King Kong Song

About King Kong Song

"King Kong Song" (originally "Mr. Sex"), written and composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is the name of a 1974 recording by Swedish pop group ABBA, included on their album Waterloo. In 1977, the track was released as a single to coincide with the re-release of the movie King Kong, which charted at #94 in Australia, where it had previously been the B-side to "I've Been Waiting for You". It received a substantial amount of unsolicited airplay in Sweden, even though by then three years and two albums had come and gone since its original 1974 conception. The song bears a resemblance to the style of the Beach Boys. In 1974, the song competed in the Swedish radio chart show Tio i topp, where it stayed in the charts for four shows and peaked at #4. Also in Sweden, "King Kong Song" was the B-side to "Honey, Honey". more »

Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night 
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah 
I really had to write a song about it 
And then I'm gonna sing it with my rock 'n roll band 
And I bet the people gonna like it, yeah 
I know that everybody's gonna shout it 

And what a dreadful mighty killer 
A big black wide gorilla 

[Chorus:]
We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along 
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong 
We do the Kong Kong song, gotta sing along 
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom 
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song 

Now we can make the jungle out of any old place 
We can make gorillas out of people, yeah 
Well who can tell a monkey from a monkey? 
So people get together, gonna have a good time 
Everybody listen to the music, yeah 
'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky 

So let your arms hang down 
And waddle all around 
Like a dreadful mighty killer 
A big black wide gorilla 

[Chorus]

Like a dreadful mighty killer 
A big black wide gorilla 

[Chorus: x2]
