Monkey Gone to Heaven is a song by Pixies which its cryptic lyrics which many have tried to interpret are, according to the band, meant to be surreal and meaningless, built around the title. A common speculation is that they are lyrics of an environmentalist stance. Legend has it that the title was changed from "Junkie Gone To Heaven" at the insistence of the record company. (thanks, Brian - West Milford, NJ) This is the only Pixies song to use a string section and the first to use outside musicians: 2 cellists and 2 violinists. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 3)
