"Dance Like a Monkey" is one of the fresh songs on One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This, the 2006 comeback that gave the New York Dolls their first album of original material since Too Much Too Soon in 1974. The old partnership is still pulling the strings: Sylvain Sylvain wrote the music, David Johansen the words. Jack Douglas produced and mixed it, Blake Douglas and Jay Messina engineered, and Colin Douglas added percussion and congas.
The resurrection started when Morrissey got the surviving originals, Johansen, Sylvain and Arthur Kane, to reunite for the 2004 Meltdown Festival in London. Kane died of leukemia shortly after, so Sami Yaffa took over on bass when the band went back into the studio. Roadrunner put the album out in July 2006, and most critics liked what they heard.
