Facts:

The theme song to G4's animated series "Code Monkeys" (ChrisWolvie)

Yay, monkeys. This is not autobiographical, but I did indeed used to have a job writing software. VB! MS SQL! I affectionately referred to myself and my co-developers as code monkeys, especially when a client asked me a question that I didn’t want to answer ("What do I know? I’m just a code monkey.").

Song Lyrics:

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 goddamned 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 With big warm fuzzy secret heart: 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 cause 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 With 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 your 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 someday 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 With big warm fuzzy secret heart: Code Monkey like you All stuff copyright Jonathan Coulton (Dino Flintstone)
