Apropos of nothing, of the many parodies watched while researching the article, this one is probably my favourite. Something about watching the gorilla trying to rock out to Bonnie Tyler just cracks me up. :) GeeJo (t)⁄ (c) • 20:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
To add to the list of favourites in the myriad lampoons, gangsta rap gets represented with 50 Cent - Al.locke ( talk) 05:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of December 11, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far.— Cirt ( talk) 19:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Good work, thank you for addressing my points from above. I feel this article is now of a high enough quality and satisfies the above criteria that I can pass it as a Good Article. I will go ahead and make the various updates. Nice job! Cirt ( talk) 23:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC).
There are probably some relevant WikiProjects that you could add to the top of the talk page. As it stands now, there are none. Cirt ( talk) 23:50, 13 December 2007 (UTC).
Forgot to update this when it first came out, but according to the annual Gunn report, Gorilla was the most awarded commercial of 2008 (backup ref: [1]) GeeJo (t)⁄ (c) • 19:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I'm new to posting editing stuff. However:
The gorilla suit was created by Stan Winston Studios in California and the 'Meerkat of Moorgate'- the City of London's most famous FX trader - Anthony Wood (known in the East End simply as 'Angry Ant') was the man inside it. Once his secret was out, Anthony immediately released his own cover of 'I can feel it coming in the air tonight', with a B side of Tina Turner's Private Dancer, that Rolling Stone magazine called the best thing to happen to music since Victoria Beckham stopped singing.
This is clearly bollocks, and needs to be sorted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.253.214.6 ( talk) 11:19, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Should we subject this article for peer review? Lbertolotti ( talk) 16:34, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
