The Rise and Climb of Animalwave!

The alternative title to this blog post could also be "If your monkey-ass band member keeps monkeying around, he'll get replaced by a monkey!"

Who hasn't been frustrated at a band practice and thought "If only we could replace our idiot guitar player with a Monkey?" Here's an audition video I would consider:

What a fully trained Thailand monkey band looks like.

Sometimes, the lead singer in your band is so full of himself that you want to kick his pansy ass out of the group and just become an instrumental band or replace his feathered hair ego with a real feathered screamer.

Do you think the future of music will include more animal collaborations? What modern day buzz band could be better with an animal band member? Should Bethany Cosentino do an album with Snacks the Cat meowing and purring? Should all the members of Animal Collective replace themselves with monkeys? Does Win Butler of Arcade Fire look like a Ferret?
