Code Monkey Like Fritos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the catchy-songs-in-your-head dept.

Greyjack writes "Jonathan Coulton's latest song in his thing-a-week series, Code Monkey, is an anthem for under-appreciated developers everywhere. From the song: 'Code Monkey get up get coffee / Code Monkey go to job / Code monkey have boring meeting, with boring manager Rob / Rob say Code Monkey very diligent / But his output stink / His code not functional or elegant / What do Code Monkey think?' Like virtually everything he does, he's released it under a Creative Commons license -- go forth, download, and share the goodness!" Update: 04/23 19:23 GMT by SM: Several users have also provided a torrent.

    I listened to this song just as I was reviewing my login page code for a project that's behind schedule :(

    At least now I have a cool song to rock out to while I check my project into cvs :D

    Do code monkeys talk like fucking cavemen?


    Okay, Mister I'm-pissed-off-because-my-sense-of-humour-has-gone -missing, I'll explain it to you: monkeys don't actually talk at all. However, it's hard to express humorous lyrics using only grunting and screeching, so the author tried to imagine what monkeys might sound like if they were able to talk, and came up with a form of pidgin English that resembles what some people imagine cave to sound like.

    I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.

    Soo...

    Code Monkey puts up with crap at work (that's pretty much par for the course). He tries to socialize with the receptionist, who turns him down. Ok. Then, he sits there and ponders the moment like some kind of weird stalker.

    Glad I'm not Code Monkey then :-)

    Code Monkey look at your picture
    Code Monkey concentrate
    When nobody is looking
    Code Monkey (it starts with "m")

    Rob see Code Monkey's cube
    Rob see Code Monkey's piece
    Rob open up his cell phone
    Rob call up the police!

    Code Monkey sit in cell
    Until the day he die
    Rob ("f" rhymes with duck) the girl at front desk
    Code Monkey only cry

    I kind of dislike this song.
