Our hindcast meteorologist @DocAndersen suggested a countdown of songs with “monkey” in the title, and I’m happy to oblige! Why? Well, it’s just another excuse to sneak some favorite acts into another countdown. 
Case in point: today’s monkey act. Grab your stomach meds, NJ Chic…..
#9: Monkey in Your Soul - Steely Dan
Oh, so you say you like Steely Dan, Scott? Here ya go! 
Steely Dan really could do short songs!! This one isn’t three minutes long. Makes up for the eight minutes of “Aja,” huh?
Just kidding. You know I love Steely Dan, and they’re fine with me, regardless of the song length.
Monkey in Your Soul
Written by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen
Recorded by Steely Dan
From Pretzel Logic, 1974
I can’t keep up with you no more:

Sorry. Not my cup of tea. Have you ever done a black and white countdown?

I did a pop standards countdown a few years ago that may be more your cup of tea.
