Last week, I posted a preview of the new Recess Monkey disc wrapped around an interview with bassist Jack Forman. Or was it the other way around – an interview wrapped around an album preview. Whatever.
Now, I’ve managed to wrestle “The Final Funktier” official tracklist, complete with song notes, away from Mayor Monkey – the band’s manager.
Are you prepared for “the weirdest song Recess Monkey has ever written”? I so totally am.

“The Final Funktier” tracklist – here goes:
- Lift Off – The excitement is building…
- Moon Boots – Let’s face it, Uggs
are just a 21st century version of the world’s coolest and least practical footwear of our youths!
