H. Shadduck, where it is explained as meaning \"ape-man.\" The song revolves around an idiosyncratic descending guitar riff and absurdist lyrics. The song's verses primarily concern themselves with the view of de-evolution, noting foibles in human society. Most versions include a bridge that begins with \"God made man, but he used the monkey to do it...\" This is a response and reference to the Uncle Dave Macon song \"The Bible's True\" (1926), an anti-evolution song. <br><br>The song begins in the unusual time signature of 7/8 time, but switches partway through to common 4/4 time for the call and response sections. https://bit.ly/2k3tZer", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
