Any idea what this song might be?


Recommended Posts

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! 😁

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?

 

If it's a city rather than a country my bet would be on 'Monkey Gone to Hebron' by The Pixies

 

;)

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. 

 

A song with a country in the title or is about a country ?

 

Well, that narrows it down :)

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.

I’m the same with this when pillow was mentioned 

 

Sorry again!

 

If it's any consolation I have Mike Oldfield's To France stuck in my head.

George Ezra - Budapest

 

I'll suggest that, but it is even less like Sweet Home Alabama than 500 Miles is.
