I was around 20 when the Beastie Boys' turned this song loose, so, of course we tracked some down. shite tasted like lemon-lime Gatorade to me. One time experience.

Oh, I literally could drink a quart of monkey and still stand still.

Was it suppose to make you move around or something? Not familiar with it.

I always took the line to mean not be drunk enough to stagger at all.

Isn't it just rum, vodka and orange juice?

ETA: or does it come in a bottle labled Brass Monkey?

Don't know. We bought this sample in a liquor store in a bottle specifically labeled "Brass Monkey".

I remember drinking something a guy called Brass Monkey -- you took a quart of cheap beer, drank it down to the label and filled up the bottle with Sunny D.

According to this, Brass Monkey also refers to premade cocktails sold in bottles.

Malt liquor 40, down to the label, add OJ, roll it to mix.

Explanation of the Beastie Boys' version.

I've never seen it in a can. Of course, after that night I never sought it out again.

i have tried both the oj/malt liquor version and the kind you could buy in bottles.

None of it was tasty.

You want a drink like brass monkey that tastes good. Try a strip and go naked

1 can of lemonade (pink is best)
1 can of vodka (from lemonade)
3 beers, preferrably cheap

Tastes really good, and well you strip and go naked.

That live clip brings back memories of how shitty rap concerts were.
