Shock the monkey.


Is it about wanking? If so, please explain

all i know is that i dig the song...

what it's about... beats me.

Oh, i thought u were talking about "Shock Dat Monkey" by TLC 4 some reason, i guess i was terribly wrong.

I think it has something to do with this:

Example 1: from Richard Deming, Sleep: Our Unknown Life (1972)

Original (with selected passages underlined):

Unlike human subjects, animal subjects in the sleep laboratory obviously cannot be awakened and asked what they were dreaming. So until relatively recently it was impossible to state with absolute certainty that any animal actually dreamed. Then, by a happy accident, experimenters obtained pretty solid evidence that at least one animal has dreams.

A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh was attempting to find out if sleep loss would cause hallucinations (or microsleep dreams, if Dr. Ralph Berger's theory is correct) in monkeys, as it did in human beings. The initial procedure was to strap each monkey to a chair inside what had originally been a telephone booth. A projection screen was placed directly in front of the monkey, and colored slides were periodically shown on it. Each time a slide was projected, the monkey received an electric shock unless it repeatedly pressed a bar in front of it.

All the monkeys used in the experiment quickly learned to avoid the shock by pressing the bar. They pressed it on an average of fifty times a minute whenever an image appeared on the screen.

After a monkey had learned its lessons and had been thoroughly deprived of sleep, the researchers fitted it with contact lenses that dimmed its vision without completely blinding it. They left the screen in place, but projected no more slides onto it. Then they waited for the monkey to develop hallucinations and start pressing the bar.

Unfortunately for the purposes of the experiment, all the animals went to sleep. Each time they put a different monkey in the converted telephone booth, the same thing happened. Finally, as the experimenters ruefully watched one of the monkeys through the viewing window, it passed into deep sleep, then back up into REM sleep -- and suddenly, in its sleep, began furiously pressing the lever.

Obviously the monkey was seeing images in its sleep, which could only mean that it was dreaming. Therefore, while the experiment failed in its initial purpose, it did prove something equally important -- that at least one animal, the monkey, has dreams during sleep.

Summary:

Definite evidence of dreams in any animal is only recent. In an experiment on hallucinations caused by sleep loss, monkeys had to press a bar to avoid shock when slides, shown periodically, appeared. Trained in this manner, the monkeys were deprived of sleep, had their vision dimmed, and were placed before the screen, but no slides were projected. Although falling into REM sleep, one monkey repeatedly pressed the bar, apparently seeing images and, therefore, dreaming.

WOW! Now thats some good info. I was waiting foe Icenine to chime in but yours is much better.
