‘Monkey Gone To Heaven‘ by PIXIES

It’s a song about environmentalism and referred also to biblical numerology. It
was released as a single on 20 March 1989, thirty years ago, one month before
their second, superb album Doolittle . It peaked at #5 on the American Alternative
Tracks Chart. It was the band’s first song that featured guest musicians: two cellists
and two violinists. B-side: ‘Manta Ray‘.
