Monkey Casino is the name of a Babyshambles track, released as a B Side to Fuck Forever, that is also known under many other, different titles. Usually Doherty would just add a word onto the end of the name "Pipey" ("Pipey Magregor"/"Pipey O'Brady"/"Pipey Magraw"/"Pipey O'Hooley"/"Pipey O'Tootdle" etc.) This track also borrows lyrics from another song recorded by The Libertines, called "Bilo Song." Before the song was recorded and released by Babyshambles, in 2005, it was usually played acoustically by Doherty.

The lyric, "You know that one's too many and a hundred ain't enough" is lifted from the 1945 Billy Wilder film The Lost Weekend, in which the desperate life of an alcoholic is followed through a four day drinking bout. A barman in the film says, "One's too many, and a hundred's not enough."

I don't wanna cause any rifts but I was actually asked many moons ago if I thought Pete Doherty was a better songwriter than Carl Barat and I quote "SO you really think Petes a better songwriter than Carl?" now imagine that coming from a cockney whos northern when e's down south, and Cockney when he comes up here (North-West) I felt like a stooge in one of them conformity experiments for a brief 3 second period as the honesty poured from my my mouth,I'd already almost told him by my side-rearing glance "yeah, a do." but then I never was assertive about musical taste you like what u like I suppose it doesn't define you so only represents a small portion of your personality and values imo.
