The song[edit]
Written in 1977 shortly before the Arabesque lineup was chosen, 'Hello Mr. Monkey' was the debut single of the West German group. The song is about a 'Mr. Monkey' who was once famous, but now he 'should've been a clown'.[4][5] It features Mary Ann Nagel on lead vocals, with Karen Ann Tepperis and Michaela Rose as backup singers.[6] The song was a huge hit in Asia, particularly Japan and South Korea, spending weeks at number one.[7][8] However, it failed to chart in Germany and other European countries.[9]
Cover versions[edit]
- Pink Lady covered the song as a B-side in their 1979 single 'Pink Typhoon (In the Navy)'.
