I believe this is the first time I've read the blog entry, since I was only subscribed to the podcast.

I kind of ended up that way. When I read the title the first time, I read "Till the Monkey Comes", and didn't realize until I got to your next statement, then I had to smack myself in the head. Keep up the great work. “…my fingers want to type “Monkey” instead of “Money”…”

Glad to see (hear) that your quality hasn't slipped. I particularly like the end (when you trip over your bass), it adds to the underlying pain of the song. (That's just my way of trying to sound more intellecual than I am.) Anyway, as I perused your site, I noticed that you mentioned posting the chords for Code Monkey and was wondering if you'd be willing to post the chords for a few other songs as well... say, First of May, A Laptop Like You, and any others you wold like to throw in (I'd list all of my favorites, but I figure I'll start here, as you probably have more pressing things to do than fill my request to let me learn all you material).

That song has the clause, "Once I finally find her, I'll get permission from the wife." Well, he's asked the wife, and the wife said "no", and now he lives in resentment. "Fine," he says. "If you won't let me be with her, then I'll just mooch off of you, you selfish bitch. Yeah. See that? I just quit my job. I'm gonna live off you and suck you dry 'til you hit it, and then I'll leave you with half of whatever it is. We could have both been happy. We could have ALL lived in a castle, high. But NO! Bitch!
