The High Monkey - Monk

[curetwins]

did this title come from the THREE STOOGES short 'OUTER SPACE JITTERS'?

to be honest we don't know where the title comes from as i don't think liz has ever mentioned the origin of it in an interview or an article anywhere. but you can check the cocteau twins dictionary on this website (select 'speak no evil' from the menu on the left, click on dictionary) to see what my guess is.

The only place ive ever heard that phrase is in a suzanne vega song
something like "youll be the monk whose forehead is high", havent got a clue what that means though sorry ...
