- This AMV features the song Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton, using footage from the anime Black Heaven.
It was a finalist at Anime Expo 2007 AMV Contest.
At Animazement 2007 it won Best in Show.
I've heard it did well at Dragoncon 2007
A lot of people ask where the song is available, you can buy it at Jonathan Coulton's website for 0.99 or from itunes for the same price. Its released under the Creative Commons license, which grants use for projects like this. Thanks Jonathan!
Others have asked about the anime, Legend of Black Heaven. This anime is about a man who was in a rock band in his younger days, but they broke up as the members grew up and got married. Years later, in a dead end job and dull marriage, he's approached by aliens who want him to play his music to save them...
15 years later it's 2023 now, as a code monkey myself i thank you for this amv, since the beginning it always cheers me up.
it'll be 16 soon, man, I wonder if the song was made to give me an interest in computers
👍
Here in 2024 and this still hits like a truck
Checking in from 2020, yup, this is still freaking amazing and I love it.
see you in 10 years check in
brings me back to my uni days 13 years ago
2021 here bro
I was like 10 when i saw this video. Now i am 26.
Nostalgia is crazy man lol
I second that in Dec. 2021
This is the most accurate AMV I've ever viewed in my entire life.
Somehow this song gives me a feel of hope.
+Felix Schütt "Code monkey just waiting, for now. Code monkey say someday, somehow..." I know what you mean.... XD
Same bruh
I guess it's just feeling "I'm not the only one"
Has it already been 17 years? We sure have been through a lot, huh? I'm glad you're still here, Code Monkey. 20 year reunion, here we come!
I've been watching this AMV for 10 years, and I always tear up at the 2:37 part, when he looks up to the starry sky and his worried expression changes for a smile. This hope for better times is what I need to fight my depression. Thank you.
Likewise, 1:25 has the same effect for me but more because of how relatable it is. This AMV was so well made and full of so much heart.
someday somehow!!
I only just realized that this is sung by the same guy who wrote "Still Alive" from Portal.
He writes lots cool songs besides these still alive and code money and he's been around for a while.
Hey don't forget re: your brains!
This was a triumph. I'm making a note here. Huge success.
@@lskdfoIS It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

I use to watch this in highschool while doing homework late at night, was really into music and anime. Now I'm 28 and with my work I feel like code monkey. Time flies.
Yeah we all code monkey. We very simple. But that's not a bad thing
It's scary how well this song goes with this anime
I need to watch Black Heaven
@@seronymus Did you?
@@Clebardman I totally forgot thank you ;; how is it?
@@seronymusAs someone who watched it years ago because this AMV turned me to it,
It's good. Has an OP that gets stuck in your head. Short show but does a neat job exploring how growing up has us change our relationship to our passions.
It has been 11 years and this is still an iconic AMV to me
Thanks!
still watching this 11 years later!
I'm glad you're still enjoying it!
13 years later and this has never been more relevant! Wish I could thank my 16 year old self for finding this gem way back then!
We followed the same timeline
😂😂😂

Code Monkey, a song for the ages. Seriously.
The name of the anime is The Legend of Black Heaven, for those of you who are wondering. It even has an English dub.
Cody Wilcox Eww english dubs
Cody Wilcox i just read the last part as "it has a cancerous version"
+Modibo Kearney "Eww english who even uses that?! KAI WAI DESU DES!!!"
Thank You
+Master Morgoth dbz has a good dub but not black butler
After seeing this AMV 12 years ago, it relates to me now than ever as an adult. Glad this AMV is still here 🙂
I'll never get tired of this song/AMV. It speaks to me, and it chokes me up whenever I get caught up in the lyrics. :')
17 years and I still love this song
NOSTALGIA!!! I SHARED THIS ON FACEBOOK WAAAY BACK IN 2011, DAMN MISSED THIS
I still remember finding this amv when I was in middle school and honestly its been on my mind ever since. Still haven't watched Black Heaven, and I don't think I ever will. Happy just preserving the context of this amv just as it is.
Glad you like it. But yeah, I took a lot of liberties with the plot of the video vs the anime. :)
@@Kagatoamv You made it so much better.
@@BruceNachsin I've had a few people complain my vid was a bit misleading when they watched the anime.
@@Kagatoamv oh yeah, it definitely is, but that’s not a bad thing. I tracked down and watched Black Heaven because of your video. While I did enjoy it, it wasn’t nearly as good as the “aspirational office comedy about a failed musician trying to find hope and fulfillment in his dead end low level coding job” that your video hinted at.
Btw, major kudos to you on a great editing job. As someone who has made a few short films, myself, I felt your storytelling was top notch & it’s clear there is a reason that 14 years & millions of views later, your video plays as awesome as it did on day 1.
this sold this anime for me. new addition to the list.
Same here. Already watched? What's your opinion about it? :P
Is it good?
@@ihatenumberinemail It's great but, holy shit, you wouldn't believe it.
(SPOLIERS)
THERE ARE F*CKING ALIENS IN THIS ANIME.
The AMV doens't even have a hint on that lol.
Suoirafen I'MA WATCH IT SOON
Suoirafen also nice 5yr late reply xD
My brother used to have this video on his laptop and I used to absolutely love it. I'm happy I was able to find it again, after so many years
this is the AMV that got me hooked on AMVs. about 1000 AMVs later...
A relic from the days of AMV's dominating CZcams.
jeez i've love this AMV for over a decade and it might be one of the oldest videos on youtube that survived the great purge.
Dangerous Rival is that league
I come back to this video every anniversary since it’s 10 year anniversary. I was like 9 when I found this back on old CZcams lol
For real. I was 15 I'm 28 now
10 years ago I found this video, I still watch with pleasure.
love going back to iconic amvs from early youtube and seeing all the comments from people revisiting their favorite amvs and reminiscing
This is the best amv ever!
I second this. I've seen a lot of AMV's and not very many are very good in my opinion. But this is great and has always been great ever since I first saw it 9 years ago.
hi
I heard this song today and I immediately remembered this existed.
I've liked this AMV for like, 13 years now or something.
Jesus.
Listened to this about 15 times in a row. Still not tired. Even after a few years, still an awesome song.
this is one of the AMVs that got me into anime
Holy shit I remember watching this in 8th grade. I'm close to 30 now...
Just introduced my daughter to this song, and the video, and she absolutely loves it! Which is great as I'm just a Code Monkey too!
This is too wholesome for CZcams and im all about it
I'm debugging live issues, was losing stamina...play this....now I'm rocking again.
This plays on loop for me when I'm writing code for my C++ classes.
It inspires me...
When CZcams used to be great...
#ThisIsMyCZcams #MakeCZcamsGreatAgain
I know. This brings back memories.
@@ryanjackson0x This was back before the dark days of patreon and all the good content disappearing behind paywalls.
Yeah like entire episodes for free and completely illegal and shit yes the good old days I literally watched 120 episodes of bleach on CZcams but when the law hits the law hits hard.
@SinR Sigmoid This hit me hard...
OK boomer.
Checking in from 2023, yup, this is still freaking amazing and I love it.
This is one of the greatest anime music videos EVER! EEEVVVVVEERRRRRRR!
I had to see this video 11 years and suddenly remembered it out of the blue,you've done a good and memorable job man (Y)
Chees!
Words alone can't Express how much I love this video! Dedicated to all those out there working way too hard for the ones they love. Always remember to hold on to your dreams. The only person who can make them come true is YOU!
That was perfect. Complete perfection. I've never heard of this show, but now I'm suddenly compelled to watch it. Thank you for this wonderful addition to CZcams.
Its 2023... and JC still rocks. Great AMV tribute.
yearly watch. I always come back to this and cry
IDK how many years its been since I first saw this video but today I just randomly felt like watching it. IMO its one of the best AMVs out there even now. Also I only knew about the anime because of this AMV and it was a pretty good anime to watch.
It's amazing how everything in the anime conveniently fits in with the lyrics.
Randomly thought about this video, and didn’t realize it came out 12 years ago wow
2024 and its starting to make me feel old, but still a bop.
It’s been a tradition for every Fourth of July bbq I jam to this song/video for 13 years now thanks man for giving birth to this amv
Hah! That's a great tradition, I'm glad you enjoy the video.
Nic Neidenbach hey helped me fine an awesome song that me and my mom now drink to lol
@@Kagatoamv The man himself. I hope you're doing great after all these years.
I love this song. Its really nostalgic for me, its one of my dad's favorite songs and he used to play it for us a lot. its been my favorite song for ages and he showed us this video for it too. I love this song, thank you so much for giving me this nostalgia.
2018 still watching this from time to time whoop
Odinson 44 I switched degrees because of this song
And STILL watching from time to time man a lot has changed in the 4 years I posted that comment.
from the year 2021 this is still a good amv. I don't know what made me look for it but glad I did. thank you.
I'm glad you still enjoy it.
I can’t believe I remembered this video and was able to find it in seconds.
I remember watching this my senior year of high school back in 08/09 man those were the days
Kind of crazy how long its been since I created this AMV.
"anime"
"he's approached by aliens who want him to play his music to save them"
GEE AIN'T THAT SURPRISING
What anime
@@thecreep9650 hello, person from a decade in the future! The anime is called Black Heaven; it's kind of weird but I only watched a few episodes of it and didn't continue, didn't really hook me. This AMV is still great, though.
I was 11 when this amv came out... time flies man
After a long path of 9 years of coding, I can finally feel that song in full. And this is kinda sad, you know.
But anyway my next work will be somewhat filled with some neaning for people, just like my previous jobs...
I'm 28 btw. And I hope to listen that song in my elderly age 😂
I spent two nights writing code for my construction mechanics homework while this mental amv was spinning in the background. Thanks for helping me not to go crazy.
"Code monkey not say it out loud. Code monkey not crazy, just proud."
When I first heard this lyric at 15, I thought it was just silly. Now, at 31 and an IT worker, this lyric hits different.
Anyone else proud that they air guitar to this?
2023 this is still the hit of my life.
That...was beautiful.
I've taught myself just enough HTML to tweak my own website so when I get something right, I listen to this as a victory lap.
17 yrs.. damn I remember when this came out.. time goes quick
His code's not functional, because he uses procedural languages :D.
Oh gods, this made me chuckle... I may yet not be lost.
hurr hurr derp
Complexity of finding a prime integer using NFS: O(e^[(32/9*log n)^(1/3)*(log log n)^(2/3)]).
It shouldn't be any harder problem to find somebody whose attention is divided only by one and her/himself.
Damn kids and their fancy equations, I'll stick with AKS, complexity is O(log(n)^6).
It's been almost ten years...Jesus...
Mei IsBei i know right I remember watching this when it came out...time sure flys by
Same. It's such a strange feeling. lol
Still just as good.
This video is half my age
Alexander Garcia this video is 4 years older than half my age lol, also I was the crimson King lol
holy shit this is some nostalgia. haven't seen this is in over 12 years
Return to tradition
This is definitely the way AMVs should be.
None of those epileptic flashing lights and hyper short clip reel videos those Europeans freak us out with.
Just realized something awesome appears for a split second 2:58 mark!
I still come back and watch this in 2024. 😂 ♡♡♡♡
I'm first time watching it in 2024! Xd
This amv fit so well, I thought the anime was called, "Code Monkey" before I read the info. lol ^_^
16 years on and this song + AMV will always have a place in my heart. I've never forgotten it. It's so heartfelt.
Brings up so many memories......sigh.......its so nogalistic( or however you spell it) im sure oneday when im in college this song will make my day better....
This song is my life.....life sucks

Story of my lilfe
Haven't seen this video in a few years.
I used to listen to this specific video back in the day over and over while playing RuneScape when I was 13. Now my 5yo son can do the same. That's wild to me.
Glad you like the video! Man, hard to believe how long ago I made this. LOL
Absolute classic.
2023 here
Watching in 2018 whos with me???
*sobs alone in corner*
2019! Love this song, and the AMV too.
I like this song so much,
where is the real creator of this song?
Jonathan Coulton; www.jonathancoulton.com/
oh thanks, just was watching video
Nic Neidenbach nic just saying thanks for this video saw this 8 or 9 years ago and still love it to death and now that I myself am on the track to becoming a programmer this song is more relevant now to me than ever before. So all I have to say is thank you for this it helps me get through the day.
The Anubi ur welcome
Nick Fed Was talking to the other nick
I saw this AMV for the first time three years ago... I still come back to it because of how good it is
Used to listen to this back in the days of WoW, Now a code monkey IRL and feel this on another level.
Mike Differ nostalgia?
Wish I could smoke in the office while coding.. 2:15
I'm working on god-damn login page now..
while secretly thinking manager should write it himself? lol
Am I the only one who watching this in 2017?
Rasen D no
nyet
Im watching in 2018
2018 you poor pleb.
Today I woke up and for some reason the song was in my head. After so many years without listening to it or watching this AMV it came back to my head
16 years and it's still a banger
sweet god, 5 years, and its still at the top!
yup - still slaps over 13 years later.
Suddenely remembered this thing after about.. idk.. 10 or even more years? And i still remembered almost all lyrics from first part)
It’s been years & I’ll still watch this video every few months.
Bruce Nachsin watch it now!
@@TehPobo I just did!
@@BruceNachsin legend.
This AMV is timeless. Which is amazing, because AMVs didn't end up being timeless at all. lOl
Omg just got hit by a wave of Nostalgia, also legit this song still holds up to this day!
In 2011 I was in highschool. I was OBSESSED and loved this song and never worked a real job. Now in 2022 at the age of 26, I still love this song except I'm code monkey now 😅
I’m feeling so fucking nostalgic rewatching this amv.
For three minutes it feel like I’ve been zap back to a different part of my life That I’m never gonna get back.
I'm going down the rabbit hole of what used to be. Thanks for the core memory 👍
Now THIS is how an AMV should be done!
