FONKEY AS A DONKEY - HUH?


Now way back in the day SAXOMAN played sax in a funk band. One of the many original "hits" we had was a song called Fonkey as a Donkey. Now our flute player wrote and sung this "hit" and all I really remember is the catch phrase that he would repeat throughout the song. It went "I said you be lookin' Fonkey as a Donkey, I said you, be lookin' Fonkey as a Donkey". He would then mutter some other unintelligble lyrics before returning to the Fonkey as a Donkey theme. Now I guess this song was meant to refer to a girl that was shall we say, not very pretty. Hey, I didn't write it or sing it however I did play a sax solo on it. HAHA!
