Things get flushed and repurified or decomposed and it's this big, dark, mysterious place," Black later said, "It's also a very mythological place where there are octopus's gardens, the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and mermaids." Francis came up with the song's hook, "this monkey's gone to heaven," long before the song itself was written.

The opportunity to give 'Monkey' the full Philharmonic treatment, complete with heavenly harp, must have been a temptation to them. Wisely such a folly has been resisted."

things because, you know, 'The devil is six and God is seven' rhymes with heaven. It's a nursery rhyme with mythological folk imagery. In oversimplified evolutionary terms, we are descended from apes and monkeys, so they are the animal we metaphorically most relate to because of this evolutionary kinship. So that's why it's not a bird or a fish gone to heaven."
