Life of the common lowlands code monkey
A music video about the life of the common lowlands code monkey. Love the lyrics.
Code Monkey
I love this song! It’s brilliant.
Partial lyrics
Rob say code monkey very diligent
but his output stink.
His code not functional or elegant.
What did code monkey think?Code monkey thinks
maybe manager want write the God-damn login page himself.Code monkey not saying
out loud,
code monkey not crazy,
just proud.
Here’s some information on the people behind the song and video.
Jonathan Coulton is a singer/songwriter who releases his songs via the Creative Commons license, which enables projects such as this video. Through his “Thing A Week” podcast, Jonathan has put out a clever, creative song like this one every week for a year.
Mike Spiff Booth is a Program Manager at Adobe who though this great song really deserved a video.
Before you ask, since apes, goblins, and night elf receptionists don’t tend to interact much in the wild, I couldn’t only use captured game footage to make this video. Every frame of this video was composited together by hand using images captured from the WoW Model Viewer, WoW Map Viewer, and the World of Warcraft game itself.
