Friday Frivolity - Monkey Edition

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

Just wait until you see what we dug up for this week's theme...

At last week's party, we quacked ourselves up with Donald Duck funnies.

This week, we're going a bit ape-crazy for National Monkey Around Day.

I'm in a bit of a musical mood today, so you're getting a list of tunes to monkey around with this weekend.

This came into my head first, of course:



Would you believe we even came up with our own "horse camp" version of that one summer? "Here we come, walking down the trail...hey, hey we're the Greenhorns...you know we love to horse around..."

This was the next tune I thought of -- but you are missing out on the best part, which is the classic dance I do for every single Beastie Boys song (because they all sound the same!)



You can't go wrong with a little Smokey, but I'm cracking up, because I've heard this song all my life and I never realized he was saying "monkey" in it!



This one'll get you grooving, for sure:



And G asked if I was including this one, which I had totally forgotten about (how on earth did that happen?):



And, finally, to get your feet dancing and bopping around:





Now time for the new stuff!
