The Hartlepool Monkey

June 30, 2005 9:39 AM

I'm looking for audio of songs, comedy routines, movie soundtracks, speeches, etc. that make reference to the Hartlepool monkey. Can you help?

So far I've got Mark Steel's lecture on the French Revolution and an episode of the 99p Challenge.

The most famous song.

There was a Get Fuzzy comic a while ago that mentioned it. Bucky drools over imagining a place "where monkeys wash up on the beach like hairy ocean fruit." Unfortunately I think you can't get stuff older than 30 days from Comics.com without paying for a membership. A Google search shows that the strip appeared sometime around the end of December 2003.
