    King Kong is a 2005 epic monster film co-written, produced, and directed by Peter Jackson. A remake of the 1933 film of the same name, the film stars Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody, and, through motion capture, Andy Serkis as the title character. Set in 1933, King Kong tells the story of an overly ambitious filmmaker who coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to the mysterious Skull Island. There they encounter Kong, a legendary giant gorilla, whom they capture and display in New York City, with tragic results.

    The film's budget climbed from an initial US$150 million to a then-record-breaking $207 million. It was released on December 14, 2005 in Germany and on December 16 in the United States, and made an opening of $50.1 million. While it performed lower than expected, King Kong made domestic and worldwide grosses that eventually added up to $550 million, becoming the fourth-highest grossing film in Universal Pictures history. It also generated $100 million in DVD sales upon its home video release. The film garnered generally positive reviews from critics and appeared on several "top ten" lists for 2005, though some reviewers criticized it for its three-hour running time. It won three Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects.

    Kong

    by: Night Ranger

    Oh, no, I got that funky feeling
    I just slipped out of a Coupe de Ville
    Scrape me off the ceiling
    Oh yeah, too good to believe in
    Rubber lover tugging on a daisy chain
    Going coming, here I go again
    In the middle of the evening
    So damn sweeter
    I got a penny in my pocket
    To release that child within you
    I don't want no one night stand
    Jump into the fire from the frying pan
    King Kong had a perfect plan
    Got to get a woman
    I've had a Barbie doll, I've done it all
    Short ones tall ones big and small
    But King Kong, baby, he had a ball
    That's my kind of living
    Oh yeah, why am I complaining?
    I got money and I'm funny
    And I'm semi-good looking
    Keeps me good and lucky
    Sometimes
    I feel like Sodom and Gomorrah
    But I tell you pretty mama
    I could use a little more of you, you, you, you
    About two in the morning
    I get so damn easy
    Let your fingers do the walking
    And it won't take much to please me
    I don't want no one night stand
    Jump into the fire from the frying pan
    King Kong, baby, he had a plan
    Got to get a woman
    I had a Barbie doll, I've done it all
    Short ones, tall ones, big and small
    But King Kong, baby, he had a ball
    That's my kind of living
    Why can't I have it all?
    I just wanna have some kinda fun
    Why can't I have it all?
    Can it be over when it's just begun?
    I need it, I want it, I'm frantic, I gotta have it
    Automatic, manic, addict, democratic
    About two in the morning
    It gets so damn easy
    Let my fingers do the walking
    And the others do the talking
    About the way and how to please me
    I don't want no one night stand
    Jump into the fire from the frying pan
    King Kong, baby, he had a plan
    Got to get a woman
    I had a Barbie doll, I've done it all
    Short ones, tall ones, big and small
    But King Kong, baby, he had a ball
    That's my kind of living
    Yeah, that's my kind of living
