I remember first hearing this song while listening to WarioWare DIY's soundtrack. There's an easter egg in the game that lets you change the editor music to Mario Paint tracks. Monkey Song, which was a Mario Paint song, was included into DIY's OST, which led me to finding it.
This song came to my head while I was thinking of new songs to remix. I thought since I was able to remix Creative Exercise, I could also remix this song as well since they're both kind of bossa nova-esque songs. tho Monkey Song seems to lean more on the Latin side of bossa nova than Creative Exercise does.
also, for some reason, the Pipa instrument (Chinese guitar thingie at 0:49) works surprisingly well with both songs (I used one for creative exercise, too). I thought this was kind of interesting since Eastern-sounding instruments usually don't appear in jazzy/bossa nova stuff that often, so it was cool hearing how fitting the two can sound together.
