"My Monkey" is the twelfth track on the 1994 release Portrait of an American Family. Several verses were taken from "Mechanical Man" written and performed by Charles Manson in 1968. The earliest recording of this song dates back to the band's The Beaver Meat Cleaver Beat cassette tape, released in 1990. Portrait of an American Family is the debut full-length studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on July 19, 1994 in the US through Nothing and Interscope Records. It was produced by the band's frontman and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. The album was initially known as The Manson Family Album—a direct reference to serial killer Charles Manson's own band—but was retitled prior to release. It is the first and only Marilyn Manson studio album that bassist Gidget Gein plays on. Gein was fired from the band after its production following a very public and destructive heroin addiction and Twiggy Ramirez, the band's groupie and friend of Gein and Manson, was put as a temporary replacement while Gein got clean and sober. He eventually took over Gein's place, becoming a Gein clone. Contrary to popular belief, Ramirez did not play bass on the album. Though Sara Lee Lucas was the featured drummer on the album, Nine Inch Nails live keyboardist Charlie Clouser used a drum machine to replace the work Lucas did. Daisy Berkowitz helped compose music for all of the songs except "Prelude (The Family Trip)" and "Sweet Tooth." The Pure Music Factory Do you have a love for music? A passion?
