The Lyrics
Mmm, I bet you're wonderin' where I've been
Since that doctor took me in
He said he and I'd make history
Between the two of us lies the key to mystery
He promised to cure my allegy
But had other plans for me
That's before I reverted to an ape mime
Just like Konga on a tree vine
Oh, I turned into an ape mime
For bananas I have learned to sign
Gimme gimme, oh yeah
(Turned into an ape mime
Learned "bananas give to me" sign)
Baby, whoo-ooh
I know an ape ain't supposed to bitch
But this fit I'm about to pitch
Cruisin' through the trees, no life for me
Cramps my personality
I could be pickin' up chicks
But I'm swingin' through the sticks
Since I reverted to an ape mime
And it's garbled all my best lines
Oh, I turned into an ape mime
I can barely ask 'em "what's your sign"
Dummy dummy, oh yeah
(Turned into an ape mime
I can barely ask "what's your sign")
Baby, whoo-ooh
Doc said he'll retrieve half of my I.Q.
Fifty-one, or maybe two
But will I be a half a man
Or a full-blown simian
Does he plan to bring me back
Or am I resigned to sign for snacks
Don't you know I've had it as an ape mime
With your basic "sit and spin" sign
Baby, I've had it as an ape mime
Here's one finger, guess the other nine
Monkey monkey, oh yeah
(Had it as an ape mime
Shootin' "sit on this and spin" sign)
Baby, yeah yeah yeah
Doctor, doctor you see
Get me outta this tree
Yeah yeah yeah, said I've had it as an ape mime
See can you decipher this sign, baby
Since that doctor took me in
He said he and I'd make history
Between the two of us lies the key to mystery
He promised to cure my allegy
But had other plans for me
That's before I reverted to an ape mime
Just like Konga on a tree vine
Oh, I turned into an ape mime
For bananas I have learned to sign
Gimme gimme, oh yeah
(Turned into an ape mime
Learned "bananas give to me" sign)
Baby, whoo-ooh
I know an ape ain't supposed to bitch
But this fit I'm about to pitch
Cruisin' through the trees, no life for me
Cramps my personality
I could be pickin' up chicks
But I'm swingin' through the sticks
Since I reverted to an ape mime
And it's garbled all my best lines
Oh, I turned into an ape mime
I can barely ask 'em "what's your sign"
Dummy dummy, oh yeah
(Turned into an ape mime
I can barely ask "what's your sign")
Baby, whoo-ooh
Doc said he'll retrieve half of my I.Q.
Fifty-one, or maybe two
But will I be a half a man
Or a full-blown simian

Baby, I've had it as an ape mime

Baby, yeah yeah yeah
Doctor, doctor you see
Get me outta this tree
Yeah yeah yeah, said I've had it as an ape mime
See can you decipher this sign, baby

Went ape-s*** over this parody- 555!!!
Porfle, Porfle Porfle ... there's far too many tunes today ... You know I got to find a way .. to bring three fives to you today
Right on Porfle (Right on, right on) ay yi yi yi yi yi yi YI yi yi
Now that's textual healing.
5's!
You get a nanner for that.
Here's a little known fact Porfle, but you can sing this to "Goin' to a go go" Check it out -- Reverting to an ape mime (everybody's) .. Reverting to a ape mime (Come on Kong) Don't you wanna Marceau, yeah ... a one more time, yeah
Cool!
Hey Porfle, you didn't rate my 2 Madonna parodies that were my 2 funny songs. Do you not like Madonna or don't know the songs? Have you ever seen the movies "Vision Quest" for "Crazy for You" ('85) and "Who's That Girl ('87)??? I did the food parody, but think you coulda done it much better!
Sorry Rob, been busy catching up on some DVD reviews but I'll check them out. I remember seeing "Visionquest" and "Who's That Girl" back in the 80s. Never a big Madonna fan though I kinda liked her back then.
My apologies Porfle, forgot that you do your Blogs!!! Also, if into HK films can you tell me if they ever made a sequel that was a real one for "Her Name is Cat" with Almen Wong? I know that in HK you can steal another film's title. I bought "HNIC 2" and it was a totally different story with different actors-was pissed. I also love the HK film "Bullets of Love" but hate Asian concepts of romance where either the guy or girl dies in the end to prove their love!!! HK Cinema baffles as even the cover to HNIC depicts her as she would look in the anticipated sequel (you would have to see the end to understand)!!!

Rob--have to admit that I don't know that much about HK cinema except what I've leanred since joining HK and Cult Film News several years ago (mainly to help review the non-HK titles that they received). Now that I've practically inherited the site I'm stuck with the name!
