Description

AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS MEGA RARE ROCKING 1959 78 FROM NEIL SEDAKA ON UK RCA 

I GO APE

Neil Sedaka - I Go Ape  1959

The moon is bright above
Oh, what a night for love
And as I hold you near
I whisper in your ear

I go ape every time I see you smile
I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style
I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while

Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
Like I was reelin' and a rockin' and a swingin' from a coconut tree
Oh, honey can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me

Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong
Honey won't you say you're mine
With a honky tonky monkey shine
When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape!


Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon
I go squealin' and a screechin' and a howlin' like a big baboon
Well baby I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon, yae yaa

Ohh, honey you know that I'm gonna be true to you
I'll keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts too
And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo, woh

Ranga tanga ring ting tong, I'm related to old King Kong, woo
Honey won't you say you're mine
With a honky tonky monkey shine
When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man, I go ape!

Only his second release, The record peaked in the US Billboard charts at # 42 , but made it to number 9 in the UK charts being the first of many top ten hits to come!

Relatively easy to find on a 45 - but very hard to find on a 78 as it didn't hit the charts until April 1959
