  • The original song ...

    The original song is by Toots & the Maytals recorded circa 1969. It's a jibe at their manager Leslie Kong, hence the title Monkey Man. Personally the best version is done by The Specials, more raw.

    It's a cover of a song originated by The Specials, I believe. They have used it in reference to the harsh positions of the club bouncers in England in the late eighties, though that may not be the true meaning of the song. Kinda a funnier version of "Ghost Town."
