MONKEYPOX's long, strange story really began when Johnson Jackson, already a solo singing sensation in Guinea, met Junior Bevel at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. Bevel was competing as a member of the first Arubian bobsled team, whose triumph is well documented in the film "Cold Running". The two became great friends and wrote a book together. The book was a smash success, but tragically the two were kidnapped by a group of French radicals while on a European press junket for the book. One of the radicals, an orphan named Maurier Debbouze, took pity on the celebrities and helped orchestrate their escape. This put the Frenchman at odds with the radicals, and a price is on his head to this day. In order to stay afloat and under the radar, the trio traveled the European countryside performing as a mariachi band.
Sometime in 1999 a Spaniard overheard the group and approached them. His name was Santiago Sanchez. At the time, his English was not good, so when he asked if he could join in on a harmony, he was not understood and politely ignored. Despite this rejection, Sanchez followed the band across Europe for several months until they decided to put him behind a drum kit. Thus, MONKEYPOX was born.
Honing their skills, first as a Rockabilly act, then as a New Age, studio-only group, and finally settling on a hybrid of Country, House, Bachata and the Blues, the group was discovered by Father Bloopy of Dippy Records and signed immediately. Their debut album, "Hey, That's MY Wife! Get Your Own!", went Platinum in 13 countries and heralded the birth of Poxmania. The follow up album, "For Lovers Only", did the debut one better, introducing the banjo styling of Red Redding. It sold 57 million copies in the U.S. alone, making MONKEYPOX the best selling musical group of all time. The band has spent the years fast becoming the premier live act all over the world, and in the Summer of 2004, began it's AAAHHH!!! Tour, which was the most elaborately staged concert of all time. Costing 250 million dollars to put together, the production included elephants, pyrotechnics, motorcycle jumps, a troupe of singing mice, cotton candy and floating platforms for the band to play on that circle around the arena.
2005 saw the band prepare to re-release their debut album as a 5th anniversary celebration. Unfortunately, the band could not secure the original masters, and instead opted to re-record the debut and add a few surprises. The band was dealt a cruel blow, however, when their drummer Santiago Sanchez was murdered in cold blood by a French radical who mistook Sanchez for Monkeypox guitarist Maurier Debbouze. A huge wake was held in Spain for the slain musician, and during this time, Junior Bevel encountered a Saudi Arabian reporter by the name of Ahmed Imo-Tep covering the story. He overheard the reporter tapping on his notepad with a pen, and his remarkable sense of rhythm struck Bevel in a very weird way. Imo-Tep was immediately recruited as the new drummer for Monkeypox. This new outfit decided to fulfill their promise to remake the album, and history was made.
The re-recording was a smash success, winning the group a whole new set of fans. To show some appreciation to the fans for the overwhelming response to their work, Monkeypox wrote and recorded a four track solo EP for each member in one week. The resulting 16 track album "We Are Monkeypox" was a success.
This was followed by a few non-album singles and climaxing in the film "In Limbo" starring all members of the band and the accompanying soundtrack. The band currently is out of commission, sadly. Johnson Jackson is releasing a book of poems entitled "What Is Your Name?", Maurier has his first full length solo album of secular music entitled "Rock And Roll", Junior is currently in an Aruba jail for charges still unknown and has filed an appeal but managed to release a "Greatest Hits" album in May 2007 and Ahmed is on the lam in Idaho trying to orchestrate 27 simultaneous divorces. Please continue to support Monkeypox and its varied past and future! We know they need all the support they can get. I'M A MONKEY!!!!!!!!!!

PROMO FILM for "Foreign Girls". Dir. Maurier Debbouze (with help from John Kane)
Ok so now is the time, better now then never to tell you the truth about what all girls have on their mind and how they lie when they say that size does not matter. Take it from me, I am living proof that can confirm for you that the size and thickness of your prick does mean so much to all girls and if you can not satisfy a girl like the guys with big meatpoles do, then they will find a guy who can.
My bro Sammy heard about these enlarge pills on myspace a few months back and he ordered like nine bottles of the stuff, I know cause I found them stashed under his bed and he caught me snooping then told me all about his secret and that they made him grow almost 3 inches in two months and it got real thick too. He got them from this site just copy and paste it in your browser. DTOGA.COM
Best of all, the pills do work, Sam is living proof and I have no reason to lie for him, all the girls surround him now like he is some celeb, and he says its all cause of these little goodies from DTOGA.CO Oh ya, just so you know, they guarentee that the pills work on any man or you get whatever you paid right back, so instead of thinking about doing it, just go to DTOGA.COM now and show the ladies what you are made of.
