The Space Monkey

I think you guys are mostly unfamiliar with them, so I want to recommend the Ricky Gervais Show podcasts, of which I'm a pretty big fan. It's a very simple format: Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (creators of The Office and Extras) sit around with their friend Karl Pilkington; Karl speaks about various topics, and they make fun of him for being an idiot. One of their funniest regular segments is called "Monkey News", in which Karl reads news items he's found on the internet about monkeys. Below is a fan-video animation of a Monkey News segment, which Ricky loved and is plugging on his website.

Q - Can you link the "I'd eat a nob at night" techno song?

Well, I can't really stream it, as it's part of a whole long-ass podcast. Really, you should invest the 6 bucks or whatever and download season 1 of the podcasts, it's really worth it. But barring that, here's a YouTube link of the knob at night song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGxGgsGVbOs
