This is a reference to the minor controversy that brewed among Monk fans over the introduction of the new theme song It's A Jungle Out There written and performed by Randy Newman in the second season of Monk.
Kenny Rogers included it on his multi-million selling Love Songs album in 1997. The vocals are commonly misattributed to Louis Armstrong. The song is used as the theme of the British comedy TV series As Time Goes By. The song was performed by American Idol finalist John Stevens (singer) during season 3. KISS drummer Peter Criss sang the intro to this track as a hidden bonus track on his 1980 solo album Out of Control.
