Code Monkey like Stargate:Atlantis

[busyba]

So there's this musician named Jonathan Coulton (http://www.jonathancoulton.com) who does some great stuff. He's responsible for the "Baby Got Back" cover (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/10/14/thing-a-week-5-baby-got-back/) that made the rounds a while back. Another song of his that gained some noteriety was "Code Monkey" (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2006/04/14/thing-a-week-29-code-monkey/)

Someone has made a video of Code Monkey using clips from Stargate:Atlantis. It's absolutely brilliant.

Here is it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUPCcAY1k-U

That is awesome. I am loving some of his other stuff from the website. That spells DNA really reminds me of They Might Be Giants.

Thank you so much for posting this. I had to go download the MP3, I like it so much!

Okay, what am I missing? I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of it.

I'd think the song alone is worth listening to, but if not at least get through to the end of the first chorus to have the video pull you in. The multitude of different shots of Rodney eating and the revelation of the Code Monkey's object of affection should eventually be interesting for you.

If not... well, I guess everyone's got their own taste.... ;)

You may have to be a code monkey for it to really hit home. Give your website business another year and this will probably be your favorite song.

Prefect42 (codemonkey that is just coming off a 12 month coding project)Nah, you have to be working a crappy office job to get it. It's at least as much Dilbert as it is Slashdot. (And if she's running the web business, that makes her Manager Rob :eek: ;) )

I guess I will give it another go. I just couldn't get past the sound of the song to actually listen to the words.

[busyba]

Well, the words are kinda important.... :)
