Seems about right for a question for AI (i.e. I don't really care if it gets it right, and might be funny). It's answer:

I think you might be referring to "Code Monkey" by Jonathan Coulton! It's a humorous song about a frustrated programmer working in an office environment. The song became quite popular in tech circles and captures the everyday struggles of a software developer dealing with boring assignments, office politics, and unrequited workplace crushes.

The song has a catchy, somewhat melancholy tune that contrasts with the mundane subject matter, making it both funny and oddly relatable for people in the programming world. Jonathan Coulton is known for his geeky, tech-themed songs, and "Code Monkey" is probably his most well-known piece.

Not sure it's what you were looking for, but I like it. Here's a copy with lyrics
