I like this song, but what is it, neo-psychedelia?

[GreatBalancingAct]

@EritInvictus - haha! What do YOU think it is? It's many things, but we mainly like to think of it as a metaphor. The poor little monkey is you and me and anyone who's ever felt sorry for themselves and not been able to rise above the "gravity" of things to find their "planet of love". We would definitely LOVE to hear more about what YOU think it means. :)

I love you guys! Jeep we all need hats like yours to send as holiday gifts.

[GreatBalancingAct]

@sakibird ... We love you too! You need a bird hat, though, not a monkey hat (or "toque" as we call 'em up here.) xoxoxo
