OKAy so
I found this old Fisher Price MP3 player from when I was little and I decided to boot it up and listen to it. Y'know, just to see what I was into. It turns out there's a bunch of classical music and stuff on there. It was really nice. A bit into listening, I zone out and stop paying attention to the music. Then I hear this super frickin' funky beat. I think, "The Hell is this? It's like goddamned adult jazz. Wtf..." There's this double bass, conga percussion, and then the lyrics come in. Somebody whispers straight into the mic, "Five little monkeys jumping on the bed."
LIKE OH MY GOD. It's super intense. Like, if you cut out the lyrics it sounds like something a jazz fan would be into. He keeps whispering the lyrics. It doesn't get light-hearted or bouncy in the chorus either. It's intense all the way through. There's even people in the background echoing him. Just, "Five little monkeys... Five little monkeys..." It doesn't even sound directed to children all that much. Like, think of music a toddler would like. Really bouncy, right? Singer sounds overly-happy? The obligatory, "Come on!" and/or "Sing along, everyone!"? This has zero of that. None. It's like someone wrote a music track for his jazz album and his stoned friend said, "Hey... Hey man... Y'know what'd be hilaaariious? If- If'ya said, like, five lil' monkeys," and this guy TOOK THE FRICKIN' ADVICE.
So, that's my tale.
