By the way, Val, a gibbon isn't an ape, it's a monkey.

No, gibbons are actually apes, belonging to the family genus Hylobatidae. Classed as lesser apes because they're smaller than great apes (obviously!) Gorillas, Chimpanzees, Bonobos, Orangutans Humans etc.

I checked beforehand, as i was going to nominate a different track by Billy F Gibbons.

More worryingly, it does mean that the novelty song by The Goodies, also qualifies!

Fair enough. I was assuming it was only the great apes as it says Hominoidean species in Duke's nomination.

I do like a nice clear result. For a while there were a lot of 7 and 8s.

1st place: Sussex with 20 votes for Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man
2nd place: Sussex again with 15 votes for Bonobo
3rd place: Helen with 14 votes for Red Zebra

You'll have to partake more often Sussex! Your tastes have obviously struck a chord.

Only one wooded spoon - for Nervous Norvus and KJS, a poster who features more often on the podium.
