"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?

Well, I set my monkey on the log
He's a weird monkey, very funky.

Well, I go to pet your monkey

Lloyd Jones' song "Trouble Monkey" off the album with the same name. BTW, this is a pretty good recording of some great blues /funk from Audioquest Music label. Not to be confused with the trunk monkey (Portland residents will get that, not sure about the rest of you).

how about Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey"...
