For clarification if anyone still does not know, DBZ's Goku is based off the monkey, or the Monkey King from Chinese Mythology. Look up 'Sun Wukong' if you still don't get it.

The vocal from the white goddess is taken from the track "Monkey Bee" from the Monkey: Journey to the West opera. The track on this video, in and of itself, however, is an original Damon Albarn work, and is not found elsewhere... Unfortunately.
