* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth\'s Modesty Blaise score.

\\n\\n

* Then, we have the most obvious crickets/summer night song ever: the fantastic, perpetually delightful Green Arrow from Yo La Tengo\'s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which has soundtracked many crickety summer nights for me over the years.\\xa0

\\n\\n

* The cops roll in to a loop of the very beginning of the epic Ptah, the El Daoud, the title track to Alice Coltrane\'s album from 1970.

\\n\\n

* Then we have a mix of two improvisations from Charles Cohen\'s Brother I Prove You Wrong: Cloud Hands and The Boy and the Snake Dance.

\\n\\n

* There\'s a brief dip into Dorian, by Fang Island.

\\n\\n

* The jaunty accordion, typewriter thing is Biking is Better on Wintergatan\'s eponymous album.

Notes

I researched this one primarily through old newspapers. The easiest place to find a number of them is to read the excellent site, The Museum of Hoaxes\' page on this event. Also: if you\'re in the Atlanta area and ever want to have yourself a day, you can see the actual monkey. It\'s preserved in a jar at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations museum in Decatur Georgia.
