For those of you who don't know (amazingly, there are some), MONKEY is the greatest television show ever created. It is so good, it cannot be described in words. Maybe this sound: BRRRAAAAHHHPFFFFT!!!!!!

You must watch this show. It is occasionally shown as re-runs late at night on Channel 4. You can pick up the DVDs from the link HERE

Below are pictures from the show as well as- wait for it- the famous theme tune!!! With lyrics so your whole family can join in.

<<<MONKEY MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!>>>

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)
What a cocky saucy monkey this one is
All the Gods were angered
And they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start
Of their pilgrimage west
Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)
With a little bit of monkey magic
There'll be fireworks tonight
With a little bit of monkey magic
Every thing will be all right
Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)
