@vaporeon_ somewhat popular song from the mid-auguts about the drudgery of office work (as a “code monkey”). i know of at least two animations and a very good AMV made of it. CC-BY-NC 3.0 Jonathan Coulton

@compufox yeah

@aescling hmm.

@compufox what

@aescling what are your thoughts on it

@compufox it’s pretty good

@compufox to me the most fascinating aspect of the song is that there are two rather popular fan animations with diametrically opposed tonal interrpurretations of the song. one has the code monkey getting his girl in the end; the other features the code monkey repeatedly experiencing a loop between cathartic flights of fancy and disappointing returns to reality, ultimately ending on the latter

@aescling the second one definitely sounds more in the spirit of the song

@compufox yeah
