My Gorilla Is My Butler (Instrumental)
YouTube video by Sly and the Family Stone - Topic My Gorilla Is My Butler (Instrumental)

β€œMy Gorilla Is My Butler” is not the best song by Sly & the Family Stone, but it’s probably the one that would make the best sitcom.

Personally I consider it much more β€œuser-friendly” to leave movies in theaters long enough for people to go see them.

Stage 3: The Monkees are a good band because they were invented by the creators of EASY RIDER, the songs were written by greats like Nilsson and Carole King, and the instruments were played by the wrecking crew, plus HEAD fucking rules and Nesmith produced REPO MAN.

Stage 2: The Monkees are a bad band because they were invented for a TV show and didn’t write their own songs or play their own instruments.
