Name and location

Kock is located a few kilometers north of the Wieprz river, approximately 150 meters above sea level, near the Łuków Lowland (Równina Łukowska). In 19521954 it was the seat of Gmina Białobrzegi. The town first appears in chronicles in 1258 as Cocsk. In the 15th century, it was called Kocsko or Koczsko, and in 1787, its name was spelled Kocko. Current form has been in use since the 19th century, and the word Kock either comes from the nast name or a nickname Kot (a person named so founded the town), or from a plant called kocanka (Helichrysum arenarium), which grows abundantly in the area.

Go Monkey Go

by: Devo

I'm wound tight hot-wired about to explode
I'm seein' red all hopped up and ready to go
Well I'm hurtin' and I'm searchin' for a place where I can deliver
I wanna scoot so fast that my head snaps back together
It's okay, not okay, it's okay, not okay, it's okay
It's okay, not okay, it's okay, not okay, it's okay
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
Hey tell me, tell me, tell me where to go
Tell me, tell me, tell me, who to see
Tell me, tell me, tell me what to do
To fix what's wrong with me
I'm wound tight hot-wired about to explode
I'm seein' red all hopped up and ready to go
It's okay, not okay, it's okay, not okay, it's okay
It's okay, not okay, it's okay, not okay, it's okay
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
Go monkey go, go monkey go, Mojo Jojo
