New York Dolls

I love the Dolls, and have been a fan for fifteen plus years. I love their band of dirty ass rock n roll cum girl group, like the Ronettes and the Faces had a lovechild.

The story of Dolls is somewhat well documented, so I'm not going to rehash it here.

When I heard the Dolls had a new cd out, I approached with a little trepidation, waiting to be disappointed almost.

While I was awaiting the Bachelor debauch of last week to begin, I was searching You Tube and found the video for "Dance Like a Monkey" from the new record. I was amazed to find overt and extremely clever satire of the evolution debate, with David Johanssen trying to pick up and undoubtedly corrupt a nubile Creationist over a Bo Diddley beat. I loved it...Brilliant. Hell yes! Rock and Roll lives. I walked up the street and bought it immediately.

Since then, this insanely catchy tune hasn't left my head, or my stereo, for that matter. I recommend it highly, and plan on using it as the theme music for The Wizard and Friends Inherit the Wind field trip to the Creation Museum.
