[ShutUpH00ker]

:P

[SweetSoulIAm]

Why can't you set your monkey free?

I just did!

[malachaisaac]

This video is super crazy sexy cool!!!!!!

[Whammy51]

I like this version better. It should've been in the CD.

[SnotRockets55]

Sounds different from the version on the disc - and not in a good way.

[keezerg]

great song- often missed we all know people who are plagued with addiction of some degree- as ever he was a head if himself- fab man

[RossBayCult]

80's style dancing on display. But I love this song and the video too.

[snqg1984]

there's nothing I wouldn't do to go see George in 87, 88 and the faith concert

ahhhhhhhh

such a perfection

George I love you now as well, but u were the bomb then

[starsandbarsforever]

yes he was. i have to agree with you on that one.

[krissybug]

This song is about addiction which is often referred to a monkey on a person's back.

[jetershomie]

thank you capt obvious ;-)

[Myrtlesghosthunter]

I heard in the 80's that George wrote this song because his lover left him for a black man.

[MrJonnytheboy]

he he

[brianj959]

dear dear

[coolprodigy]

yeah, I've read the the same :P

[kostarr76]

nope...george said in an interview its about his lovers drug problem...monkey = drugs :)

[GarotodePalermo]

George immenso! Grande mito.

[shellyosborn]

This is perfection!

[MrJonnytheboy]

lets face it goerge is brilliant but he cant dance at all

[Boppaloppagus]

ok.....i have a good excuse for liking this song. When i was 7, i didnt know what i was about.

[sunburningstare]

cause your a classic closet case

[Branigan4ever]

If only he had continued to look this devastatingly HOT!

[JohnFatt]

George Michael should have worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis a lot more in the past. This was a jam!

[vettemuziekjes]

horses hate monkey's

[omgsawyer]

how sexy can he be???

[Ave666HIMpunk]

hes so sexy!!

my fave song it got to have faith!

[skingerskanger]

doin' the cabbage patch y'all!!!:D

[michmontes]

In that case I'd sure like to meet you :P

[DIMRAPSOS]

with a monkey?

[pinkmacbaby]

my god he is sexy

[jagna15]

great~!

[6083748]

im gay.

[mattier3030]

ONE OF THE BEST SONG FROM THE 80'S

[goticaborderline]

awesome awesome ¡¡ 5

[LividMan]

Respect.

[kanuckmodel]

GM is a very underrated vocal and entertainment talent. I blame it on the big war between him and sony which became the reason behind "Freedom-90" song. I hate idiots that dont know english and think its a gay pride song. It is pretty obvious he was talking about refusing to be a product and that people need to understand he is just a singer and no one owns him. He never promoted again for any sony album no videos, no tours, no shows. AND the second verse is directly to Andrew from Wham.

[JimmieHeaven]

XOXO

[DiamondsAndDenim]

This song was about Michael Jackson and his monkey Bubbles. It was a big thing when this song came out. MJ and George had an affair.

[mjnurney]

your an idiot , the song is about heroin addiction, if you have no brain , shut up

[HEARTSONG6872]

I guess you would of had to of lived in the 80's to realize just how awesome that era was. Sounds like you really have no clue.

[RichoRosai]

"Would of"? Sounds like you have no clue about English.

[esnochus]

hahahaha lol

[esnochus]

You are sooo right about the 80´s decade, I´ve heard people say fashion on the 80s was really ugly, i totally disagree, looking at GM´s outfit on this video quicky transported to that time, i would have loved to wear that hat and suspenders!!! His hair was super-cool too =D

[fearthebain]

I like 80's fashion. It's the best. I can't wait until those little round glasses become popular again.

[hotgeorge44]

the way he dances and runs across the stage!!! xo♥

[Quanyin69]

Still such an awesome song!! WOW!

I love you George....

[wdupejebanifaniczeko]

Dobre ! :)

[Ralpymorris]

One of the greatest artist of all time, just like that, influential, pathfinder and generational icon. Maybe we will see two or three real artists like George Michael in our life, so thanks him for being here.

[ajittffcure]

I think this track is heavily influenced by a Human League track called 'I'm Coming Back' which was released 3-4 years prior to this song. Check it out on You Tube.

[rolybling]

Fail

[SalamanderNatsu]

MONKEY

[scallyali]

george i soooo love you <3 ul always be my hero xxx i love this song

[Malcos68]

This could be funny for the collection Margaret Thatcher sings ...

[atollado]

Happy Birthday George.

[tamelamiles]

Monkey is one of GM's best. I remember being a sophomore in high school and adoring this man. Most music today simply blows. : P

[sjogy]

he will always be the best forever and ever love you george

xxx

[alvastarr1]

When he says "I hate your friends", he sounds like he says "Ugh" right after!

[shellyosborn]

THE POP GOD!

[efblue]

best song ever ....

[Divaskylab]

I LOVE HIMMMM!!!!!!!!! Faith was the bomb album!!!

[damonzan]

what does he mean by monkey in this song?

i'm laughing already... lol

[chazatlas]

this was the jam in 88, thats the year I graduated from high school. wow music used to be good.

[barrelofagundm]

amazing dancing! mmmm

[jdpjrdude1]

he dress as amish guy with earring. lol

[hotgeorge44]

wud love to unstrap him!!

[mickpara]

'faith' is one of the best albums of the 80's.. So many great songs!

[Goobian]

My cousin would sing I have a Jodi on my back when I was a kid to playfully tease me lol. My first name is Jodi. My family have always called me a monkey as a nickname.

[foxxylau]

at least u guys got it right...yall assholess¡¡

[shellyosborn]

George looks very hot in this vid. I have great memorys of this song and albulm. G.m I xoxox you.

[dmgirl88]

It is not about anything racist, but about the term having a "monkey on your back". Monkey=addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex etc.)

[acotw67]

dmgirl88:

100% correct. Also an excellent song if you feel like going wild on the dance floor.

No one gave a damn what GM's sexual preferences were, or considered the lyrics were about anything but drugs, back in the day.

Peace

[Malcos68]

You can find an interpretation in most things if you try hard enough .... erm, Teletubbies on LSD

[acotw67]

Malcos68:

Are you joking?That's rather funny.

[facefavour]

You stupid idiots it's not about colour or race, it's about getting the monkey off your back!! My god how the world is so uneducated.

[srama3]

regardless of the meaning behind the songs, its awesome

[Puffyclunge]

Damn right. I'm glad you agree. Can't believe people think there's a drug/drog called Monkey. "I took some monkey last night, I'm well glappered". I don't think so.

[albertaforalbertans]

not really, Ive heard real racist songs before.

[Stadiumrock]

Monkey by George Michael is not about races your idiot, it'd about drogs

[efblue]

you are best ...

[Clanckraft]

Great!

[JehCavalcanti17]

não gostei

[tkelly27]

Wow. Who would have thought I could identify with a George Michael song.

Monkey on the back refers to an addiction.

Do you love your monkey, sweetheart, or me? Why do I have to share you with (H)im? Why do I have to wonder if you're gonna wake up tomorrow? She loved the monkey up until we broke up, now she's fucking clean and perfect. So it goes.

[XxXGermanMartinMBXxX]

Why is it that I got that? hahaha!

[bottyrob]

how is this racist?? just curious

[XxXGermanMartinMBXxX]

In Germany our monkeys have wings. :/

No joke!

[OuterSpac01]

Great song....why can't YOU set your MONKEY free!

[AndreaKsh92]

he's sooooooo hot!!! :D :D

[stillwaterseven]

He is hot and I'm a straight male ,..I can still say I wish I looked like this guy :)

[76rockin]

Zac Efron, who?, George I don't give a careless whisper dude, your more male and hunktastic. Take that 17 again!!! This is what hotness was in the 80's and the 90's.

[dolphinbuc]

Set your monkies free!

[IrishLincoln]

No way! i get 50 bucks a month for keeping my monkies caged. It's a long story.

[XxXGermanMartinMBXxX]

lolllll

[Mangapulse]

When orthodox boys go wrong.... Love those close!

[CaptainBaseball]

Georg Micheal one of the best singers of the last century..... especially 80s

[cs512tr]

the bst part is. even today i prefer his music (80 - now) over any new 'music' as they try to call it. lol

awesome!

[bbhaw84]

omg that is soooooooooo cool!!! :-D lucky!!!

man, 2 bad he duznt look exactly the same. shame ppl have 2 grow old :-) but hes still amazing!! u dnt have any pics of his, of that concert u went to, by any chance?

[Branigan4ever]

This man exudes sex appeal in spades in this video! T O T A L L Y H O T !!!!

[budulis5]

bit pitty on youtube not perfect quality, , monkey song sounds so powerfull, in nowadays not everybody artist can do swich between styles and make groovy music, george is talent

[plbaylock]

0:29 that move he did was funnt as hell looooooooool

[CilVine]

We desperately need more artistes like this guy right now. He is so genuine and colourful. Unlike a lot of the singers and 'stars' we see nowadays, you can see that this guy is a born performer. lovely track and video. Its amazing how George's 20 year-old videos also outstrip those that we see today for content and originality. True artistry is timeless.

[SpeakingOut2U]

Thank MTV for fucking it up. These guys cater to the lowest common denominator.

[cs512tr]

mate i had to login to agree with you!!

most of today's 'top 100' etc are a load of b.s.

cant sing for shit or come up with their own brand of music.

i.e George, created his own style and owns!

timeless indeed.

all over!

[debrabant59]

BEAU GOSSE

[HELOOKAT]

gay men are always energically sexy

[rbachelder]

WOO!

[jcabbot]

I saw this tour in the fall of 1988 at the Alpine Valley Outdoor Ampitheater in Wisconsin. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen or heard.

[ayshamaria89]

i lovvvee u georgious. ti amo xxx

[bethanyrose78]

I remember this video from when I was a kid. He was a great performer!

[cuppholdeer]

[foreignaustrian]

Do you dance better? Show us! ;)

[cuppholdeer]

[bucharlino]

[bucharlino]

[wajda1212]

MAGNIFIQUE LA CHANSON

[ConcealedEminence]

This is prolly one of his best songs to rock out to during class. XD

*sings*

[altin2007]

[amberwintergyrrl]

This dancing is so damn jazzy! I love George.

[grayson311]

funniest dancing EVER!!!

[Eli11174]

Thanks for bringing back the memories with this song ! 1988 - the best year in my life !

[lexismom98]

I saw him in Lexington at Rupp in 1988, OMG, we had the worst seats, I couldn't even see him, but that voice, clear as a bell, only GM n Vince Gill have put shivers down my spine at a concert, what talent!!! And I don't care how gay he is, he is one sexy MF!!!

[furrypapa]

no i have a girlfriend actually

[sislacs]

hey papa do u have a boyfriend

[furrypapa]

what sort of a name is sislacs?????

[sislacs]

what a dancer,if only i could dance like dat,my girlfriend would love that

[sjsdirectny]

Man George Michael is deep. Watched a couple of his videos as a teen and now as an adult I see a lot of stuff in his songs that I didn't see before. Truly an extremely talented singer and songwriter I'm appreciating on a whole new level.

[NYFrosty]

I was a naiive girl back then, so enamoured of him! ;)

[ttori1998]

George Michael rocks!

[HIMfreak4eva]

who the hell cares..

does anyone care if hes gay

i dont so go screw ya self geez

[dothedamnthang2]

exactly, who cares... you're a straight white male

woopty fuckin doo

[hotgeorge44]

stick it in your mouth and choke on it u fucking jerk kazi!

[marty7044]

what the hell is up with this video?  it's like the video and audio are completely mismatched.

[clarkbell]

at least he likes to dress up... on this album he dressed as a 40's singer, a 50's singer, and an explorer

[rmaxo]

Its about kicking a drug habit. His lover at the time had one.

[darwleg]

MONO!!!

[dmgirl8800]

It is not about the term "spanking your monkey" but having a "monkey on your back". Monkey=addiction (drugs, alcohol, sex etc.)

[cs512tr]

finally someone with brains and not a gutterbrain!

cheers to you!

[YutzOyez]

George Michael Rules

[efil4kizum]

one of George's best with a little writing and production help from Flyte Tyme...i.e., Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

oh man I remember my babysitter dancing and singing to this as it played on mtv when it came out.. immediately gave me 80s flashbacks

[jenkmart]

Competition between sex with a partner or masturbation? Get a grip. Having a monkey on your back in any instance means a type of addiction whether it is drugs, sex, money or whatever. Geez...

[TheBranders]

the only reason you think that is cause homophobes like you shun him. he's a legend in his own right, and still making songs. but you wouldn't bother to do your research cause your an ignorant fuck

[HEIDIMOHAMMED]

IS THIS SONG ABOUT COKE??

[MisanthropicLuv]

wow this song is rad, at first it was eh, but after reading the lyrics i realized what the monkey was and this song immediately became rad!

[Canelitabella]

So true, artist nowadays just dance, but no one sings. I find it inconceivable the fact that most of the nominations at the grammys are for the rappers. So Sad. I miss the good ol'musik days

[lasigmaman]

If you're lamenting the downward turn of rock and pop music these days, tht's cool. But are you really downing the entire rap genre as a whole?? That would be a mistake.

[sahar091]

the generation today has gone down hill with music... altogether not a smart generation.

[clarkbell]

Too Funky was his last good song. Things went downhill starting with Fastlove.

[2franciss]

you tell him gingerbreadface, hes a feckin useless wankstain haha

[2franciss]

You really need to stop wasting ur time criticising someone who has a career only a low-life like you can dream of, hes an amazing singer, and your a fucking twat!, do you have any hobbies, because your clearly lacking a life, come back when your career is as succesful as his, now jog on you stupid prick

[Schalkelinho]

I don't think so, but it's ok, if you do it.

[Schalkelinho]

@VernonCash: That's just not true. He still can fill wembley.

[predictus]

Its amazing how much a gay man's sexual leaning means so much to heterosexual males.

[missismercury]

moron

[GiovannatheSTRONG]

man he was gettin down in this vid!

[idetached]

Funny how the people insulting George on this thread only show how immature they are. George has been through the ring of fire to hell and back and is still relevant. He has the best voice out there. Must be some attraction to him and his music since this song keeps getting played while the immature comments are typed or is it pure jealousy at how hot the man is. George knows who he is and is comfortable in his skin. It's a big part of his attraction. Get over it.

[ang45875]

One's sexual preference should not matter. He's a damn good singer and performer. I grew up listening to him.

[szamszi80]

very good song..i like it

George is also a great dancer..:)

[jogschneider]

Ahoy, Mate,  Uh, why don't ya say what ya really think! He is , oh, oh, George M. is so very intense, great stage presence. One Fine Dock Rocker, Houston, the one in Texas, not Alaska, certifiably MdDS, google it now. :)))))))

[GeorgeMichaelsMonkey]

because of him i wish that i was born back in the 80s. ;)

[GeorgeMichaelsMonkey]

i think he dances perfectly.what a bomb he was...

[DawidExp]

hip hop !

[melodiesunshine1]

I love you george! you are amazing! and you are a very good man! please ignore the stupid, sad, comments below.... love you so much!

[GeorgeMichael95]

I agree!! George, those people who had wrote those stupid comments about you have a sad life! They have no idea what they are talking about! You ARE the best! You are such a beautiful person (both on the inside and the outside!) We are someone here who loves you more than anything else! And you must NEVER stop singing, you bring so much joy to so many people! Your my life!! Can´t live without you, honey!! Love you, George! And I always will!

[hotgeorge44]

im with you GM95! love that man more every day! he is the best of the best! a beautiful man to listen to and a beautiful man to look at! xo 4eva george from hot!!!!

[maartmeisje]

Het concert in Rotterdam was fenomenaal (jaren geleden :-)

Hij heeft zo'n lekker kontje ;-)

Goed nummer dit.
