We just finished watching OLD DADS with Bill Burr , and when this song came on at the ending I suddenly found myself singing it and remembering all the the words after all these years ! My wife was dumbfounded to say the least , hahahahaha !!!
That’s where I heard it for the first time!! Love the movie AND the song!! ❤❤
Same here, just finished watching Old Dad's and started singing "I'm an Ape-man". Wonderful songs of our childhood.
Same here! Except my wife is not here. Had to look up the song.👍
Me too
Hahahahaha so I am
I wasn’t alive when this was released but lyrically this hits so hard in 2023, the world is so messed up. Thank you Kinks, these classics will live on forever.
I agree I was born in 74, and I don't want to die in a nuclear war, I want to sit in a tree and eat bananas all day.
Let’s Hope Russia doesn’t fail no Nuke November…
Exactly I was thinking its a new song so this days word is it 😍I was born in 1980 i will check their songs not possible to havant heard them if i did its a big miss on my side
O yes LOLA AMD MORE i know them ❤
born in 2006 and this is the most relatable song i know@@matthewmckee9914

One of the greatest songs in rock history. A wonderful melody, and lyrics so stunning and so timeless.
for the melody then they must thanks a French singer
Amazing how many songs from the 60s and 70s are more relevant today than yesterday. Absolutely brilliant!

I can pick up one of those round plastic containers of 60 pieces of Excel gum with my toes. I am fairly well-equipped for monke, I think.
What a great song and what an amazing band!!This song is more relevant than ever!!!
I am going on 62 y/o, and The Kinks have been in my life as long as I have been alive. Their music still holds up and is relevant today as it was then. Thank you for a lifetime of musical masterpieces!
I’m 73 still addicted since 64!

@@lannydante9390 ....72......a whole new challenge ,dealing with aging .
Thankfully we still have music to keep us (slightly) sane.....
The Kinks were ahead of their time with both their music and their MTV style video clips.

@@SteveMorris-zb1ug I'll make a search... on you tube i'm guessing... Oh and thanks for the tip.
This video is dope!!!! Man continues to regress. This light-hearted filtering of that is so welcome. Now all I have to do is take it off repeat 😯😆👍🏾
I was a teenager when this song was released.Never the less, I agree with your comment.The lyrics are relevant in 2023.Kind of frightening.Attitudes from the 1970s are the same as today, yet those trusted to do what the people want have avoided taking action in that fifty year time frame.
Saw these guys live at the L.A. Forum on the "One For The Road" tour. To this day still one of the best shows I ever saw. Happy Anniversary, thanks for all the great music, GOD SAVE THE KINKS!
I saw them at the US Festival 1982. Ray Davies leading the crowd in “day-o” Banana Boat Song chants.
Lola vs Powerman and the Moneygoround is a masterpiece of an album.
I guess you could say that about most of what the Kinks have done.
You gotta love those coats!
Absolute facts and I wish I had one of those coats 😢
One of my favourite albums. About 50 years old. My fav track must be strangers.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
These Afghan coats......smelled a bit sometimes.
I've been dreaming of this upload for years and years ... Cheers!
GOD SAVE THE KINKS 💜💜💜
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Since 1965 🇬🇧 🤗 Thank you kinks. Scranton,p.a. 🇺🇸 🌹 👀 🎶 👻
Ever get over whelmed and know you just need a vacation to get yourself back together? This song is a 3 minute vacation that helps me stay sane and feel better.

This video is perfect. The scene on the bench, with someone in a ratty ape costume is simply sublime.
That's. John Dalton in the ape costume 🤓 RIP 🇬🇧
He’s still alive

I had to stop whatever I was doing to check out this video suggested by youtube! Why not? It's the visualization of one of the greatest songs ever written!
Film clip $10. Jackets $100. Song priceless.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
We all are apemen. Always remember this track. 74 now.😅😅😅😅
right on time for the state of the world right now.
I wasn’t alive when this song came out but just saw it on a movie credit.. it’s fantastic!! I love it!! Interesting.. so very made for todays World!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Old dads!!!! I loved it!
Same
The kinks were so creative their music brings smiles to my face Everytime i listen to them grew up in the sixties great time for music the English invasion was unbelievable 🦅🇺🇸🇬🇧🎸🎵🎶🌞
I don't feel safe in this world no more...indeed Ray.
I first heard this song as a child in the 80s on the film "Club Paradise" with Robin Williams
I swiped through all the comments to say this, but you beat me to it
Gracias Ray por darnos tan buenos momentos con tu música.
Brilliant, observant lyrics as usual.
Heard this song at the end of Old Dads on Netflix love this song it just makes me feel better. I wish they made music like this now.
This popped into my head this morning and decided to play it. My goodness, the sentiments in it could have been written yesterday 🙀😻❤
Beautiful Truth form the fathers of punk.
Yeah, the Beatles and the Stones were always considered as "boring old farts" amongst us Punks, whereas The Kinks were always viewed as Well Respected Men. Long live The Kinks!
@@ForARide I can't say there aren't songs by the stones and beatles I love. I love the kinks tho, almost anything they did was great.... God knows the world would be unbearable beyond what it already is without a huge variety of great sounding music.
@@ForARide Is that so ? maybe for those in the U.S. which the Kinks finally managed to conquer with mid 70s mediocrity.
For the rest of the world the Kinks sadly became passé after 1970. Anyway ,who cares what "us punks" thought about those "boring old farts" ?......All those "punks" will now gladly play Beatles and (old) Stones.
Old Dads brought me here, wow.. this hits hard even in 2023
The man in the ape suit is John Gosling, piano player extraordinaire, who passed away this weekend. God Save The late, great John The Baptist and God Save The Kinks!
😢❤❤❤😢❤❤❤
RIP John "Apeman" Gosling :(
Most relatable song of all time
I grew up with The Kinks! My favourite band then, and still, my favourite band! Still relevant! still brilliant! ❤
Same here - I’m 73 been a fan since 64!
❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Apeman forever❤😂
Just watched Old Dads and this 69 year old dad remembered the song
I love this song so much, The Kinks have been a huge soundtrack for my life!!! Love Apeman, have played The Kinks to our three sons and they love them, especially Apeman and Superman! I love that Ray Davies had to re-record his part so it didn’t sound like “the air pollution is f***ing up my eyes so it wouldn’t sound like f**k, it still sounds like fing, lol!!

Please please get back together for one final run of gigs for your fans 😭😭😭🙏 put aside your differences for those who love you! 😍 IM A KING KONG MAN, IM A VOODOO MAN, IM AN APEMAN!! ❤
Happy Birthday John Dalton born on May 21, 1943. He is a British bass guitar player, best known as a member of the Kinks in 1966 and between 1969 and 1976, replacing original member Pete Quaife. He played with The Kinks throughout the remainder of 1969 and into the 1970s and appeared playing bass on such notable songs as "Victoria", "Lola", "Apeman", "Celluloid Heroes", and "Supersonic Rocket Ship". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dalton_(musician)
Thank you for the music 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶
Thank The Sun for PLANTS 💚🌞
What a witty and truly prophetic song! The Kinks were way up high in hit making and we're synonymous with the 60's!!
great musicvideo, absolut supersong, ❤
truly wonderful lyrics
2:14 That looks like Whitestone Pond in Hampstead Heath, North London. In the mid-eighties, I used to cycle past it twice a day.
I'd forgotten about this song til I heard it at the end of Bad Dads! Brought back a lot of memories!
I come here after I watched Old Dad movie, it's 23:11pm Saturday 28 October 2023, Love this song
same here bud haha
“Official video” lol the production value sure has come a long way since the 70s
I was 7 when i first heard this song and have been a fan for life. In fact about 30 years ago I went to my third Kinks concert and i shook Ray's hand, I didn't wash that hand for days!!!!
ALL WEARING ANIMAL HIDES, oh so modern and so COOL.
doesnt get much better thats a 10/10 imo
much respect The Kinks

Wow I remember this on Top of the Pops.Ran out next day to buy the single.Pity about the fade out!
Have never seen that. So great.
These jackets need to come back before this winter!
@2:15 "I look out the window but I can't see the skies; the air pollution is a-fuckin-up my eyes, I want to get out of this city alive - and make like an apeman"
man, do I ever miss real music videos like this one ❤❤❤🎵
Went to a concert where the Kinks were supposed to play...Sydney Aus ..late 70's....they didn't show...damn it !! Peter Frampton was playing and the place was filled with Frampton look a likes !! UGH !!!! Shoulda been a GREAT night , but we were missing these GENIUSES !!!!!

Happy Earth Day!!
Genius
Childhood favourite for the novelty lyrical value alone
I've gone ape over this song!! 😜😜
Aint they IN Hall of fame of RnR! ❤❤❤
Yes
After watching a reaction video by ‘Rob Squad Reactions’ a couple o days ago, I can’t get this song outta my mind! 😆
I hadn’t heard it in decades, so I’m catchin’ up! 😆
I had 8-track with ‘Apeman’ and a bunch of ‘different’ story telling songs… I wish I still had it.
Hilarious. Great video. Made me laugh
I hope Bill Burr cut a check!!! Timeless music
The yummiest chunkiest guitar parts ever.
Satirical yet relevant
❤
That was one of my favorite songs when I was twelve years old.
They had the music, we have the crisis
exelente
Best video ever
The human race never change 😢
Aye ❤ 🇬🇧👍we sail
I am only 33 and I just heard it on a movie and I had to find it I don't know how I haven't heard it before but I like it
I saw my first Kinks gig in 1967. It was a package tour with The Tremeloes and The Herd at Bournemouth Winter Gardens. I couldn't hear a thing, due to the screaming girls.
Just watched old dads 👍🏽 read the caption lyrics and wanted to immediately watch this.
Brillant fun
brilliant
Fox! Rock's Czar! Rock n Roll!
This song always reminds me of Last Man On Earth 😂
It’s like they wrote it this morning
Dude foreal!
What a time to be young in the 1960s. The influence of 1950s music in America, influenced so many kids in 60s Britain to pick up a guitar. The rest is history as they say
I like that all the primates have a fur coat. The Ape has human hands...is that a statement, or just for convenience?
i laways loved the air pollution line...
🤘🏻
the original return to monke
Watched club paradise and realized how well this song holds up in today climate
