The first time I saw the Monkey, I was spinning at a club in Dusseldorf...

Someone sent a link to THIS today, and I was much entertained by it. It reminds me a little, for some reason, of the people who made the Urban Monkey short films years ago.

The Urban Monkey films revolved around deadpan documentary interviews with people and footage of an elusive "urban monkey" who can out-breakdance anyone on the block. They did a recreation of the legendary "bigfoot footage" that was killer as well. All of this was set against a backdrop of original hip-hop. I'm sad to find that it's disappeared so utterly from the internet. I couldn't even find it using the Wayback Machine.

Now-a-days, the Urban Monkey title has been claimed by some British kid who hops around. Okay. He's slightly cooler than that, but it makes me just a wee bit bitter.
