Bizarre Song
I remember a 1970's song called Jungle Rock, where the members of the band dressed up as Monkeys, Lions etc. It was really bizarre and a very poor song but very funny (especially after a couple of beers). Does anyone know who sang it and where I could find a copy of the song ?

The song in question was by one Hank Mizell, exponent of the alternately fashionable / obscure (currently the latter) style known as 'rockabilly'. The genre is most famous for generating the talents of Elvis Presley, and thousands of lesser talents.
Hank was delighted to enjoy the crest of a briefly fashionable wave when his 1958 song 'Jungle Rock' elevated him into 'Top Of The Pops' status in 1976, complete with seriously naff costuming by the musicians involved. On the strength of the hit single, an album of the same name was released, and is still available. Contact your local record store who will either stock it, or order it for you.
