Lyrics are patently wrong. At the time of the events it was still over 500 years before Christianity would come into being!

Monkeys spend their time simply hanging around Among the treetops of Brazil Spider monkeys, wooly monkeys, scoff at the ground They like using their tree-top skill They can scream and shout while they’re larking about Among the branches they are free Crashing through the sunny forest canopy Swinging from tree to tree

We nailed this at Uckfield CC in 1993. The music is brilliant and the lyrics, welded with such skill to the whole. Attenborough narrates with such conviction. So many great moments.

I remember this from school [1972, I think, when I was 13/14]. I remember thinking, even then, that it is not very accurate to describe Daniel and his contemporaries as Christian, as this is an Old Testament story, which took place well over 500 years before the birth of Christ.

Turns out that the original poem was by Vachel Lindsay, so that is who we ought to blame for that error

Boy oh boy! Thanks for posting this. You took me right back to my high school choir's performance of this in 1976. I remember fancying a girl who was "gliding and lovely as a ship on the sea" (in my eyes at least) and a lad who shouted out "Bite" once too often and shattered the silence. Course we all fell about laughing and it was five minutes before we could start again. Grrrrrr!

I remember my primary school performing Yanomomo when I was in year 5 (only the oldest - year 6 - students got to have individual roles in the school play each year, and my sister was one of them - I can't remember what her role was though), which would've been...summer 1992 if I've figured it correctly. All I did here was google the opening line that randomly just popped back into my head after nearly 30 years - "Monkeys spend their time simply hanging about among the treetops of Brazil..." xD

This is an interesting interpretation of the ethnographic research based around the Yanomamo; while the idea that these people are living perfecting in tune with nature and should act as a model for our own civilization it also is missing out entirely on the largely violent aspect of their culture based around arguably reproductive rights, or limited resources.
