T'pau perform 'Monkey House' live at Hammersmith Odeon London, March 1988. From their 1987 album 'Bridge Of Spies'. Be sure to check out the promo for Carol Deckers new single 'Just Dream' here on youtube.
lol - i'm a girl, + also a virgo like carol, i went through some difficult things in my early '20s, & one of the things that got me through were these songs, that kept me sane & gave me reassurance in myself! x
i was there the night this was filmed with somebody that i really shouldn't have been with ! was crapping myself that her infidelity would be forever captured on celluloid ! anyway the gig was so awesomt that we soon stopped worrying and just rocked out with carol and the boys ..
totally agree (great lyrics) - best song on their first album. "secret garden" best song on the second album & "walk on air" best song on third album. x

"Monkeyhouse" lyrics. 🤘🎤🎸
In the healthy, wealthy state of Mental Hygiene
We will teach you how to think a clean way
There'll be no more dirty looks
And no more dirty books
Now for your own good, we will take the choice away
There is a limit in the state of Mental Hygiene
To the difference of opinion we can allow, oh yeah
Now we must close an open mind
If it's open to a different kind
Well, how can you hurt us if we:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House, house tonight
Now we can make or break your mind
With Mental Hygiene
And you will see things in the way we think you should
Oh yeah
In the quiet of the night
The first cut is the deepest in the fight
How can you blame us if we:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House
We're gonna take you
We're gonna wash you whiter than white
In the Monkey House
Oh yeah!
Woh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woh, ooh, ooh, woh
In the quiet of the night
You can hear your own heart beating
In the quiet of the night
We'll take your breath away
Now you're gonna listen to the things we say
We gotta:
Clean up in the Monkey House tonight
Oh yeah, you're gonna be alright
We clean up in the Monkey House
We're gonna take you
We're gonna wash you whiter than white
In the Monkey House tonight
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha yeah!
We clean up in the Monkey House

Anyone at the Hammersmith gig that was cancelled due to Carol’s sore throat?
perhaps even "monkey house" is a metaphor for the "grubby-minded"?

What Pat Benatar had Carol Decker had.
whatever happened to dean the guitarist or mike keyboard player i sometimes wonder? they were great x
Apparently Mike lives in Shrewsbury his keyboards are genius on there No one hit "China in there hands'.
Dean is in the band, Cats in Space, an excellent band.
Great song, but i prefered Wendy James :)
Oh yeah, Wendy James! What a time to be a teenage lad that was!
She's hot for sure. But that's a bit much!
