There's a DDR song in which some guys relays a story about visiting the zoo and a monkey stole his ice cream.

"Monkey" by George Michael -- at least, I think that's the title. Chorus is:

Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always givin' in to it --
Do you love the monkey or do you love me?

Yes, it's a song about addiction.

I remember this song very well, actually. It was one of the better songs from that album. ("Hand to Mouth" is also very good.)

One one I thought of was The Monkey's show theme song. I recognized a few that others mentioned tho - when they said them.

What brought this question on?

Me, too.

'Hey, hey, we're the Monkees,
And people say we monkey around
But we're too busy singin',
To put anybody down!'

I was thinking of making a monkey compilation. :)

There's a band that plays at filk and sci fi events called Ookla the Mok that has an album they refer to as "an epic monkey rock opera." I think every single song involves monkeys and many have monkey in the title. here, check it out.
