"Cuckoo" is a single by The Monks. The B-side is "I Can't Get Over You". It marked a softening of their sound, having been pressured to make something more commercial to garner more success. [1] The Monks had disdain towards this single (especially "Cuckoo", which Gary Burger once described as "a dog's ass") but have recently warmed to it after observing favorable audience reaction to it.
