Me and a Monkey on the Moon is the tenth and final album by British alternative rock band Felt, released in 1989.

Recording

The album was recorded at ICC Studios in Eastbourne between 5 and 14 August 1989, after earlier demos had been recorded in Brighton. Lawrence, Martin Duffy and Gary Ainge had moved to Brighton from Birmingham in 1988; but as Marco Thomas had remained in the Midlands, Robert Young from Primal Scream was invited to play bass on the recording. B. J. Cole visited the sessions for a day to add the pedal steel guitar heard on the tracks "I Can't Make Love to You Anymore" and "New Day Dawning".^[2]
