No doubt you've seen by now the "Code Monkey" dance, a rather popular YouTube video of a young lady named Emily doing a little dance to Jonathan Coulton's song "Code Monkey". This little video, posted three months ago, has been linked to by NPR and the New York Times, and made the song very popular -- so much so, that when Jonathan was playing Chicago last night (with opening act and occasional background singers Paul and Storm), he asked if the Evanston actress was in the crowd. Of course she was, and of course she was invited to join the band onstage for a live recreation of the dance. And of course that performance was taped and posted onto YouTube, where we can all marvel at the meta-ness of it all.
