PAX 2007: Jonathan Coulton, Code Monkey

[quakerninja]

I has a big warm fuzzy secret heart for Jonathan Coultonz shhh

[paniq303]

This almost makes me cry each time I hear it. What's wrong with me?

[amyepage]

To all of you who don't know what Tab is, it is a soda made by Coca Cola. I have been drinking it for years.

[baileyp224]

G4 Canceled Code monkeys 

[HedgiesnPlumbersohmy]

I have Direct TV and I can't this this anymore.I want G4 back -.-

[d4m4s74]

Because of the special grammar, I'm not 100% Sure if code monkey likes you, or is like you.

[planetofthescums]

@d4m4s74 Code monkey like pretty girl. Have big warm fuzzy secret heart?

[haircut74]

@d4m4s74 Use your context clues!

[CRISNCHIPS12398]

This song is a classic! Awesome.

[Joe55darter]

Code Monkey show boss killer amazing piece of code,

Code Monkey be really proud, Boss is that it?

Code Monkey listen to Code Monkey song on Internet,

Code Monkey say you try and it'll look like S**T!

Happened like 10 minutes ago!

[ArchTV]

Shit myself when I heard "TAB" in the lyrics. Nostalgia ensued.

[StolzR]

Nice Performance :D

All Guys are laughing ^^

[DashCat9]

This performance never fails to remind me why I am obsessed with this man.

[deethr]

brilliant

[kirinrex]

I love this version!

[TheKarmacharger]

What is with him and songs with odd morals:

This says bad grammar is good,

I feel fantstic says drugs are great,

Re: your brains says you should submit to the zombies,

And still alive states that what ever you do they evil robot wont fucking die.

[JamesEvesque]

@TheKarmacharger The song has morals huh. What are you 5? Songs need not be restricted by grammar. Lighten up.

[evinoog]

@TheKarmacharger this song describes the endeavors of a programmer; how they innovate but rarely ever get noticed. It gives insights to the struggles of his work, social and even dietary routines. Chill

[misterspokes]

@TheKarmacharger The "bad grammar" you mention here is a combination between various coding language forms (Codemonkey is the object in the software that does the thing, GET, GOTO, and LIKE are commands in some programming languages) and a general 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' that most humans that are allegedly raised by apes have in popular media.

[TheKoolkiller11]

soda make u fat :)

[PedroT2000]

I think its just awsome joco likes tmbg its a perfect combo

[ryzom125]

"PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?"

[TheW0rldsGame]

Code Monkeys was the best RIP Code Monkeys.

[HordeFTL]

I know for sure in the UK they don't have Fritos, Tab or Mtn Dew so that might be why some people are confused.. sucks though there all great xD

[dannyjingu]

Nice vid! I was there. I had no idea he sang this song untill I saw him play it at PAX.

[steelie11]

/salute

JoCo

Everytime i hear this song, i do a Mtn Dew salute, Open it on the word Tab, and take 5 gulps on Mtn Dew.

I love you man!

[JamesOhGoodie]

This song actually becomes rather sweet acoustic style.

[emoharry2007]

i agree

[tracydumont]

The soda TAB is nasty tooooo.

[YamiNoSenshi]

In context, "Tab and Mountain Dew", I'd say it's the energy drink.

[CInZaNeS]

@YamiNoSenshi , Oh Really? u think so? .. omg.

[OrangeFruitLoop]

Tab is a type of Diet Coke, and it is way better than Coke Zero and Diet Coke.

[Johnwatsis]

It's nasty to you because you aren't a simple man like the codemonkey.

[LittleGreyNetwork]

I think that maybe Code Monkey should have that fuzzy heart looked at by a doctor, if it's actually noticeably fuzzy...

[ExtremePanda007]

I always thought it was "titty sweaters look nice", but it's "tell her, sweater looks nice.". If you listen to it on the intro of Code Monkeys, it has backround noises, so it's harder to hear.

[noriascooter]

It's actually still available (the soda) in certain areas where it's exceptionally popular.

[acdckid232]

Great song, i like his temple live version a little better though.

[FreakinSweet87]

I had no idea JoCo wrote this song. Ya learn something every day.

[ivytech89]

"code monkey think maybe manager outta right goddamn login page himself" lol

[Stormtrooper0II]

actually, he says: Code monkey think maybe manager wanna write goddamn logging page himself '' :P

[ArcticChilli]

nope he says log in.

[Influx27]

Is it just me or does Jonathan sound kinda British when he introduces this song?

[NagetoPrime]

They still make TAB?

Nice vid dude.

[SchoolhouseTechno]

THEY DO!

I HAVE SEEN IT!

...never tried it...

[lolwut211]

nasty shit

[pootsmcgee]

:O TAB is the shit man its awsome

[lalaSTOOPID]

Code monkey like tab and mountain dew =]

[justinc18]

Going down the page as the song is playing, and sure enough while reading this message, "Code monkey like tab and mountain dew" is played. :D

[200ike]

@lalaSTOOPID No, Code Monkey like you :)

[sheik530]

@lalaSTOOPID What is tab?

[SpiroEx]

@sheik530 I think it's a Coca-Cola product. Used to get it in Britain back in the 90's where it was called "Tab Clear", basically it's totally transparent, caffiene free diet coke which should make it taste awful but it was my favourite drink while it was around. Presumably in America they still have it. Unless 'Tab' refers to a different fizzy drink, but I doubt it.

[Soppkoppen]

Damn I would have liked to see this

[vigimael]

vigimael like this

[woolimustv]

this song rocks

[BalysLTU]

Nerdcore rock is funny :D

[Whillenn]

"Nerdcore", from what I understand, is a general term for, well, nerdy music. I think it started with MC Chris, but don't quote me on that.

[underling3210]

if you have to classify music, it shows how inexperianced you are. music cannot be defined in categories, music is its own entity

[Whillenn]

Music can indeed be defined in categories. Sometimes music falls into two or three categories, but it can be categorized. Just look at radio stations and the music section of Wal-Mart. Go to Wikipedia and look at the categories there.

[Fatasyourmom]

so true man............

[agtheking]

@Whillenn Don't think nerdcore in it self is a term for nerdy musci(while it would be appropriate). The term nerdcore and nerdcore hiphop is coined by MC Frontalot.

[TwoToneSoldier]

@Whillenn i think it was more frontalot but chris fell into the genre

[Adroitism]

@Whillenn Nah it was MC Frontalot who coined the term with his 2006(?) album "Nerdcore Rising"

[goldenhopper]

@Whillenn TMBG

[bafirebat]

@Whillenn Nerdcore usually refers to a more specific nerd rap movement that started with MC Frontalot. MC Chris for a while didn't want to be lumped in with that genre but eventually embraced it to some degree.

[MarilynMansonIsGod4]

@Whillenn Nerdcore was a form of hip-hop developed my MC Frontalot (Chris came about 7 months after Frontalot took off) as a hobby, Although JoCo defiantly makes nerdy music it doesn't fall under the genre of nerdcore.

[cwoodrow146]

This was such an awesome show.

[mikinchikin]

i love this song its on my i pod

[miladygrimm]

Thi sis one of the sweetest songs ever.

[konfz]
