Monkey (dance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Monkey is a novelty dance, most popular in 1963. The dance was popularized by two R&B records: Major Lance's "The Monkey Time", and The Miracles' "Mickey's Monkey", both released during the summer of 1963.

The monkey is often referenced on animated series Johnny Bravo (in every theme song in addition to many times in the actual show), although it may be a completely different dance.
