Anybody remember this tune?

[gamerouche]

During the days of pirate radio in the UK, I remember a song that was played lots on Radio Caroline but I've never been able to discover who recorded it or if it's available anywhere.

Chorus went...................My Monkey is a junkie,
My Monkey is a junkie'
I've got this junkie Monkey.......

I need help too please!.....Im trying to remember a song that stuck in my head that I was sure was by the original T-Rex (Tyrannosaurus Rex) was on TOTP called Hot Legs or something like that? Was close to #1 for a while too, had a catchy tune with something like caveman grunts rather than proper words! Maybe Im wrong and really losing it.......!

I thought it might be that.

I've heard it started as something to test out the equipment at Strawberry Studios & not intended for release, but enough people liked it to get it released.

One of the segments of Tubular Bells is called Piltdown Man, with Mike Oldfield doing some slurred caveman talk.

I'm sure Peter Sarstedt kept his Junkie Monkey just for fun, for a laugh, a-ha ha ha!

I too have been looking for this track, the last time I heard it was back in 1967 on Radio Caroline North. I would really appreciate having a listen again if you could spare an mp3 copy. Many thanks in anticipation.

Thanks very much all, I noticed that the Junkie Monkey song appeared on youtube within the last couple of weeks & It's a pretty good recording.
