ABBA - King Kong Song Lyrics

Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
I really had to write a song about it
And then I'm gonna sing it with my rock 'n roll band
And I bet the people gonna like it, yeah
I know that everybody's gonna shout it And what a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wide gorilla We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song Now we can make the jungle out of any old place
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey?
So people get together, gonna have a good time
Everybody listen to the… Now we can make the jungle out of any old place
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah
Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey?
So people get together, gonna have a good time
Everybody listen to the music, yeah
'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky So let your arms hang down
And waddle all around
Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wide gorilla We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wide gorilla We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song

FFS, it's meant to be a novelty song, not taken seriously. Get a f***ing sense of humor!

Haha, still fucking brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

Awsome!

This was originally called "Mr. Sex", which it really was. This song makes me horny.

Underrated

They're playing our song!

Me and my grandchildren think this song is very funny! We dance to it ..

Underappreciated

Kyle Landy Absolutely

The only ABBA-Song, that I don't like...but I can live with it :)

Sandy Thomas What? It’s great

I dare any band ever to cover this song. The sounds they make in the chorus must be hard to reproduce! It's great!

Loving this song. My number one favorite way to get my lazy behind in workout mode.

NOT one of their best (as I came to know them), but this may be a taste of others! I'd still dance to it!

daft rock and roll mixed with a bit of glamour sounds. Lovin it...

I was able to grow to appreciate this song only once I gave up judging the banal lyrics. Especially at this time in ABBA's existence, lyrics were secondary to overall presentation of sound. Everything here, and particularly the women's' vocals, is spot on. When Agnetha and Frida sing the second verse, it is precise and crisp and exciting - it's what would go on to become the ABBA sound.

the worst well-known ABBA song.

the rare abba song

It's funny and easy to dance on . I did not know this number since last year , but I'm inlove ***

Benny sings a low octave here.

ONLY song I ever heard them do that truly suck's dishwater.

This song is so much fun

Wonderful song.

One of the greatest songs off anyone's album that was never released as a single.

@Lora Coslet


Are you serious?

@mfrzb6691 Perfectly serious. Great music.

it was released in Australia as a single in 1977

The silly ones usually are the greatest and most enjoyable

HaHaHa! This is awesome!

If you did this dance you would look rather silly.

@Chroma Red Unless you actually were King Kong.

maybe so maybe so, but if you listen to this song and you don't dance to it then you are half dead
