Warren Zevon - Gorilla Lyrics






Jungle telephone
Ding a dong ding ding __ with a red mud
Ching a chong ching ching

Gorilla go bang bang ____ling ling
Gorilla go bang bang ____ling ling

Great white hunter
He shoot gun gun
Country boy baboon
Him go run run

Gorilla go bang bang ____ling ling
Gorilla go bang bang ____ling ling

Get Back Gorilla!!!!!!

Warren Zevon Gorilla Comments
  1. D.... C....

    Makes me think of one of those waking up on the floor mornings thinking fuck l hope that never happened

  2. T.... B....

    Wozzaaaaaaaa...!

  3. M.... B....

    Who are the 25 morons whi put thumbs down

  4. C.... A....

    This just makes sence

  5. p.... ....

    But for self defense, one who would kill a creature such as this is a murderer.

  6. G.... ....

    My favorite Warren Zevon "novelty" song, he could be a brilliant humorist but I hate Werewolves of London and don't really care for Hit Someone that much.  But every time I hear this one I find myself singing and bouncing along with it and visualizing the story he's telling in my mind.

    G.... ....

    How can you hate Werewolves? Not just a novelty song! One of the great rock n roll grooves of all time.. pure genius

  7. C.... F....

    Love it

  8. N.... G....

    After so many decades of fandom for Warren Zevon, it's really depressing to finally come here and find that actual ape still shots are the best thing anyone can find to represent this song. How can you appreciate his complex music and lyrics when you have such simplistic interpretations and representations of it? THIS ISN'T A SONG ABOUT APES, YOU DUMB SHITS! DO A LITTLE HOMEWORK.

    N.... G....

    Yeah the Harambe shit is real dumb. But take a look up at the top and there's a whole thread where two people who knew each other in real life reconnected because one recognized the other after commenting on this video, so it's not all bad.

  9. C.... F....

    Warren Zevon and Harambe causin hella ruckus in heaven. It's a pretty picture. Kinda like a Zevon lyric.

  10. M.... P....

    Pardon my language but he was a fucking genius

  11. k.... ....

    Harambe lives ! and he took the keys to my 535i

  12. B.... ....

    Wonder how many of you out there know WZ actually liked apes of every variety. He actually read up on them...respected them very much. Definitely a man of many and varied tastes and interests, our Mr. Bad Example. His IQ was 2 points higher than Einstein's...not that Warren gave a crap. But he was brilliant in his own special, perfect-for-him way. And gods.. I miss him. But not for much longer...goddam lying doctors!

    B.... ....

    ONE MORE THING GRANT HAD A LOT OF SISTAS

    B.... ....

    I hope your feeling better. It's kind of a strange day.Filled with ups and downs you know what is good about N.J. you can't smell it from where you are .Your Cajun wow thats different for sure .I'm Irish not in the traditional sense If you saw me and Bruce Willis 20 years ago you would swear we were brothers now well I still have all my hair which i would trade for how wealthy he is. At any rate "ONE DAY I CAME TO A FORK IN THE ROAD FOLKS I JUST COULDN'T GO WEAR I WAS TOLD NOW THEY WILL HUNT ME DOWN AND HANG ME FOR MY CRIMES IF I TELL ABOUT MY DIRTY LIFE AND TIMES" AMEN
    Warren. I hope the reaction has passed . Hope you and Brody can passed everything

    "And if California slides into the ocean like the mystics and statics say it will i predict this motel will be standing until i pay my bill'

    Take Good Care Brian

    B.... ....

    Brian Grant Brian, my dear friend; Brody and I are once more amazing together. Every relationship has its bumps in the road. Ours has been remarkably smooth. Ya know, Warren's brilliant mind had a truism for every situation, that's for sure. Oh, BTW...you know the old saying about the way to a man's heart being thru his stomach? Not true for Brody, btw..well, the current wisdom seems to be that the way to a woman's' heart is thru the jewelry counter. It never was for me til Brody bought me the Rock Of Gibraltar in a platinum setting! Holy Mary, Mother Of God! This thing is a monster! Well, his sister informed me today that I hadn't fooled her. .I'm after her bro's $$$. (Brody, btw, IS well off. BRODY is .NOT me, his wife. I insisted on a pre-nup, becuz I did NOT want his people saying what his sister is. But BRODY doesn't give a crap what she thinks. He sez I'm his wife, his sister is, and I quote my beloved, "...my perpetual pain in the patootie!" Warren loved alliteration. He and Brody would have gotten along well! Have a stupendously marvelous day, Brian, my brotha Be well!

    B.... ....

    @Brian Grant Brian, my brotha! Hoping this finds you well, and zooming along. To bring you up to speed, Brody has taken me to the Cancer center in Phoenix,AZ, and I've had evaluation, assessment ( according to them, they're 2 different things) and started treatment. It's not the standard chemo and cobalt I'm so afraid of, but a treatment of the whole enchilada: emotional, physical, spiritual...They mingle what seems to me to be a bit mumbo-jumbo-ish: We're staying on grounds in a small, cute bungalow, and the air is ionized, purified and kept at a fairly constant 77°, ALL the water is ultra purified, even for bathing; they provide soap, shampoo, conditioner.... Everything has been checked for unhealthy ingredients. My meals are prepared by them...No pork, next-to no beef...Diet is heavy on fish and seafood, which I adore. Vitamins....It's ultra healthy...And I do have the last word on treatment. So..enuff about me! Im hoping your yre doing well. I care....Write when you can....Yr Zevonite sista, Kat

    B.... ....

    Hey Brenda Brody hope all is well . Everyday has been an adventure lately I'm not going to complain. You sound up beat that is great "I saw a werewolf waking thought the streets of Manhattan in the rain & He WAS LOOKING FOR DONAL J. TRUMP WHAOOOOO WEREWOLVES OF N.Y. these are jokes they are not good but they are the only ones I got anyway I'll try to keep in touch next week is hairy Bad luck streak in dancing school .My man I"ve seen the Eagles Bad Company and they were bad Warren was still the best I saw Tom Petty he sucked You know Elton in75 was pretty dam good to.I'll keep you in my prayers take care of yourselves Love& Prayers Brian

  13. M.... S....

    RIP Harambe

    M.... S....

    LOL. Why did you kill me? Why?

    M.... S....

    Michael S. Schulz hahaha i full only came to the comments to write that, but your already at the top haha

  14. d.... ....

    Great job kn the video but i think its time to upgrade and add some donald trump pics -just to show some respect.

  15. R.... M....

    RIP harbmro killed by dumb zoo owner

  16. C.... N....

    Haramabe died for our sins. Harambe is the new Jesus because he gave up everything, all, he had, his life, because we humans, or at least some of us, are idiots. I miss him, in his age and wisdom, his millions of years of evolution,, but how much would I miss some random, idiot, nobody human toddler who got him killed? That kid will have a lot to answer for, for the rest of his life. Great argument against socialism. Take responsibility for what you do, at any age, and don't expect somebody to be killed to save you, just because you're an idiot.
    A world treasure is dead, and we are all diminished, because of human idiots.

  17. j.... m....

    Always wondered why this song got so little play. Hilarious and telling

    j.... m....

    +jim mcdonald maybe it wasn't a single and was only on the album but still hope it gets discovered more maybe in a movie or tv show

    j.... m....

    loved his song titles!!! Seminole Bingo, this one too ect...

  18. R.... E....

    Warren Zevon was the only person who could have made a song like this actually work. If I ever lived in a villa I would have a hard time resisting the urge to post a "Villa Gorilla" sign out front.

    R.... E....

    THAT'S GREAT (LMAO)

  19. D.... ....

    took the keys to my BMW...

  20. D.... B....

    Thanks for putting this up. It made my day!

  21. j.... c....

    R.I.P. warren zevon. you were one of the very best. thank you for all for all  the joy and laughs that your music has provided us with for all those years.

  22. A.... S....

    this video is very important

    A.... S....

    @Alex S. correct

    A.... S....

    A fan of Serial Experiments Lain and Warren Zevon? You're a pretty cultured person.

  23. A.... E....

    Warren Zevon was just a genius. He left us a legacy we can enjuoy as long as we live. Even in Villa Gorilla. One of his many great songs.

  24. B.... G....

    YEAH took the keys to my BMW  and left me here to take his place HEH

  25. M.... P....

    I guess he was too dark to make a lot of people laugh. I enjoyed all his music and may he R.I.P.

  26. L.... W....

    Whooo! Warren Zevon Rocks on in Rock and Roll heaven, and in my heart of hearts. I'll sleep when I'm dead. 

  27. R.... R....

    Definitly one of my favorite songs !

  28. M.... H....

    I had this album.

  29. D.... B....

    Love the song and the video. Thanks kugashiragumi!

  30. l.... ....

    It was Dr. Zaius!!!

  31. N.... ....

    LOL fake gorilla at 2:29. If I'm not mistaken that's a very old photo of Sir Peter Jackson dressed up in a gorilla suit jumping out onto SH1 just north of Wellington. Went on to redirect the King King remake many years later.

  32. K.... C....

    When the world lost Warren Zevon, the world lost a piece of it's soul.

    K.... C....

    I agree.

  33. K.... C....

    Best lyrics EVER.

  34. S.... B....

    "Coming this summer...

    "Winner of the prestigous Palm d'Or at Cannes...

    "...Quentin Tarantino's 'Donkey Kong.'"

  35. W.... ....

    I heard this song when I was 15. I played it over and over. I haven't heard it since, until today. Now I'm playing it over and over.

  36. C.... B....

    Classic Zevon....... whatever this song is about, at least Zevon had a sense of humor.

  37. T.... ....

    Well thats not at all a racist, shallow interpretation of this song. >_<

  38. L.... D....

    Great fun!

  39. j.... m....

    Warren had great wit. He wrote alot of sardonically funny songs. Not all of his tunes were about death, like so many people think. Too bad. Zevon was a master in any lyrical category.

  40. t.... ....

    That last one was an orang-utan!

  41. B.... G....

    left me here to take his place heh never be another warren zevon

  42. j.... m....

    Warren was brilliant. Able to write a funny parody on any topic. This song just reinforces the vastness of his subect matter. Truly the best rock lyricist of the 20th century. A phenomenal sense of humor. Sometimes dark, but always makes you think about his words, and their meaning in his songs.

  43. d.... ....

    Zevon is right up there with Fats Waller and Zappa in terms of amazing lyricists.

  44. s.... ....

    If you read this as a poem youd be like WTF??? But with Warren's genius it's WOW!!!

  45. B.... G....

    I LAUGHED LIKE HELL THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM DO THIS IN PHILLY THE TOWER FOR EAST COAST PEOPLE WHO KNOW PHILLY AND nj

  46. z.... ....

    This guy and Frank Zappa, they could make any lyric work, however weird the wordings may be! Great song! Thank you.

  47. K.... S....

    Music didn't die with Buddy Holly, it died with Zevon. Listen to this song, I mean pure genius.

  48. L.... S....

    ...now I hear he's gettin divorced, layin low at Lamatage... of course! Pure genious, we miss ya Warren

    L.... S....

    I know it's 9 years since this was posted, BUT it is L' Ermitage. Now known as the "Viceroy L' Ermitage of Beverly Hills". Very upscale location to hang out and get over a divorce.

  49. M.... F....

    Thanks for posting this!
    Great images!
    5 stars + more!

  50. D.... ....

    Sorry my apartment's a mess... epic.

  51. v.... ....

    Thank you. If this song weren't here, it would feel like a missing tooth.

  52. B.... C....

    There will never be another like WZ.

  53. v.... ....

    Warren Zevon - Genius. Still sadly missed.

  54. j.... ....

    I just stumbled upon this treasure. So cool.

  55. J.... H....

    R.I.P Warren Zevon-he was great!

  56. L.... M....

    Well that's me

  57. A.... M....

    It takes a real musician to not take themselves too seriously and make fun and humorous songs such as this one. Mr. Zevon, you are greatly missed.

  58. P.... F....

    Absolutely hilarious. Thanks for the post.
