The one song I've been able to emotionally identify with for the past 6 years straight

[@slidingconstant]

Oh, the brain explosion that happened the first time I saw "Code Monkey think someday he have everything, even pretty girl like you"! Chris and Sheila were both wonderful sports for humoring us!😃

When you wake up at 10am, hungover af, and this is playing on Dragon Con TV.

[@Itchitaka]

I must have seen this video and heard this remix a million times while I was staffing in the ConSuite this past weekend... and I love it.

[@LiveGranades]

Way back when, he and Quick Stop Entertainment did a remix contest for Code Monkey. As part of that, Jonathan made all of the individual tracks available. If you search for "Code Monkey Remix" you can find the tracks.

I was watching this one night at DragonCon and I fell in love with it hehe

[@OldManAP]

My ex would probably love this as much as I do, but for slightly different reasons...she teaches grade 3-5 general music, and uses BoomWhackers in her class quite a bit...but I'm not likely to point it out to her, since she made it quite plain just over 10 months ago that she'd like to forget that I exist...it's a shame, as this video might be inspirational as a teacher of young people...nonetheless, I dig it...JoCo is HAPPENING!!! As a percussionist, loving the BoomWhacker rendition!!!

[@chudleycannonfodder]

I loved the drumming! I never thought of adding that to the song. At first I was a bit apprehensive, but I got into it during the first verse. And the ice bit was adorable!

[@raisedbywolves72]

The use of Boomwhackers was brilliant! Excellent remix.

[@BadGirlsBeotchBlog]

IT'S TEN YEARS OLD?! WHAAAAAT?!

[@deeptreble]

I always knew Boring Manager Rob eventually became Bob from Re: Your Brains... and here's the proof!

[@ElizabethT45]

mind blown!

[@duyhuynh9646]

I love this video so much!

[@LiveGranades]

A note list would be easier than sheet music. I can put that on my to-do list.

[@LiveGranades]

They're called Boomwhackers. You can find them in stores that specialize in music education. And glad you liked the cup/ice joke! I think it's my favorite in the video.

[@spiffworld]

Nice. I dig the tubular remix. :)

[@Jaxdrill]

Thanks to Dragoncon pretty sure I've watched this like 25 times in the past week alone..

[@Robino1991]

Honestly i think this is better than the original, i like the pipe sounds at 1:19 etc !

[@mattsmith929]

dragoncon TV is honestly one of the best parts of dragoncon (thats coming from someone who loves EVERYTHING about dragoncon) and I think this is one of the best skits I've seen on D*C TV!

[@LiveGranades]

@hyperpunk921 That was a nod to "Heya, Tom, it's Bob", from Re: Your Brains. The guy playing the boring manager in this video also played Bob from Re: Your Brains and is dressed the same, so I like to think they both take place in the same universe.

[@killerbee0909]

love your jonathan coulton videos!!!!

[@kengle1]

Why is it that the thing I like best about this video is that Code Monkey and Love Interest appear to be an actual couple?

[@Pratanjali64]

I really like this arrangement. When the song's in my head I always hear the bridge as you do it from 2:55 to 3:12. Question: How did you get Jon's voice to be independent from the original instrumentation?

[@skunked42]

Wow, watched this again. Im old. 50 cent chips.

[@links6831]

HAPPY 10 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF DISSSSSS VIDEO 🐵🙉🙈

[@LiveGranades]

@killerbee0909 I did an arrangement for the boomwhackers and then recorded it myself.

[@smb611]

This is so good! I LOVE the whole thing.

[@LiveGranades]

Thanks! Same here.

[@sfzombie]

i downloaded this song thanx its awesome gets me wondering

[@thePoetsTime]

That was awesome I liked the note tubes a lot Great job

[@kairi3177]

Love the Code Monkey video although I am partial to Your Brains video. I enjoy all your DragonCon tv videos. Hope to see you at DragonCon 2013!

[@3Horn]

[@cindi1992]

[@TheJayHawkFL]

OMG that was amazing :)

[@JohnMichaelReed]

Welcome to the office.

[@ZOx0_Omega]

awesome*** this a cool verson

[@justicedude97]

I dont exactly know the name of the song but I DO know it is from the movie "2001 A Space Odyssey"

[@killerbee0909]

who did the pipe music? it rules

[@killerbee0909]

@LiveGranades nice good job

[@wannabenyhm]

nice intro with da stick :D

[@QueenAnime99]

This is such a cute song. :D

[@LiveGranades]

@Robino1991 Thanks!

[@DinoEntrails]

Also Sprach Zarathustra? That is what we play at our band...

[@MegaTeddie500]

Nice vid

[@jogguy13]

nice beat

[@LiveGranades]

@GingerErb04 Or download it freely from granades.com as explained in the video notes, instead of some from sketchy third-party site.

[@joemed2001]

Excellent work! And with boomwhackers no less. And thank you for not making another machinima video (please no more...)

[@Nate016]

I pooped in a SECRET place.

[@Jackal0321]

Sorry but I have to agree with everyone else. The original version of the song with the guitar is much better. I still think the boomsticks were creative and the remix wasn't half bad. If I hadn't heard the original then this would be awesome.

[@leeroy4022]

FU*K YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! boomwhackers rule.

[@kairi3177]

Mine too.

[@LiveGranades]

@hyperpunk921 Nearly a thousand years of English language development, and you choose an insult that's the equivalent of a caveman banging two rocks together in the hopes of making fire? That's a solid F, but do feel free to try harder and raise your grade.

[@please_recharge]

1:03 is when it starts CLICK ^ here

[@JtheEpic]

at the end it's boring manager Rob not Bob. just saying love the remix

[@Vampericlegends]

lol pkachu danchinig on a weighted companion cube

[@sisterdiscordia]

song stuck in head HELP ME~!!!!!

[@aroneo3]

ZOMFG that looks exactly like mt 7th grade teacher Holand

[@CHRISDAVIES2447]

can anyone tell me the name of the classical song used at the beginning of this vid???

[@darkmyro]

i dont think playing a song with a deferent instruments is a remix

[@mephron]

Code Monkey not get to choose OS. Boring Manager Rob choose OS. Boring Manager Rob talk about corporate standards and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and six sigma. Boring Manage Rob need hit with burning flower, is what Code Monkey think.

[@romeoabregana3800]

Rob is Walter White running Crystal Blue Corporations

[@c2thew]

hahahahahah funny

[@exworthy2]

[@Azelf98]
