New Song

Hey Altex . . . love the tune & the riff, love the video!  I've got the tune in my head now and may take a stab at coming up with few apt words (with your permission, of course).

On another recent songwriting thread there was an exchange regarding the meaning of the phrase 'hot monkey love'.  I think it would be a fun challenge for me to craft a 'hot monkey love' lyric set to your dandy tune - would that be OK?

Please let me know . . .

Also, I gotta say that I was a bit worried that the acoustic guitar on the floor would end up as kindling as y'all were leaping around . . . looks like a veteran instrument and that would be a sorry end for such a relic.

Keep creating, Altex!

Altex - here's what comes to mind . . . nothin' fancy, just good ol' hormonally-crazed rock&roll.  If you like it, send me the chord changes & I'll post it all formatted to the forum.

Hey - This could be the first multi-continental, multi-generational collaboration on chordie!

"Hot Monkey Love"

Music by Altex (in Australia), Words by J. McCormick (in Mississippi)

What I got is

hot monkey love

Looks to me

you got it too

. . . .

We can have some

hot monkey love

monkey see, baby

monkey do

. . . .

Monkey see, baby

monkey do

hot monkey love

just me and you

. . . .

(Chorus)

Ain't no need for

sweet poetry

Ain't no need for

flowers too

All we need is

hot monkey love

you monkey me

I'll monkey you

{end of chorus)

. . . .

Monkey up, baby

monkey down, hon

hot monkey love

round and around

. . . .

I forgot to include this in my other message. The guitar lyin on the floor was nothin but a crappy student Yamaha about 20 years old.

Thanks for the chords Altex - I shall get it all figured out in a day or two and post along with 'toned down/cleaned up' lyric.  Will also make sure all the writing credits are correct.

You're exactly right - I hadn't considered your age and how your parents might feel about the song's subject (rather stupid of me since I have a young son myself).  Perhaps 'hot monkey love' is an altogether wrong topic for this effort - - - I'll come up with something better.

Germane (I spelled it wrong in the other post) simply means 'relevant or on-topic'.

Altex - I'm working on the new/improved lyric (I'm guessing the original 'Hot Monkey Love' version will only be available on your highly-prized underground bootleg demo).

My approach for this next version is at the opposite end of the spectrum - rather than hormone-crazed, I'm going for something without any hot monkeys . . .

Altex, I got your chords (thanks!) - expect something soon.

Roger - the quest for the definative 'Hot Monkey Love' song is still afoot - - what thoughts have you on this most vital topic?

Ken - might you also join in on the quest for the ultimate 'Hot Monkey Love' song?

My initial thoughts on 'Hot Monkey Love' were to write new lyrics to a well known Stones song but doubling up on the first two lines. It started like this:-

I can't get no satisfaction,

I can't get the right reaction,

I just want my honey dove,

To make with me Hot Monkey Love.

But I tried and I tried and tried and I tried,

I can't get no, no, no, no, no Monkey Love.

It did not really flow and I got stuck there I'm afraid so I was waiting for the other, more prolific lyricists, Like yourself, Ken and ZombiE to mention but a few to come up with some ideas.

Roger

hey how is everybody doing.i'll giive it a go.    i can't get no gratifaction. its got a grip on the nation. you used to fly like a morning dove.when we made hot monkey love.and i try,and i tryand i try.i cant get no,no no no, monkey love   hey hey hey .                               hey this is a blast   badeye

I'm loving all the 'Hot Monkey Love' song ideas - great fun!  Here are some 'non-hot-monkey' lyrics for Altex & Damos tune with the great riff.

As you may recall, Altex expressed concern that my previous lyric would probably cause consternation for his folks.  So, I have taken a completely different direction with this version - this new lyric has much less macho strut and a lot more honesty:

Altex & Damos, just fit these words into your composition as you feel fit . . .and, please let me know what you think.

Glad you like the new lyric, Altex - coming up with words gets a little easier the more you try.  Just saw your previous post about recording the lyric.  Yes, I have Audacity (because it's free), but I do not yet have a microphone - so it doesn't do me much good.

Anyway, I sort of wrote the 'So Vulnerable' lyric with you (or somebody about your age) in mind.  I'm way too geezerly and oblivious to be vulnerable!

At your school there has got to be somebody who wants to sing (they might even be female!).  Ask around beyond your immediate friends and I bet you can find discover an aspiring vocalist who would relish the opportunity to record an original song.

Don't know how soon I'll be able to afford the microphone I want . . . it's not that it's that expensive, it's just that there are several other household priorities that must take precedence to Daddy's hobby.
