Who can forget “King Kong” (1933 original film)? The big ape who fell in love with a human 1/10th his size. Tito recalls watching the movie and being stunned by King Kong’s reaction to a whiff of the pretty human’s fragrance. Strange instruments wail in the middle eight where tumbling tom toms tribe-ally dance behind the chants of “Kong.”
King Kong was very hip, part of the first
big screen, interspecies relationships
When he touch Faye Ray and smelt his finger
His beady eyes wiggled with delight
wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle all night
They had to cut the scene that was shot
after that - that’s right
King Kong
King Kong’s life did cease
But it wasn’t the planes that got ’em
’twas beauty killed the beast
