[blockquote]A British zoo aiming to bolster its population of endangered monkeys hired a Marvin Gaye impersonator to visit the enclosure and croon love songs.

The Trentham Monkey Forest in Stafford, England, said David Largie, an experienced Marvin Gaye impersonator, performed selections from the soul legend's catalog including "Let's Get It On" and "Sexual Healing" inside the Barbary macaque habitat.[/blockquote]

Who the hell thought this would work? Fairly sure there's no Marvin Gaye impersonators to help them get it done in the wild.

Poor dude. What must that have done to his self image?

Wait... they have a black guy singing to monkeys and nobody is screaming racism?

I've never heard of Marvin Gaye. Unfortunate name and most certainly the Gaye boy was never harassed at school.

Marvin is an icon of the golden age of soul music with hits like "Let's Get It On" and "Sexual Healing". He died back in the mid 80s. The term "gay" wasn't really used back when he was a kid.

Right? He might have turned into just another thug. I hear Otis became the success he did because kids teased him by calling him coitus. I could be wrong about that but it would explain a lot.

I don't think that was the Otis Kreeper was referring to.

Gawd.
