I was lucky enough to have a dad born in the early 60’s, he was in to 70’s punk and Ska music so songs like this were around in his youth and he shared songs like these with me when I was little, really opened my world to so many great songs and genres, which is why I’m here!

Special songs always had some sort of deeper meaning to them and probably the most important things to all there songs is the lyrics.

@zenmonkey2687 3 жыл бұрын

This song is about a woman who gets busy with another man, probably a big guy, and the original singer Toots(and the Maytals) is jealous, calling the guy a big monkey man! “I didn’t see you, I only heard of you, hugging up a big monkey man. It’s no lie, it’s no lie, hugging up a big monkey man”.

Those comments were common in Norway as well in the 50s and 60s, when racial slurs were publicly accepted and rooted upon.

@frankie3041 7 ай бұрын

Nothing racist about it. It’s a cover of a Toots and the Maytals song. Here’s what Toots said about the song in an interview: “Well Monkeyman is all about a girl, a very good looking girl like you! I fell in love with her and then a monkey-looking man took her away from me but I thought she was in love with me. The guy was ugly and not good looking like me, ha ha!”
