(At least the government of Chile recognizes it as the effects of human induced climate change.) Another verse is inspired by the ISIS destruction of ancient artifacts in Syria using sledgehammers and bulldozers. I guess you could say the song is about human induced destruction of everything.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Araucaria araucana &#8212; commonly called the monkey puzzle tree<br \/>\nThe origin of the popular English language name &#8216;monkey puzzle&#8217; derives from its early cultivation in Britain in about 1850, when the species was still very rare in gardens and not widely known. Sir William Molesworth, the proud owner of a young specimen at Pencarrow garden near Bodmin in Cornwall was showing it to a group of friends, one of them \u2013 the noted barrister and Benthamist Charles Austin remarked, &#8220;It would puzzle a monkey to climb that&#8221;. [Because it takes a 1,000 years for them to grow, young specimens are tiny.] As the species had no existing popular name, first &#8216;monkey puzzler&#8217;, then &#8216;monkey puzzle&#8217; stuck. &#8212; Wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Daniel &#8212; Guitar, Vocals<\/p>\n<p>From the album <a href=\"http:\/\/camelot.kingarthur.com\/Daniel-Brouse\/You-Are-Getting-Warmer\/\"><strong><em>You Are Getting Warmer<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby <a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/\">Daniel Brouse<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LYRICS Up in smoke Ain&#8217;t no joke Did you see the calamity Of the puzzle monkey tree?
