"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey

ok, and now for something completely different. i'm interested in any/all rock/pop songs about our simian friends. i can think of three at the moment: "monkey man" by the stones, "everybody has something to hide except me and my monkey" by the beatles, and "monkey in your soul" by steely dan. are there more? how bored am i to think this up?

the album "unfinished monkey business" by ian brown of the stone roses. (lousy album for the most part, with a few really good songs)

then, on his next and far superior album, "golden greats," there is "dolphins were monkeys."

great, strange song.

"Gorila, You're a desperado"? by Warren Zevon
I think that's the title, but I'm not sure.
