The story behind

The Kinks recorded "Too Much Monkey Business" in 1964, as part of their first album of the same name. The song is a cover of an original song by Chuck Berry, which had been released earlier in 1956. The Kinks' version is based on the rhythm and spirit of the original, but with a more direct and powerful sound. The song stood out for its energy and fast rhythm, something the Kinks did well. It was one of the two Chuck Berry songs on his first album, along with "Beautiful Delilah". ↓ Skip to chords
