SOTD #135
Today’s song is The Funky Gibbon by The Goodies
We’re the Goodies, how do you do?
We’ve just been down to the zoo
We saw a monkey in a cage
Doing a dance that could be the rage
It’s not hard, so let’s all do
The Funky Gibbon, ooo, ooo, ooo
Do, do, do the Funky Gibbon (The Funky Gibbon)
We are here to show you how (Ooo, ooo, ooo)
Ooo, ooo, ooo, the Funky Gibbon (The Funky Gibbon)
It’s just like you
So come on and do
The Funky Gibbon now
Dogs are always howlin’
Cats are always yowlin’
But gibbons only like to sing and dance (Boop, boop, she-boop)
You be like that monkey
Get a little funky
And in a while, start to smile
Gibbon half a chance
Back before Bill Oddie got all ornithological, he was part of the greatest comedy threesome to ever grace kids TV. The Goodies were - and indeed are, if you take a look at the DVDs - absolutely hilarious. When the list of great TV moments is written there is space reserved on for Ecky Thump and KItten Kong.
This song was their big hit and it’s great to hear it again after so many years - and it gives a wonderful taste of what The Goodies were all about.
