Music of the Scopes Monkey Trial

 “You Can’t Make a Monkey Out of Me” is the title of one song written about the Scopes Trial, making fun of that serious legal case in 1925. That and other Scopes songs will come to life again in a special program July 25 at the Rhea County Courthouse.

As part of the final day of the 37^th annual Scopes Trial Play & Festivities, Dr. Mel Wilhoit will take a light-hearted look at some of the music written about the case in a talk titled “‘You Can’t Make a Monkey Out of Me:’ Music of the Scopes Monkey Trial.”
