Shouldn�'t this have been posted under the alias "A room full of monkeys"? :-)

Good hell you're clever. Too many funny lines to mention, and I don't even like King Kong. Well done Mighty Spaff Stud.

Good one! An anecdote about the 1976 turkey: Dino di Laurentis (producer of the turkey) and John Peters (producer of another remake turkey, the Barbra Streisand update of "A Star is Born") are at a party. Peters, a little tipsy says to Dino: "My picture's gonna gross more than yours!" Replies Dino: 'You may be right. Your gorilla can sing."

I want to see Paul Robinson write "Cream On" for WhatFreaks.

Johnny D - February 02, 2005 - Report this comment

Oops, scratch that - Philbo Baggins already posted "Cream On" on WhatFreaks.

;-) I did a cleaned-up version for amiright, too... This is my favourite Aerosmith song, and one of my all-time favourites - and a typically excellent parody to go with it.

Stuart McArthur - February 02, 2005 - Report this comment

classic Spaff: " If you faint - like my girlfriend Fay Wray did - You may wake up in-simian-ated" - love those consecutive syllabic rhymes - very Chaucer
DKTOS, but very witty as usual - btw Australian boys fell in love with Naomi Watts when she did a lamb commercial here as a teenager - we miss her a bit - 555

We're still waiting for a parody about the pilots who shot the big ape down: "I Smite the Kongs." And for Fay Wray's version of the story: "You Shook Me All Night, Kong!" But then, Peter Jackson's got a long way to go. The original? That film was the pride of the fantasy side, from the tropics to island Manhattan. As the film legends go, that one's better than most. Don't watch that DeLaurentiis splat-in!

John Jenkins - February 02, 2005 - Report this comment

Too many good lines to list, but I particularly like go-rillaphobic and in-simian-ated.

Peterchyd: This time I decided to take the monkey and run.
2nz: Shaolin Monkey? I had that for lunch today with a side of steamed rice.
Sgt Decker: Is that a brand of ointment?
Philbo: Yep - classic rock at its classic-est.
Stuartiste: Grab the MP3 above. Seriously. Take Philbo's word for it.
Michaelopedia: "The Wreck of De Laurentiis' Monkey"? Two excellent reasons to see the 1976 version: Jessica Lange.

Johnglebarry: Here's one back atcha from Roger Ebert:
At a Hollywood party in 1972, I saw Hugh Hefner introduced to Fay Wray. "I loved your movie," he told her. "Which one?" she asked.

Lovely illustrations of how to sing the song, as well as writing it. 555 (shameless plug: KK fans should also see http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebeatles636.shtml)

Ralphing Luke: Yeah, this original gained a whole new audience thanks to MM. And it's on a Buick commercial now, which means that Aerosmith may finally have gotten their big break.

You say what you like, Donkey Kong could kick his ass. He's got barrels, man... BARRELS... And now you're stuck in A Room Full of Monkey Puns. I'd feel for ya, but I'm still savoring the funny of the parody.

Paul Robinson - May 06, 2005 - Report this comment

Haven't been around too much lately. Great job - 5's...by the way, when I worked at the Hollywood Supply Seargeant in the early-to-mid 80's we had some "King Kong" plastic drink cups that were left over from the promotional stuff created by the DeLaurentis folks for that miserable bomb of a flick...The cups were made of a very brittle type of plastic so they did not age well...if you actually put fluid in them and gripped the plastic fairly hard it would crack starting at the top rim and then move down with each re-grip. We used to get a lot of "Close out" and "Discontinued" crap real cheap...some of it we were able to sell...some of it just sat there and stared at us all day. the "Kong" cups were amongst the "starers". I bought some for store cost (pennies) and took them home for "kitsch" value...but finally threw them out when I moved a couple years ago. HEY! I see my name in the comments here. JD! Gosh - I'm honored by the mention. Haven't thought about writing any "Whatfreaks" stuff in quite a while now...

Ant In Chains: Thanx!
P-Rob: Hey, welcome back, man. You should have held onto those Kong cups until this fall. You could have listed them on eBay. After fees & stuff, you could have broken even.
