The Song "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" is Silly and Everywhere

You probably don't recognize the title of the song "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys," but you will certainly recognize it when you hear it. It's an instrumental tune that Kevin MacLeod composed ten years ago to evoke a lighthearted, whimsical, and comical mood. MacLeod has made a name for himself (and quite a bit of money) by composing music and releasing it under a Creative Commons license, meaning anyone can use it for any purpose, as long as they give him attribution. Or you can pay him and use it without attribution.

Since the song is royalty-free, millions of users on YouTube, Instagram, and especially TikTok have selected "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" as the background music for their funny videos. It's far from the most annoying TikTok soundtrack, and you can hear it here. Read how "Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" came about and how it's been used all over the internet at NPR. -via Nag on the Lake
