Wren on :
I...I...don't get it. Is this one of those 'you have to work in an office' kinds of things? I didn't particularly think Office Space was the Best Movie Ever either.
Monday, April 24. 2006Code Monkey not crazy, just proud
I can't describe in words how much amusement I got from listening to the Code Monkey song.
Warning: The lyrics do, at one point, use the Lord's name in vain. Lyrics below the fold... Code Monkey
by Jonathan Coulton 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? Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write goddamn login page himself Code Monkey not say it out loud Code Monkey not crazy, just proud Code Monkey like Fritos Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew Code Monkey very simple man Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart Code Monkey like you Code Monkey like you Code Monkey hang around at front desk Tell you sweater look nice Code Monkey offer buy you soda Bring you cup, bring you ice You say no thank you for the soda, cuz Soda make you fat Anyway you busy with the telephone No time for chat Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle He sit down pretend to work Code Monkey not thinking so straight Code Monkey not feeling so great Code Monkey like Fritos Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew Code Monkey very simple man Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart Code Monkey like you Code Monkey like you... a lot Code Monkey have every reason To get out this place Code Monkey just keep on working See a soft pretty face Much rather wake up eat a coffee cake Take bath, take nap This job fulfilling in creative way Such a load of crap Code Monkey think some day he have everything, even pretty girl like you Code Monkey just waiting for now Code Monkey say someday, somehow... Code Monkey like Fritos Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew Code Monkey very simple man Big, warm, fuzzy, secret heart Code Monkey like you Code Monkey like you Trackbacks

Ancient Of Days on :
For me, the pleasure of this song is *very* much about the way it encapsulates a period of my life that wasn't very pleasant. When "Code Monkey" tells us what he's thinking in response to Manager Rob's question, I wanted to cheer, laugh, and cry all at the same time. :)
Daboo on :
I have to say, I found this song depressing in a hopeless, despairing, soul-crushing way. It made me want to either a) kill myself, or b) go sleep with as many random lonely geeks as I can find.
