about

The children are within listening distance. The middle one likes what he hears. The arms go up. Rigid, apelike, but always on the beat! Originally off our debut album but kind of a band favourite so we re-recorded it.

lyrics

We've got a new fangled dance around these parts,
Listen very closely it's work of art.
Through a little bug it started and it is all the rage,
The primate dance of a monkey in his cage.
Lift you Left Arm up and Put your right Arm down
Lift your Right Arm up and put your Left arm down

Do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
I say Do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
If you can't do The Bop baby, then you can do The Apeman

It's really very simple if you listen what I say,
You can do this dance right now, you can start today.
You don't have to practice or train at all,
Just think of your ancestors having a ball.
Lift your Left Arm up and put your Right arm down
Lift your Right arm up and put your Left arm down

Do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
I say Do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
If you can't do The Stroll baby, then you can do The Apeman

The kids are all doing it from coast to coast
The hottest of the hot man they dig it the most
And when they're snuggled down in their nice warm beds
Their parents do the Apeman right below their heads
They lift their Left Arm up and Put their right Arm down
They lift their Right Arm up and put their Left arm down

Do, do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
I say Do, do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
If you can't do The Hand Jive, then you can do The Apeman
I say Do, do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
I say Do, do, do, do, do, do the Apeman
If you can't do The Madison, then you can do The Apeman

The Dice Cubes Edmonton, Alberta

Rock ‘n’ roll is alive and well! The irresistible beat has been rooted deep in our musical consciousness. This is why The Dice Cubes seem both familiar and shockingly new. The Dice Cubes tap into this vibration while shaping their own distinct beat.
While The Dice Cubes have other styles of music at their fingertips, it is that bedrock pulse laid down in ’57, that resonates through their music! ... more
