"Pop songs based on office life are missing from musical history," ''The Times'' (United Kingdom), Section: Features, What else happened, pg. 2 - Career, June 7, 2007.〕 It has been described as "a rocking anthem about dead-end programming jobs,"〔Clive Thompson. "Sex, Drugs and Updating Your Blog". ''New York Times'', 5/13/2011.〕 "a song about a computer programmer in love with a receptionist,"〔 and "a semi-autobiographical song ... about a lovelorn computer programmer."〔Alex Blumberg. "An Internet rock star tells all," ''All Things Considered'', National Public Radio, May 13, 2011. Text retrieved from the Newspaper Source database.〕 Coulton credits the song's mention on the technology discussion site Slashdot with the earliest success of the "Thing a Week" project, remarking, "so here was this song about a sad tech geek, and it went directly - it was shot - an arrow shot directly to the heart of the tech geek community." 〔 A music video for the song was created by Mike Spiff Booth using imagery from the World of Warcraft video game series and uploaded to YouTube on September 23, 2006.〔Mike Spiff Booth. ("Code Monkey Music Video" )〕 The song has appeared in television commercials, and is the theme song for the G4 television network show ''Code Monkeys''. In 2008, the song was featured in an animated video presented at a free ASIFA event and was written by Tom Weiser and IdleAmbition. In 2011 pianist Louis Durra recorded an instrumental version of the song for his album ''Mad World EP''. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Code Monkey (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
