Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free is the sixth studio album from Reel Big Fish, their first studio album after being dropped by Jive Records and their final album with bassist Matt Wong. The CD is accompanied with a 22-minute DVD of the "Making of Monkeys for Nothin' and the Chimps for Free". According to the documentary, this album was originally proposed as a fourth disc to the band's live album, but the band had decided they had enough live material and so decided to do this album as a compilation of B-sides and re-recordings alongside some new songs. This documentary also contains footage of the band mixing a song which does not appear on the final album, about 20 minutes into the video. The song would later be released as a bonus track for A Best of Us for the Rest of Us. The title is a pun on the line "Money for nothin' and your chicks for free" from the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing."
