"Monsters in the Parasol" is a song that appears as the sixth track on the 2000 album Rated R by hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age.

The song originally appeared on The Desert Sessions, , under the slightly different title of "Monster in the Parasol". This marked the second time a Desert Sessions song was rerecorded and placed on a Queens of the Stone Age album, following on from Avon's usage on their self titled debut.

Josh Homme recently revealed to XFM that the lyrics are about an incident when he took LSD with his friend Paul, who features frequently in the song.

"Paul's dad is warped and bubbling, oh well"

"Paul's sister is an alien, oh well"

Music Video

Despite not being released as a single, Monsters in the Parasol had a video made for it. The promo itself depicts a man in drag on a mission to rescue a puppy from a gang who apparently stole it. The video was directed by Peter Care, who also made "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys", a film Homme produced songs for.
