Watch the movie "Cry Freedom" about Stephen Biko's murder and Donald Woods' subsequent escape from South Africa on New Year's Day. That's the only thing this song is about. It's basically an anti-apartheid song. |

| The Rolling Stones – Monkey Man Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I think you need to look at this song in the context of the entire "Let It Bleed" album and all its country twang. This song is about the Stones coming to the United States and fitting into the mainstream. The Monkey Man IS the Stones, and the Monkey Woman is the United States.This is the only way this line makes sense: "Well, I hope we're not too messianic, or a trifle too satanic. We love to play the blues." They don't want to be thought of as the Beatles, or a bumch of devil worshippers. They're just some guys who like the same music we do. |
