Richard R Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) So here's a bizzare question, from one of my twenty-something friends, who isn't really into music: "Do you know a song that's about a country or has a country in the title but I'm sure it's also about a monkey/gorilla...I can't for the life of me remember the song or tune But it's in the same vibe of song as Sweet Home Alabama or I Would walk 5000 miles" Any suggestions welcome, as I'm stumped! 😁 ===== Answered on page 2 ===== Edited July 10 by Richard R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Could it be All Summer Long by Kid Rock? It has part of Sweet Home Alabama and Werewolves of London mixed together in there so not monkeys but Werewolves and not a country but a city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a city rather than a country my bet would be on 'Monkey Gone to Hebron' by The Pixies 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 All good suggestions, but apparently not the song she has in mind. I suspect the gorilla is a red herring and we should think about countries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 I asked for any more information and got "It has a lyric about a pillow and head I think. And it’s sort of a party song" It must be something pretty well known because she doesn't listen to much other than what's on Heart FM.

If it's any consolation I have Mike Oldfield's To France stuck in my head. 3 hours ago, Reggaebass said: George Ezra - Budapest I'll suggest that, but it is even less like Sweet Home Alabama than 500 Miles is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
