Line 57:
* The 1986 musical ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' features a cymbal-banging monkey as the topper of a music box.
* ''Woyzeck''/''Blood Money'' involves one of these, and even gives it a song ("Misery is the River of the World"). It was voiced by [[Tom Waits]].
* [[BSOD Song|The Bride's Lament]] from ''[[The Drowsy Chaperone]]'' -- otherwise—otherwise known as "The Monkey Song." In keeping with the way this musical stretches a gag, puts roller skates on it, then attaches jet engines, the climax of the song involves an entire chorus of "monkeys" in their little red vests clashing real cymbals over the final chords.

Line 78:
* In ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Sam & Max Episode 101: Culture Shock]]'', a monkey serves as the form reader for Brady Culture's "Home" for Former Child Stars.
* There's a weapon in ''[[Ratchet and Clank|Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time]]'' called the Chimpinator...if you use it on a robotic enemy, they turn into this.
* Starting with Map Pack 3 in ''[[Call of Duty]] World at War'' through ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Call of Duty Black Ops]]''' "FIVE" features a [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]] strapped with C4 (called the Monkey Bomb) as a distraction device for the players to use. It is replaced by the Gersch Device in First Strike's Ascension.
** The ''Annihilation'' DLC map "Shangri-La" features the return of the Monkey Bomb as the distraction weapon.
