Mickey’s Monkey (Original Artist re-recording)

Hey music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a classic song that will have you grooving and moving in no time. It’s none other than “Mickey’s Monkey” by the legendary Smokey Robinson.

Released in 1963, “Mickey’s Monkey” is a track that showcases Smokey Robinson’s incredible talent and the infectious energy of his band, The Miracles. This song was featured on their album, “The Miracles Doin’ Mickey’s Monkey,” which is a must-listen for any Motown fan.

The composition history of “Mickey’s Monkey” is quite interesting. It was written by the talented songwriting duo, Holland-Dozier-Holland, who were responsible for many of Motown’s biggest hits. The song was inspired by a dance called “The Monkey,” which was popular at the time. The catchy melody and lively rhythm make it impossible to resist joining in on the dance floor.

But “Mickey’s Monkey” is more than just a fun dance tune. It holds a deeper meaning as well. The lyrics tell the story of a guy who is infatuated with a girl who can’t seem to stay faithful. Despite her unfaithfulness, he can’t help but be drawn to her. It’s a relatable theme that many of us have experienced at some point in our lives.

Smokey Robinson’s smooth vocals and the tight harmonies of The Miracles bring this song to life. Their performance is filled with energy and passion, making it impossible to sit still while listening. “Mickey’s Monkey” is a true testament to the talent and creativity of Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.

If you want to dive deeper into the world of Smokey Robinson, I highly recommend checking out his other hits like “Tears of a Clown” and “Cruisin’.” You won’t be disappointed!

So, what are you waiting for? Put on your dancing shoes and give “Mickey’s Monkey” a listen. I guarantee it will have you twisting and shouting in no time!
