Code Monkey

This song is awesome and, best of all, it’s been released under a Creative Commons license, so I can share it with you all without fear of the RIAA breathing down my neck!

I first heard Code Monkey on a recent episode of Linux Outlaws. It’s a song about a code monkey who is having a hard time with his boss and with unrequited office love. It’s a tale any code monkeys will find familiar. You can either download it at this post or, if that takes too long, off of Jonathan Coulton’s blog. His l ast.fm page says he came out with a new song a year for a whole year, so check that out. There may be some other really awesome ones.

I’m sure that if you’re a programmer or into geek culture that this will be on your playlist for a long time. It’ll probably be my top scrobbled song this year.

And here’s the neatest part, if you still haven’t downloaded it yet - Jonathan Coulton is the guy who came up with the “Still Alive” song from Portal!!! That song rocks!
