4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

For Monkeys
2.  For Monkeys by Millencolin

How Ace are Buildings [VINYL]
3.  How Ace are Buildings [VINYL] by A

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

The Colour and the Shape

Echo
5.  Echo by Kristin Hersh

Licensed To Ill
6.  Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
The list author says:
  "Featuring that 80s classic, 'Brass Monkey'. Unashamedly sexist, but it was the 80's, and they have changed their tune since them, so I'll forgive them"
£5.94   Used & New from: £1.61
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Heroes & Villains
7.  Heroes & Villains by Powerpuff Girls [Related Recordings]
The list author says:
  "The best cartoon on the telly, and the best soundtrack EVER! Bis, Frank Black, Komeda, Shonen Knife, and Devo's fantastic 'Go Monkey Go'... Mojo Jojo is my god."
Used & New from: £11.06
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Gorillaz
8.  Gorillaz by Dan The Automator
The list author says:
  "Okay, I realise that technically a gorilla is an ape, not a monkey. But *you* try finding 10 songs in your collection with monkeys in the title!"
£5.29   Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (63 customer reviews)

Eight Arms to Hold You
9.  Eight Arms to Hold You by Veruca Salt

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

King
10.  King by Belly
The list author says:
  "'Now when you spin on your head like a monkey'? The rantings of a mad woman, or just very very deep? Tanya obviously has a thing about monkeys, a woman after my own heart."
£5.84   Used & New from: £1.16
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)
