15 Songs I'm Digging Right Now: #31
Did anyone else watch the Julius The Monkey video shorts in the early 2000s?
"Bubbles" - The Free Design (1970)

I have to briefly talk about my history with The Free Design. Please pardon me while I go Full Millennial Child of the Internet for a second:
Did anyone else watch the Julius the Monkey video shorts? It was this little web series from the lifestyle brand Paul Frank. I watched them religiously in middle school. The only episode that stuck in my memory featured the three main characters in a dreamlike sequence set to this super vocal-heavy a cappella track. Then, thirteen years later, in 2018, I heard the song “Bubbles” and went, Wait… is this the group from that Julius the Monkey video???
Is this a boring story? Is anyone enjoying this? Please comment if you know what I’m talking about.
"The Holy Cave" - Clap! Clap! (2014)
Spotify | Apple | YouTube Music | TIDAL
Love the percussion in this one. To me, this is a very ~vibes~ song that would work nicely as a song playing in the background of a summer evening dinner.
