    With this one, we're hoping that Jimi would be proud! This song kicks ass! From the nasty Em7 chord starting it off to the crazyness of the solo, this song is a jam favorite. The vocals in this song are pretty amazing also. If you listen closely, you can hear Zini doubling up all of the lyrics. Plus, the Boy and the Wild Child get in their only vocal performances on the album here ---"I'm lookin' for the Monkey...". Lucky for you we kept it. Enjoy!

    Story Behind the Song
    Every song recorded on this album was taped
    live, one take. There are only over dubs on
    the lyrics, you can't get more live than this.
    The song Lookin' for the Monkey, will be self-
    explanatory with the first lyric: "Hit like a
    ton of bricks, Gotta get another fix." Don't
    worry moms and dad were only talkin' soft drugs
    here! The song is 3:05 minutes long. The Boy
    is clearly audible in the background vocal track,
    but the doubled up main track sure sounds spooky!
    This, obviously, is the title track of the album
    of the same name.

    Lyrics
    Hit ya like a ton of bricks,
    Gotta get another fix,
    Feels like I'm buried alive.
    Hell, look alive but don't look at me.
    Looks like a crack in the ice,
    No way to make it to shore,
    You better keep running, Honey,
    But don't come running to me.

    If that jive turkey...
    Don't stop talkin'...
    He's gonna be the straw that breaks my back!

    You better turn the other cheek,
    'Cause the shits gonna hit the fan,
    I stare directly into the Sun,
    And bury my head in the sand,
    If you think ones enough,
    Then you don't know how I feel,
    If you want to know the mystery man,
    You'd better sit down and shut up!

    If that jive turkey...
    Don't stop talkin'...
    He's gonna be the straw that breaks my back!

    I'm lookin' for the monkey,
    Gotta get down and hide,
    I'm lookin' for the monkey,
    A Get Down... A Get Down...
