A couple of my favorite baboon songs.
Baboon, You Can Drive My Car - Beatles
Don't Worry, Baboon - Beach Boys
 
Title: 99 Dead Baboons" by Tim Cavanaugh, Tune 99 "Red Balloons"

Hello Bobby my old friend.
It's good to see you once again
How's your mother, how's your aunt?
How's your father's skin diving suit?
I've got something you should see
Back at my place; come with me
I've got some brand new furnishings
Plus 99 Dead Baboons

99 dead baboons
Sitting in my living room.
Not too functional it seems,
But quite a conversation piece.
This one's Jake; that one's Dinah;
There's big Ned in my recliner.
No it's not a lazy boy.
Can't you see it's a dead baboon?

How they got here I'm not sure;
Woke up one day, there they were.
Luckily i've got a lease
Allowing pets if they're deceased.
I'm just thankful they're not apes,
'Cuz apes would clash with the drapes.
No more napkins at my parties-
Wipe your hands on a dead baboon.

Dead baboons are lots of fun;
Playing water balloons I've always won.
You can keep your dead giraffes and swine-
I'll take dead baboons every time.
There's just one problem I have found:
It's finding Purina Dead Baboon Chow.
But what a happy snorkeling device...
With 99 dead baboons.

vivaissy, baboons have been a staple of this forum (rather its earlier incarnation) for the last four to five years. If anything, this one is really overdue. :p
 
I'd hate to get too sentimental, but any salute to baboons would be incomplete without Rodgers and Hart's 1934 classic:

Baboon, you saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own,
Baboon, you knew just what I was there for,
You heard me saying a prayer for,
A Primate that I could care for,
And then there suddenly appeared before me,
Someone my arms could really hold,
I heard you whisper "ee uuuu uuuu uuu,"
And when I looked to the moon it had turned to gold,

Baboon, now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.


And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
heard somebody whisper uuueeeeuuuaaaahhhh
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Baboon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Baboon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
