Playing Weekend ALT Anthems to Lure Escaped Primates Back Home

South Carolina’s Lowcountry is on the lookout for some unusual “neighbors” this week—more than 40 escaped rhesus macaques! After a breakout from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Beaufort County, authorities are urging residents to lock doors, shut windows, and keep an eye out for any curious little primates wandering by.

To help bring our furry fugitives back home, the ALT has a plan: let the music do the talking! This weekend, we’re cranking up a special “Monkey Playlist” with the monkeys running the entire show!

Here’s what’s on the setlist:

Pixies, “Monkey Gone To Heaven”

Beastie Boys, “Brass Monkey”

Foo Fighters, “Monkey Wrench”

Tones And I, “Dance Monkey”

Beck, “Loser”

Gorillaz, “Clint Eastwood”

Yemassee residents, if you spot one of our primate pals, please don’t approach or try to make friends! Just call 911 to report the sighting. But for everyone else, tune in, turn it up, and enjoy some good old-fashioned monkey business on the airwaves! 🐒🎸
