Seriously -- I think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen or heard.
The Kongsmen(!) and "King Kong." Not the Kinks song, BTW.
Incidentally, I have no idea who these guys are or when this was done. I was going to Google them, but then I figured -- nah, this way madness lies. So fuck it.

Call me mad, but I had to know.
This stuff is brand new this year.
So say their ... are you ready? ... Facebook and MySpace pages.
Damn dirty apes.
This year, really?
Man, they sure have that 60s crappy mono sound down to an art.
:-)
I dunno, they sound pretty good for guys wearing monkey suits;>
I thought the K's on their frat sweaters were an especially nice touch.

Hmmm, too many of them to be Los Straitjackets.

I had no idea that Kingsmen cover had become so iconic. The album itself was such a comedown from the darkly exciting "Kingsmen in Person". The joke resonates.
They follow through in their on stage persona. Not sure how the Ape with the red Danelectro maintains his Kong like figure.
"Finally, really did it! YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP!! DAMN YOU! G*D DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!'

I should be working but . . . Following up on previous responses, I note that the YouTube of the Kongsmen singing "Can Your Monkey Do The Dog?" is a dollup of performance genius.
Follow up Question: They're Spanish?

That's just fun!
Listomania suggestion: King Kong songs. (Kinks, ABBA, Kirsty MacColl -- even our pal Zappa had one.)
The Original version of this is by Big "T" Tyler. I'll send it to you. It's better then this version. A classic old R & B number.
ROTP(lumber)

Formed by other band's members.
