This is a music video about the life of the common lowlands code monkey. 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 thought 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, he 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. No monkeys were harmed in the making of this film. Please visit www.spiffworld.com for more information about his videos, including info about how he makes them. The song at the end of the video is “Big Bad World One”, another great Jonathan Coulton song.

Code monkeys are in fact literally apes as they, like all humans, belong to the Hominid taxonomic family, also known as the Great Apes.
Code monkeys aren’t neither moneys or apes. It’s just expression
hey girls out there, give the code monkey’s a chance
ohh…. now i get the lyrics….
Why do I have such nostalgia for this? Jesus Christ, I love the internet.
I can’t listen to the ending of this song without hearing ‘I LOVE YOU WHORES’.
