Additional:

*Fairy tale "Monkey, who lost his tail" exists in the folklore of many nations, and one story is very different from each other by details in the story. But in all versions of the tale is the same basic idea - a stupid monkey could not understand what she had to change and to get, and losing something very important for himself. In the Portuguese version of the tale, which originally came to the continent from Angola, the monkey loses his tail, but left with guitar.

That verse of the song what singing the monkey:

"I took my tail for a razor,

took the knife for sardines,

took sardines for flour,

took the flour for a girl

took the girl for a shirt

took the shirt for a guitar

Frum-frum-fruuum, I am off to Angola!"
