Kong Monkey

from We Don't Talk About Torgo by Tom Smith

about

To celebrate the release of the movie Godzilla vs. Kong, I wrote a little JoCo parody. That's really all there is to it.

lyrics

Kong Monkey get up, get moving,
Kong monkey got no plan,
Eat bananas, fight with T-Rex,
Fall in love with girl Ann.

Carl Denham wants to make a movie but
Monkey gets enraged.
Gets knocked out by the stupid gas bombs,
Brought to Broadway stage.

Kong monkey breaks free from chains of chrome steel,
He grabs Ann, begins to climb
To the top of the Empire State,
Kong monkey falls down to his fate.

It wasn't the airplanes,
Carl says it was beauty killed the beast,
Kong monkey very simple ape,
Big warm fuzzy secret heart --
Kong monkey deceased.
Kong monkey got greased.

Godzilla in the North Pacific,
Sleeping in ocean floor,
Gets woken by atomic testing
In Nineteen Fifty-Four.

Godzilla crushes several villages,
Bringing fear and death,
Destroys metropolis of Tokyo
With atomic breath.

Godzilla is finally beaten this time, but
May someday rise again,
Godzilla is big metaphor
For dangers of nuclear war,

Godzilla gets sequels,
Godzilla gets merchandising too,
Godzilla king of monsters --
But Kong monkey also king
So what else can we do?
But make films with these two -- a lot!

Kong monkey was first big monster,
Godzilla maybe best.
Now we have to decide a champion,
Only one way to test.

They could play checkers, go or ping pong,
Maybe Jeopardy,
Instead they're gonna have a wrestling match
On a town or three.

They did it back in the nineteen sixties,
But it was really not so good,
Now the CGI’s awesome to boot,
But I kinda still miss man in suit

Kong monkey, Godzilla
Throw down to see real king is who,
Both titans very simple guys
Big screen monster spectacle,
King of the Kaiju.
King of the Kaiju!
