...and here we find Ringo's old pal Keith Moon with a suprisingly touching version of The Beatles 'In My Life' from his solo album...'Two Sides of the Moon'...shame Mr Moon isn't around now to entertain both us and himself. I'm sure he would have enjoyed the 21st Century and getting old as much as he enjoyed his youth... oh...and below is the aforementioned 'other side of the moon'...
Here's Ringo Starr with his take on both 'Fiddle About' and 'Tommy's Holiday Camp' from The Who's 'Tommy' album/film. Not sure quite why or how this came about but I'm glad it did and I'm sure you'll agree that Ringo brings a very sinister air to 'Fiddle'...his 'Camp's' prettty good too...i'm quite a fan of ringo's film appearances also...
Ok then, one more monkey post to start the week..and it's the biggest, baddest monkey of them all...'King Kong' by The Jimmy Castor Bunch!
I think i'll end my little run of monkey tunes with this version of 'Brother Gorilla' from the late, great Jake Thackray.
I've no idea where this track actually came from. I have been told it was from the Planet of the Apes TV show that ran in the seventies (animation version?), but it sounds like a wacked out fan to me and well, I can't find a better quality version than this...but don't let that put you off, because this is pretty epic.
More monkey business with Rosemary Clooneys 'Little Red Monkey'...I think this version is sung by Joy Richardson, Jimmy Edwards & Dick Bentley, but i could be wrong...?
13th Floor Elevators keep the monkey theme going and in the process tell us how it really is...great stuff!
