for those who remember the 70's and 80's

[Mark Bolam]

There's a special place at the back of mind reserved for the memory of Monkey Magic.

 

As I child in the 80s I sat transfixed to the opening credits wondering what the hell it was all about? why was it that the monkey that came out of the stone egg looked nothing like Monkey himself? guess this will remain one of the great unanswered questions from the 80s.

 

Check it out, the full opening credits and, 'MONKEY!' @ .58, awesome tune

Monkey was a lightweight compared to Lin Chun from 'The Water Margin'.

I recently watched bother series of Monkey and the Watermargin.

 

First bmx was an xm9, had drum brakes. Then a Raleigh chrome burner.

 

I bought this for my oldest son for chrimbo last year. I think I like it more than him... Have you seen what the Old school bmx'er go for on eBay?

I had a cracking Monkey stick, I found it or took it from the shed, not sure which !

My dad snapped it in half because I hit my brother with it!

Gutted!

Water Margin was for weirdos, too japanese. At least Monkey made a half decent attempt to cater for western audiences.

 

Mark I have it on good authority this was your fav show of the 80s, the poor man's lassie - word on the street is you could regularly be seen singing this tune all the way to and from skool

Never watched it Tim, honestly.

 

My favourite TV of the 80s was Miami Vice, no question.
