Code Monkey Like Fritos

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.

Perfect for a hot sunny day

[LiquidCoooled]

Back to work tomorrow after nice long Easter break - thanx for posting this Scuttle.
Its going on my playlist in the morning ;)

Re:Perfect for a hot sunny day

[Rei]

I should pair this song up with Monkey Developers ("Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers!")

And then...

[pope1]

CodeMonkey insert RootKit into corporate software installer.. give credit to Rob.

Wow!

Robert Frost (though you're dead), watch out. This guy knows how to rhyme.

Pssh! He's an ameteur.

[HoneyBunchesOfGoats]

Like virtually everything he does, he's released it under a Creative Commons license / go forth, download, and share the goodness!

That doesn't rhyme at all.

Re:Wow!

[tiluki]

Reminds me of another little ditty a guy I used to work with was prone to hum...

I'm a code monkey, baby.

Re:Rhyming is overrated.

How nice of you to share this information about your personal tastes. But if this is the only output of SELECT * FROM music WHERE subject = 'rhyming', you might consider tacking some other information onto it before adding it to the discussion.

Login Page :(

[cyranoVR]

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 oughta write goddamn login page himself

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

Coulton is great. The first track of his I ever heard was "Mandelbrot Set". Gotta love a song that includes the lyrics "badass f'in fractal"

Well, let's at least make it easier for folks to discover Jonathan, even if his website no worky poo.

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.

Someone will find a way to complain about this

[Infonaut]

Guy creates song and distributes it for free. Slashdot picks it up. People post their reactions. Many will be happy, but some will invariably complain about some aspect of the song or about the Creative Commons license or about singing in general.

I think how you react to a work of art that someone has made available for free is a good litmus test of your outlook on life.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[LiquidCoooled]

So far your the only one upset about something.
Did you get a login page to write as well?

Give it time

[Infonaut]

So far your the only one upset about something.

I've simply noticed lately that despite the abundance of free information and valuable tools that people give away for free, a surprising number of people snipe at the giftgivers for one reason or another. I wanted to see if my theory would be borne out with this story, because it is so clearly a case of someone simply giving something away.

My guess is that a few of the sharpshooters will show up for this one.

Did you get a login page to write as well?

Re:Give it time

[Whiney Mac Fanboy]

No, but I'm sure I came across sounding like I did. It's probably the weather. I think weeks and weeks of overcast sky are finally driving me to lunacy. Too much time in the virtual world, not enough running around outdoors.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[kfg]

Either that or it really does just plain suck.

I have no idea where people get the idea that displaying a work of art for free is supposed to give it immunity to criticism.

I suspect that most of the people who believe this are themselves the tortured artiste type who cannot seperate criticism of their work from criticism of their soul.

For these type of people I can only say this:

Dude, get a grip and think about this to brighten your day - Maybe your soul really does just plain suck.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[Infonaut]

I suspect that most of the people who believe this are themselves the tortured artiste type who cannot seperate criticism of their work from criticism of their soul.

Well, you are spot-on about me being a tortured artiste type. I'm glad you were able to quickly identify my classification and get to the heart of the matter.

Actually I wasn't referring to criticism of the music itself. I should have more specifically stated that there will almost always be people ready to complain because the server is Slashdotted, or because the editors even posted the story in the first place, or because of something else. Something in the nature of threaded discussion like Slashdot brings out adversarial comments. That's a good thing, because it leads to thoughtful analysis. But it can also lead to criticism for its own sake, imho.

Dude, get a grip and think about this to brighten your day - Maybe your soul really does just plain suck.

Always a possibility, though I'm not sure how it'll brighten my day. Then again, something tells me you didn't really mean for it to brighten my day anyway.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[icepick72]

Hey, you could've tried to rip the guy apart but you didn't. Great example. I think we can all learn from such a non-adversarial response. Thanks for the example.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[Anonymous Coward]

Guy creates reaction to free song and distributes it on slashdot for free. Slashdot readers read it. People post their counter-reactions. Many will be happy, but some will invariably complain about some aspect of the reaction or about the poster's sig or about the slashdot community in general.

Point taken.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[MustardMan]

I know you slashdot weenies like to think everything must be free, in whatever version of the term you like to use... but being free doesn't immediately make something good. If someone doesn't like the song, they have every right to say "this song sucks". Although, on slashdot the only acceptable choices are for everyone to hate it, or everyone to like it, and any viewpoints opposing the groupthink will quickly be modded into oblivion.

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

[darkmeridian]

I hate how your post over-generalizes about the characters on Slashdot. I think we should petition to have you removed, Mr. "Infonaut", if that's even your real name. I mean, you are complaning about complaining. How am I supposed to complain if you already complained about complaining? You are depriving me of my pleasure, and the sole reason I would LTFA. I mean, what's the point of listening to pop culture if not to complain about how much it sucks? Hell, what's the point of participating in pop culture i

Re:Someone will find a way to complain about this

I'm not gonna complain about the guy's work, but I do have a complaint: Slashdot has officially turned into Digg with this non-story.

"I think how you react to a work of art that someone has made available for free is a good litmus test of your outlook on life."

I think you'd be better off testing that on a site that doesn't have the word "Insightful" appear magically next to some posts. I think some people here find something wrong in every story just to earn that mod.

Re:Surprisingly good

[gstoddart]

My God, a Creative Commons song that's actually good. And makes fun of a fat computer programmer. I love it.

The only person the word fat is used in reference to in the entire song is the receptionist he's lusting over -- ostensibly a GIRL.

His propensity to eat fritos, tab, mountain dew, or coffee cake doesn't indicate that he himself is fat.

Perfect for me.

Using Firefox on Linux? I've complained to the Firefox developers about that. It seems to work fine in Windows and OS X on Firefox. Page validates and it does that CPU killing even if I remove the Javascript and CSS. Very odd.

Re:Perfect for me.

[Eideewt]

Something about the non-scrolling background was my guess.

Re:Perfect for me.

[MikeFM]

I'm pretty sure that when I tested it it was slow even without the CSS linked in though (it was a while ago) which would mean it'd have no backgrounds of any kind since all styling is in CSS. Either way though I consider it a browser bug and not especially likely to hurt my business so I'll leave it that way for the time being. I've reported the bug so it's someone elses job to fix it. I refuse to workaround crappy browsers even in the case of it being my favorite, Firefox.

Other songs by the same guy

[iantf]

I've been a fan of Jonathan Coulton for a while now. He's got dozens of songs freely available on his web site, but here are a few of the ones that I think /.ers might particularly like: "Better" "Skullcrusher Mountain" "Gambler's Prayer" "Re Your Brains" Enjoy.

Re:Other songs by the same guy

[dodald]

Big Trouble is a surprisingly good and funny movie. It kind of slipped under everyone's radar. Probably because it was released so shortly after 9/11 and the plot is about a terrorist trying to get hold a nuclear bomb. But it's damn funny!

Re:If funny

It's also a great book by Dave Barry. I suggest you read it!

The movie is based on the book. I read the book first, and then saw the movie, but both were great. I was less impressed with MIB the movie after reading the book based on the movie.

White Collar Holler by Nigel Russell

[DrJimbo]

Well, I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight
Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late
I kiss the kids goodbye, I can't remember their names
And week after week, it's always the same

And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in the life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line

Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
Program, printout, regress to the mean

Then it's home again, eat again, watch some TV
Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three
I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night
I'm soaring over hills like an eagle in flight

Someday I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things
I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring
Burn up my necktie and set myself free
Cause no one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me.

Re:White Collar Hollerby Nigel Russell

No, it was written by Nigel Russell. Stan Rogers recorded a version of it (on the album "Between the Breaks").

NEW POLICY: Simian software oursourcing

[mnemotronic]

Attention all employees, especially those in sandels, tee-shirts, and shorts.

Due to proposed laybacks by our funding venture canabalists, all software engineer positions above the rank of "obsequious toadie" will be eliminated. This includes all over-paid, under-producing, slashdotter "code monkey" positions in the north-40 cube-farm, whose jobs will be outsourced to S-E Asian simian coders, all of whom have doctorates in object-oriented poo-flinging, and work for coconuts. Don't be mad, you brought it on yourselves -- all those "Ludicrous" mp3 files on the server. You know how much it took to settle that lawsuit? Sheesh, I coulda lost my Saleen S7.

We, the upper management, almost sincerely regret the necessity of having to announce this decision, but our personal assistant was out today, so we got stuck doing it. Well, no time to chat -- my four-some is up, so get packing. Oh, by the way, all network access has been cut off, and security is on their way with some backup bouncers from my party last night! Whew, I'm glad the shareholders are picking up the tab for that. Have fun, and if you see me on the street, let's just pretend we don't know each other.

Code Monkey Lyrics

[Anonymous Coward]

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

Rejected Lyrics

Just as interesting are the lyrics that Jonathan Coulton considered, but ultimately rejected:

Code Monkey only pawn in game of life.

Code Monkey like Sheriff Bart.

Re:Code Monkey Lyrics

[NitsujTPU]

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.

Re:Code Monkey Lyrics

[Jeremi]

I don't think the author quite gets nerds. Hitting on someone? Don't think so mate.

Oh, I think he gets nerds quite well. Keep in mind that in this case, "hitting on" the receptionist consists of offering her a sugary soda that she doesn't want, then slinking back to his cubicle to sulk when she turns down the offer. The receptionist, of course, never realizes an attempt was made (because "she doesn't think of him that way", natch). That sounds about right to me...
