Cover art for Proudest Monkey lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

first off, fatbob 158, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about; there are numerous (as you put it) "half human monkees/apes," you just are uninformed of their existence. secondly, i agree with everyone on the fact that this song rocks. one idea i'd like to throw out is this:

Oh things were quiet then In a way they were the better days But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen

i love these lines. on the one hand you love what your past has been and all the joy it has brought you ("In a way they were better days"). yet at the same time, you know that you have a future that hangs on the accomplishments you have made even though taken the new path may lead to a different outcome than originally planned ("Then comes the day, Staring at myself I turn to question me").

glorious song, definitely one of my favorites
