Bobo's Bio; Behind the Monkey:
The early years.
Bobo Da' Monkey III was born on August 29th, 1997. He had a brother, Bilbo, who was a best friend of his, his partner in crime if you will. He grew up happily with his mother, Koods, Bilbo, and Niwt, his baby sister. His father was killed shortly after Niwt's birth, in a freak Tropical spider incident. The death affected him deeply and he became secluded and void of simian contact. This is when he began honing his talents at his infamous and oft copied "Happy Dance." After performing for friends and family, he began to notice humans on the outskirts of his jungle and, ever so curious, began to perform for them. He had achieved quite a following, all of the tree choppers stopping to watch him dance. They befriended him and respected him. Bobo, for the first time in a long time, was happy again. It was then that Bobo would lose his freedom.

Heartbreak.
It was around this time that the Pudding Nazis arrived. They showed up with their guns and tapioca, killing Bobo's tree-chopping friends, and taking him from his family for their own perverse amusement. They forced him into a small, grimy, cage and sent him off to Bosnia. There he was put into an act with a giant gorilla named Shimka, who became a second father and new best friend to him. But still, he was miserable, he enjoyed performing before, but that was for fun, a hobby. Now he was being forced to do tricks, and dance and such and it made him feel dirty. On April 4th, 1999, the Nazis went too far. When Shimka became sick, and couldn't perform properly for more than a week, they shot him in the head, making poor young Bobo watch. Bobo just couldn't take it anymore, he kept performing, but in his free time, he fashioned a knife from a banana an audience member gave him. When his keeper came to force him to perform the next day, Bobo whipped out his newly fashioned stiletto banana and stabbed the man in the chest. Bobo became bloodthirsty and began hunting down Pudding Nazis, not going to stop until he made each and every one bleed to death. He killed about twenty more until they became fully aware of him and surrounded him. A mob of about forty Pudding Nazis began to take pot shots at him, giggling as he slipped in and out of conscience. They lifted his limp form up and tossed him into a nearby garbage bin.

Rescue.
Bobo woke up to a small preadolecent boy searching through the garbage. He would later learn that this boy was John Wright, a very cool kid, and his future savior and best friend. John, discovering Bobo, pulled him out, and gave him a banana from his book bag. Bobo thought of fleeing, no longer trusting humans, but sensed kindness in the boy's heart. They connected immediately, and proceeded to sneak into the Pudding Nazi camp, using their own weapons against them, defending the name of Shimka. It took many small assualts, but they eventually put the Nazis into a panicked frenzy, and the party disbanded. John took Bobo home with him back to Illinois after discovering that Bobo's family were murdered in their sleep. He couldn't bear to tell him, and kept it a secret. Now Bobo would leave his past behind and move on to greener pastures.
Fame.
John became Bobo's talent agent, and being friends with the band members of the popular Flaming Udders, assigned him as their much needed cover boy/monkey. They wrote many of their hits at this time, based on Bobo, including "Did Somebody Say Bobo Da' Monkey?" "Monkey in your Pocket" and "Ook, Bobo Did It Again." Following that, John got Bobo in cameos on TV shows as waiters, butlers, and the such, but believing Bobo was designed for better things, John is rumored to be writing a part for Bobo as himself in John's upcoming pic, "Kato and J-dog." Bobo is currently starring in "Ook!:The Movie" and models for Banana Republic in his free time. By the way, Bobo now sleeps on a ppile of cash.
