Shock the monkey to life! Redd Metal guarantees no monkeys were harmed in the making of this shocking cache. Metal says there is a killer Ozzie version of this song however Redd prefers Peter Gabriel any day and since she is tasked with writing all the caches, she wins! Redd having been in the Power/Transmission industry for 20 years is electrifyingly drawn to any high voltage power lines and substations. Thus the chosen location, and eventually, the song fell into place too.
According to Wiki: "Shock the Monkey" is a 1982 song by Peter Gabriel. It was released as a single and peaked at number 29 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart. The song was Gabriel's first Top 40 hit in the US. Due to its title and the content of the video, the song is frequently assumed to be an animal rights song. Gabriel himself has described "Shock the Monkey" as "a love song" that examines how jealousy can release one's basic instincts; the monkey is not a literal monkey, but a metaphor for one's feelings of jealousy. Ozzie fans look up his version with coal chamber.
