Songs you should listen to: The Chameleons - Monkeyland

[PaganElements]

I'd never even heard of of this band before stumbling upon this video. Pretty amazing! I've acquired an LP of the album since, and love listening to it, especially this track!

[calloutinchains]

Nnnnnoooommmmmiiiinnnnnaaaalll­l ttttuuunnneeee, dude!!!!!!!!!! Where did you find these? You should listen to SYSTEM 56 - You're Only Dreaming, Life on a Cool Curve, Metro Metro, they are kul dark tunes from a remote part of the galaxy probably won't find them here

P.S. I do not understand all the"spooky" comments concerning this song. This song isn't spooky nor scary, its beautiful; The vocals, the guitars, the bass, the drums, the lyrics...its brilliant people! " Spooky," its just the trick of the light, ya sillies!

Much love......

[breeeegs]

welll I'm the only one who said it was spooky, but I meant that in the best possible way. The song has a very haunting vibe that I like and that makes me keep coming back to it again and again

[breeeegs]

spooky can be beautiful

[nyny74d]

Thank you! Cheers friend, I sear I needed this song tonight! I must go dance now......

INTERPOL!!!...<<---- AWESOME

[Moreirinho]

The sound and the Chameleons are so underrated, Up the Down escalator by the chameleons is my all time favourite

[coptersoisoi]

Is that Manchester today? I didn't know they had huge buildings like that in that area of the UK. impressive. Anyways, it's about the music. I miss the industrial side of cities before the great push to modernize (which started in the 50s and slowed down several times because of lack of funding do to several failing economy periods). Some of the older lofts still exist out there but most have been removed as hazardesss and force to sell to developers of highrise buildings. The atmosphere is gone

[AlternativeUses]

@coptersoisoi its frankfurt, germany. i was there a few times so the city stands out in my mind

[coptersoisoi]

@AlternativeUses Ahh ok. Well I never been to Europe. That one building is pretty big. How many floors/height?

[breeeegs]

Great songs. Spooky.

[guevaraul5]

So so good dann 80´S!!!! I love the 80´s

[guevaraul5]

well Awesome pretty much one of the many bands that build the bases for future 802 rock-melodic bands. thank so much

ITS JUST A TRICK OF THE LIGHTS

[carpenoctem66]

Don't just listen to this! Listen to all of their songs!

[ProfessorMonkeyFonix]

u2 sounds really similar to wack ass disney soundtracks. this is fuckin ballsy good music.

[breeeegs]

Alot of disney movies had great soundtracks

[ProfessorMonkeyFonix]

@breeeegs ahh. sure. agreed. night on bald mountain. not the movies i was referring to. think about a shitty disney movie. like a made for tv sold in target bullshit movie. idk pick one. and the music that was playing in it. compare it to some later u2. idk i made a comment a year ago, likely liquored up, like i am now. i go on youtube to poke around. i partake in no quarrel.

[thenameisbond]

The Chams definitely don't get the recognition they deserve. They paved the road for so many others (like U2) that enjoyed far greater commercial success, but that doesn't diminish their work in the slightest. It stands on its own and will always be relevant and timeless.

[Sadlovers44]

SHIT!!! Chameleons is the best 80s

Band, good voice,guitar,...

iloe it!!!!

[buddy4759611]

i have never heard these people befor but this is so stupid its like completely depressing and not worth licening to UHG i cant take it any longer! scary and creepyyyyy musice! good bye! forever!!!!! ahhhhhhh

[AlternativeUses]

You should punch yourself once for landing on this page, then punch yourself ten times for contributing your worthless comment to the page.

[mrshankly213]

@buddy4759611 fuck off back to N-Dubz then twat!

And it's always the same; a trick of the lights. I almost broke the tape too. But .. . . isn't it true? What is real and what is illusion? Tell me is it true. Is there anyone there?

And we try and we put in another day, but we still come back to this; is it Maya?

I'd love an answer, but think the answer inherent in the song. "Is there anyone there?"

They were good in their day, weren't they?

[imagewurks]

Back in the 80's, I remember sitting on my porch with a Walkman and listening to this band so many times i broke the tape.

[deeray41]

@imagewurks Ha! The worst was magnetic bumps on cassette tapes.

[carpenoctem66]

Oh my god! I can't believe I found this on a related video! The Chameleons are one of the greatest bands to ever exist!

[Dedets]
