About
CGI Monkeys Dancing refers a Coldplay music video for the 2015 song "Adventure Of A Lifetime" which features a group of CGI monkeys performing a dance. In August 2016, clips from the video were used to create a Harambe funeral edit and two years later similar edits were made to clips of the video and posted to YouTube and Instagram.

On November 27th, 2015, Coldplay[1] announced the release of the official video (shown below) for "Adventure Of A Lifetime" on Twitter. The announcement gained over 4,400 likes and 3,100 retweets in four years.
