I heard that monkey saw another younger monkey get raped by another older monkey.

And the drummer ape didn't do anything to stop it.

So, then at their next gorilla town hall meeting he played this song and threw a banana at the older (rapist) gorilla. And then they beat him to death, because Brandon England (their King) told them to.

Justin that is so freakin funny. And that was not sarcastic. I especially like the part about B being the King. Good Stuff.

UNtil THen,

Video Transcript

We open on purple recording studio wall.
A title appears: A Glass and a Half Full Production.
We start listening to the first sounds of 'In The Air Tonight' by Phil Collins.

The camera slowly pans down as we hear the keyboard's atmospheric intro. When we start listening to the first lyrics we spot a hairy thing in the edge of the frame. As the camera keeps panning, the mysterious figure gets revealed.

We realize that in front of us is a gorilla.It looks calmly to camera. Phil continues singing: 'I can feel it coming in the air tonight.'

The massive Gorilla stares at us - concentrated.
We are almost sure that he knows we are filming him, but his eyes look through and beyond the lens. 'I've been waiting for this moment for all of my life.'

The gorilla focuses back on the camera. All we see is neck and head . And hair.

The camera gently zooms out revealing the Gorilla's surroundings. We see more of the studio.
And we discover a series of metallic things around him.

We realize that the Gorilla is sitting in front of a massive drum kit. One of those Eighties big kits with loads of things to hit. Loads of tom-toms, hi-hats, double bass drum, etc.

We know that the best drum solo in the whole history of rock - ever - is coming. The Gorilla knows it too.

The Gorilla hits the drums with passion and vigour. Elegance meets power. He's phenomenal on the drums - feeling every beat.

The camera leaves the ape and his drum kit in the studio.

The screen fades to purple. We see a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar of chocolate appear above the words 'A Glass and a half full of Joy'

OH, now I understand. The video makes perfect sense when it's written down like that.

Thanks JD.

JDL said...

I think the point is, gorillas love Phil Collins.

Really, he's been waiting for this moment for all his life, Oh Lord.

I REMIMBA!!!

JDL said...

Andrew,
I actually thought of you when I saw this. You have a similar drumming style.

Andrew said...

Thanks, J-lo...

I'll admit it, I just watched this for the first time a few minutes ago and laughed out loud when that ape started rocking it. Amazing.
