Animal Magnet - Welcome To The Monkey House (1981) extended, Monkey Monster Mix

A mash-up of the 12" single and the Spanish 12" single.
Animal Magnet came from Cambridge. They supported Duran Duran on their early tours, but soon faded away after releasing this underground hit. The song, according to wikipedia, would not die, and fans kept on buying the song for months. For me, the song feels like late punk Birmingham, like a time capsule. In truth, the 'Monkey House' was actually the recording studio; where the band would strip down as naked as monkeys, and sing about making lots of money.

Lyrics

Here we are in the monkey house, we've taken all our clothes off
Here we are in a sound-proof room, making all the noise we want to hear
Big apes small apes, anything at all apes
Playing in our cages when the light goes down
Cut out the facts, and only let in the rumours
We're going to be rich tonight
We're gonna be huge
We're going to be rich tonight
We're gonna be da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da da da-da-da
Da-da-da da-da da da-da-da
Da-da-da da da. Hey
I I me me grab grab grab
I I me me grab grab grab
Welcome to the monkey house
Welcome to the monkey house

Spanish (guessed):
dogo pasa, de la revel dark y la casa des monos
milanos, a la nochesar
es sino de marito a la putta der
me la smoother, que guantes y la sudores
y la como locos, per la carnaval
