YES! I thought it was my VCR. It seemed to stop just at the end before the credits. I am glad I am not the only one, thought I was going mad !

Here's the message: - --- What wonderful memories! I used to watch this series as a child many years ago in South Africa (about 15 years ago actually). It was on one of the Xhosa/Zulu channels (TV2 or TV3), dubbed into that particular African language. Despite not understanding the language, however, my two younger brothers and I would sit around whenever it came on late Sunday mornings, then run about the house afterwards goofing on it after being glued to the screen for the entirity of the show. Just watching the onscreen antics was enough for us. I'm 25 now, but still have a fond spot for Monkey and those happy days. I had forgotten the series until one day it occured to me to search the Internet, and I couldn't remember anything except that one line from the song: the words "Monkey Magic.. Monkey Magic" had gotten stuck in my head. One day I fired up Yahoo and typed Monkey Magic - and there it was. I couldn't believe my joy at seeing those familiar characters again, after not having seen them for over ten years. My biggest wish would be to watch the series in its entirity and in English so I could finally understand what the blazes Monkey was on about all those years ago. I'm living in New York now, and hope that someday it'll be released on video over here, or broadcast in the US on cable. It doesn't seem like USA knows much about this character :( A great site - thanks for the wonderful reminder of my childhood. Best of luck for the future! - --- Howell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------------- + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

To answer your question, yes there was music played under the vision. Please let me remind you that Recovery is a youth based culture program focused on dance music. Monkey is only one small component of our program. Therefore music will continue to be played under Monkey to make it conform with the rest of the Recovery program. - --- Howell ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - --------------------------------------------------------------- + To unsubscribe, send an email to: majordomo@valinor.eldar.org with 'unsubscribe monkey' in the body of your message + Need help?

In between the bands, he played songs and sound clips from "Monkey". Here's his message: - --- Hallo there, I'm Jason, I promote bands and clubs and stuff in Cambridge UK, and for about 6 months last year I ran a popular night called "Monkey Magic" that had indie bands, and between the bands I played CDs, and sound clips from the Monkey series and the theme tune etc...
