Take Led Zeppelin’s unfunky Custard Pie (found on 1975’s Physical Graffiti), throw out the title and the lyrics, replace them with Smokey Robinson’s Mickey’s Monkey, and listen to this Atlanta hard rocking funk band show Led Zeppelin how far short from funk they fell. If the concept “mash-up” exist...

This cat named mickey came from out of town
He been spreadin this new dance all around
And in just a matter of a few days
This dance became the new teen craze
The people see him dancin they begin to see
See this cat do that monkey thing
It's really something to see
This cat named Mickey's doin that monkey
C'mon and do the Mickey's monkey
Children, let's do the Mickey's monkey
Let's do the Mickey's monkey
Children, let's do the Mickey's monkey

Let's do the monkey (do the monkey)
