About this album

Monkeys for Nothin’ and the Chimps for Free is the sixth studio album from Reel Big Fish, and their first studio album since being dropped by Jive Records. It was released on July 10, 2007.
The CD is accompanied with a 22 minute DVD of the “Making of Monkeys for Nothin’ and the Chimps for Free”. According to the documentary, this album was originally proposed as a fourth disc to the band’s live album, but the band had decided they had enough live material and so decided to this album as a compilation of B-sides and re-recordings alongside some new songs. This documentary also contains footage of the band mixing a song which does not appear on the final album, about 20 minutes into the video. The song would later be released (without vocals) as a bonus track for A Best Of Us… For The Rest Of Us.
The vinyl was made available on the Spring 2008 tour and was limited to 1000 units. Each album was split amongst two discs, the first a picture disc and the second a light green vinyl.
The title is a mondegreen of the line “Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free” from the Dire Straits song “Money for Nothing.”
