ape man world I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man Oh I'm an ape man I'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day Just like an ape man I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man Oh I'm an ape man. I don't feel safe in this world no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore And make like an ape man.

Yo, this guy Paul T. Geist (clever name but that and a buck can still only get you a cup of coffee) guy is whacking the Aurora on his blog:

Apparently he is better than you...afraid to admit that he is a troll, he has cleverly disguised himself as some sort of ghostly reaper...pretty funny huh?
.
As long as he spells the name right.
I know I'm not supposed to reference MJ here but I left a nice comment over there because I had that song "So You Wanna be Starting Something" playing in my head. He took umbrage to the knockers, hot dog, and fart references of the last few days. Some people wouldn't know class if it let one their face.
Apeman-one of my favorite Kinks songs on one of my favorite Kinks albums! I saw them twice in concert in the Eighties and shook Ray Davies hand when he did his trademark jump in the audience bit. I still haven't washed it!
Again I say....I saw the Kinks at Jones Beach... um. ok thats it.
WITH AMY MANN! THE CHICK FROM TIL TUESDAY! VOICES CARRY!
Donkeyhue: You are The Apeman, but I am The Walrus:
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
;)
Walrus?
What every good apeman really needs is a WalMart...so he can stockpile his tropical paradise with cheap and affordable Chinese knick knacks.
