Code monkey like Fritos

Posted by Jay Lee | Filed under General, Humor, Technobabble, podcast

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey seem to work a lot
But his output stink
His code not “functional” or “elegant”
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write god damned login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud.

Johnathon Coulton is writing, recording and posting a song a week as part of something called A Thing A Week. This offering is “Code Monkey” and it’s a delightful tribute to software programmers.

Also of note is his “Flickr” song. If you have ever browsed Flickr (or any other photo hosting site) you will appreciate this song/video.

Lastly, Chiron Beta Prime reminds me a LOT of They Might Be Giants.

Thing A Week is available as a Podcast if you are so inclined.

As i said over here:

Thanks for playing Code Monkey during the radio show. I didn’t have time to follow the links when you first posted this and might never have gotten back around to it. JC’s stuff is great; I couldn’t resist dancing to Code Monkey.

[...] You may recall me blogging about a guy named Jonathan Coulton. He’s they guy doing the “Thing a Day” blog where he writes and records a new song every day for a year. The most popular one (IMHO) has been Code Monkey. [...]
