“Gorilla” is a song by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. The song was written by Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, and produced by The Smeezingtons, Emile Haynie, Jeff Bhasker and Mark Ronson who also co-produced two other songs on the album. Gorilla is a rock, soft rock and quiet storm song about making love like wild animals. Mars said that it was “the first song we wrote for this album and it really set the tone for the entire project and it kind of became the mascot”, stating that it was the reason why there’s a gorilla on the cover of the album. Many have compared the song to the unabashedly sex-inspired works by Prince. Musically, the song received mixed to positive reviews from music critics who praised its early 80’s arena rock tendencies fused with power pop hooks, though “Gorilla” has been bashed for its explicit lyrical content.

Bruno Mars – Gorilla Lyrics:
Ooh I got a body full of liquor with a cocaine kicker and I’m feeling like I’m thirty feet tall
So lay it down, lay it down
You got your legs up in the sky with the devil in your eyes
Let me hear you say you want it all
Say it now, say it now
Look what you’re doing, look what you done
But in this jungle you can’t run
Cause what I got for you
I promise it’s a killer, you’ll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla
Ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
Yeah I got a fistful of your hair
But you don’t look like you’re scared
You’re just smiling tell me, ‘daddy it’s yours’
‘Cause you know how I like it you’s a dirty little lover
If the neighbors call the cops, call the sheriff, call the SWAT we don’t stop, we keep rocking while they knocking on our door
And you’re screaming ‘give it to me baby,
Give it to me motherfucker’
Ohhh look what you’re doing, look what you done
But in this jungle you can’t run
‘Cause what I got for you
I promise it’s a killer, you’ll be banging on my chest
Bang bang, gorilla
Ooh, yeah
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
You and me baby, making love like gorillas
I bet you never ever felt so good, so good
I got your body trembling like it should, it should
You’ll never be the same baby once I’m done with you
Oh, you with me baby, making love like gorillas
You and me baby, we’ll be fuckin’ like gorillas
You and me baby, making love like gorillas.
