The Monkeys in the Zoo Have More Fun Than Me

The Monkeys in the Zoo Have More Fun Than Me is the second studio album of Jape released by Trust Me I'm a Thief Records in 2004.

The album included the single "Floating", a song later covered by Brendan Benson of The Raconteurs and the Belgian bastard pop duo Soulwax during their DJ sets.

[1] "Floating" was famously overheard being played in Whelan's in Dublin by the musician Brendan Benson who immediately requested a copy of the album.

[5] Benson then praised Jape in The Guardian (however, the newspaper spelt it "Jabe"[5]) and rang the song's writer to inform him he would be covering "Floating" with his band The Raconteurs.

[7] A remix collection of "Floating" was released as a single on 4 June 2007 through the Marine Parade label of Adam Freeland.
