Code Monkey Like Fritos 196
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.

Slashdot has obviously been replaced by bizaro-Slashdot. I won't be able to relax until this story has been duped three times.

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

I'm a code monkey, baby.
Climb up my binary tree.
Ten thousand lines to debug.
So don't fling shit at me.

Here's a Wikipedia article

Here's a page on Eventful with more information and a way for you to "demand" Jonathan come to your town (cool concept!).

And here's a podcast that played three of Jonathan's songs, full length because of Creative Commons.
http://treehouseconcerts.libsyn.com/index.php?pos
The first is about an evil genius (think arch-villian, Syndrome, from The Incredibles) who lives atop a lonely mountain but with much love in his heart. Or maybe that's just the voices in his head.
The second is a tender ballad about the love of his life...his Apple Macintosh G4 laptop.
And the last is about a little furniture store called Ikea. Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen. Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men.
