In January 2006, when the New York Dolls performed "Dance Like A Monkey" on *The Henry Rollins Show*, the band was experiencing a resurgence in their career following the release of their self-titled album in 2004. This album marked their first studio release in over 30 years since their original lineup disbanded in the late 1970s. The New York Dolls were pivotal in shaping the glam rock and punk movements, and their return with fresh music and performances revitalized their legacy. Notably, this live recording showcased the band's energetic performance style, which helped reintroduce their music to a new generation. Additionally, the original members' charisma and the band's influence were highlighted during this period, affirming their status as icons of rock history. The performance represented both a nostalgic nod to their past and a bold step into a contemporary musical landscape.
