Why?  The noun phrase we want to inflect into AblS is {modus viri}, meaning
"the way/fashion of the man", not {modus vir} ("the man 'Modus'").

How about translating the rest of the song?

Bene, benefac almam meam, quod male me afficit?
Prurio modo viri qui in arbore pilosa est.
Amici mei dicunt me agere truculenter modo oestri.
Inamoratus sum -- commotus sum. U-u-u.... u.... hoc est!  ;-)
