I'm no one to critic a classic but i never understand why they say "pilgrimage west " in this song! I don't know why but this part always bother me because it sound, to my ear, that the word "pilgrimage" have to many sillables. It sound like it's forced/rush a little to fit into the song. I always thought it should have been "Journey" instead cause not only it fit the song better musicaly speking but also they talk about Sun-Wukong from the chinese novel "JOURNEY to the West" right ?
The tale of Son Goku.... A great monkey is born, during a storm, at the top of a mountain. He has tremendous power but uses it only for mischief causing the gods to become upset with him. They then trap him under a stone fist, but he is soon saved by a kindly priest who takes pitty on him and trains him. The priest puts a golden band on his head to keep him from hurting others without a reason and they begin their journey west.
It's based off of the Chinese story "Journey West", Godiego first sang the song song in the70's and Maynard is a huge fan, hence the name Monkey Majik as well as this being one of his favorite songs.
meh its alrite....itsw hard to know when their being sarcastic so i think they're insulting someone but you scroll down a bit more and then you understand :P well anyways its alright
わお taking an old classic and making new ... really like this! wonder if their version is at カラオケ バー // was tired of this song till now / ty for the post
Well respect to the Canadian boys for being interested, working and living in Japan, and for being fluent in Japanese. But they really have massacred this song! It's one of those songs you just can't cover because you will never get a better sounding version or shouldn't because you know you can't do it justice. Some songs are just best left uncovered. Godiego great band and they respect them a lot, but surely they would respect the fact thye're not on the same level as them as musicians.

Seekor kera terpuruk terpenjara dalam gua
Di gunung tinggi sunyi tempat hukuman para dewa
Bertindak sesuka hati loncat ke sana kesini
Hiraukan semua masalah di muka bumi ini
Dengan sehelai bulu dan rambut dari tubuhnya
Dia brubah, menerpa, menerjang segala apa yang ada
Walau halangan rintangan semakin panjang membentang
Tak jadi masalah dan tak kan jadi beban pikiran
Berkelana setiap hari demi mendapat kitab suci
Dengan dukungan dari gurunya temukan jati diri
