Can We Talk About Bristol Palin Dressing Like a Gorilla on Dancing with the Stars?

Sadly, I haven't been following Dancing with the Stars as closely as my esteemed colleague Louis Virtel has -- check here tomorrow to see Louis recap this week's dance-capades with former Dancing with the Stars contestant Erin Andrews -- but it's video like this that make me see the error of my ways. During last night's TV Theme edition of Stars, birthday girl Bristol Palin dressed up in a gorilla suit and performed to the theme from The Monkees. What do gorillas have to do with The Monkees? Is this Bristol's statement on Darwinism? Great questions! Click ahead to watch the video and see if you can figure those out on your own.

I'm reminded of the scene in Trading Places with Jim Belushi: "Monkey? I'm a f**king gorilla, you clown!" Indeed.
