  • Perfect :) Guybrush Threepwood whooohoooo

  • awesome!!!!!

  • Wow.

  • Excellent work!

  • Really awesome!!

  • Epic.

  • Truly EPIC!

  • 0:30 - 0:50 WOOOOOOOOOOW. Hat off, hail to the queen!!

  • A woman played the theme of one of the best games ever. Is this the twilight zone? ^^

  • just amazing! love it

  • nice! really nice!

  • best version on youtube. possibly the world.

  • The arrangement strangely sounds very familiar =)

  • @w3sp Yep, you definitely rule YouTube with an iron fist... Truly a legend.

    People stopped being creative and use their own interpretation when it comes to this tune...

  • IMPRESSIVE !!!!! THAT'S what a real musical talent should be nuriShed for !!!

  • Why did you have to arrange precisely THIS song! Now I'm forced to love you. Okthanksbye!

  • awesome

  • If I could, I'd hire you to play this whenever I was about to leave the house on a journey. It sounds really nice on a harp. Well done!

  • How could anyone dislike this? This is so awesome!

  • Harps make everything sounds like in a dream XD

  • Amazing!!! Ive always wondered how to operate such a big instrument.

  • A bit weird at places but still great, very nice.

  • How does a european know monkey island? Cool....

  • @neoursa lol.. that's the most narrow-minded comment I've read today.. (and I had a couple christian comments too).. you americans are funny as hell :D

  • @nervmichnich

    Das hab ich mir grad allerdings auch gedacht :D

  • @neoursa many, maany europeans do not just know but love it! :D

  • I have (wait ... should I admit this?) never heard the Monkey Island theme before, so, while I have nothing to compare this with - I'd say it's pluckin' GREAT! (I mean that in the literal sense, of course)

  • <3<3<3<3

  • I Love it!! WOW!!!!

  • Totally Love and respect!

  • Awsome! Really great performance of one of the best themes in computer games history! Thank you so much for uploading!

  • Bravo ! it's very good.

  • lovely

  • This is FANTASTIC.

  • Came here to say something Ive found out everyones been asking: HOW CAN SOMEONE DISLIKE THIS?

  • How can people dislike this?

    It's "Monkey Island" for gods sake! and ontop of that awesomeness is a harp, playing more awesomeness! And a chick looking good while doing it! It's a nerdgasm all over!

  • Superb.

  • OMG FANTASTIC!!!!!

  • Edward Van Halgen would be proud.

  • Marry me?

  • somebody should make a beat for this

  • i hear mad reggae potential at the beginning 

  • Fucking awsome!!

  • Excellent!! Congrats :)

  • Great performance! Very cool.

    Nevertheless I must say, I'm quite fed up with w3sp's arrangement of this tune. Although w3sp is a real legend and an epically talented guy, it has some bad chords in it, and EVERYBODY uses it instead of making their own arrangements. It's really annoying. This arrangement is everywhere and nobody uses their own creativity anymore when it comes to Monkey Island tunes.

  • you are awesome! ;)

  • There is something missing in the credits of Monkey Island 2:

    Ok, that's it, turn off your computer and do something constructive.

    Like play a little racquetball...

    • Or sing Welsh folk songs at the bank.

    • Or dig for buried treasure.

    • OR PLAY THIS WONDERFUL TUNE ON A HARP! ← MISSING! ;)

  • Wow! Genelec monitor!

  • One of best rendiotions.

  • 3 dislikes !!! look! a 3 headed monkey running your way !!!

  • 5 people fight like dairy farmers.

  • @LanceVader How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

  • @TheBlackStar999

    What? How dare you! My name is feared in every dirty corner of this island!

  • @LanceVader So you got that job as janitor, after all.

  • @LanceVader So you got that job as a janitor after all?

  • @221b

    I'll have you know my sword is famous all over the Caribbean!

  • @LanceVader Will you get it back soon so that you can stop talking and start fighting! Argh! :-)

  • Awesome!

  • A pirate's life for me! (puzzles not included)

  • beautiful.

  • Wow... now this takes me back. Excellent excellent cover!

  • :D !

  • Hard to believe someone could dislike this....

    What's wrong with these folks nowadays!

    Liked, Faved!

  • @Bytefodder some of the low end of the song sounds slightly incorrect, but it's nothing to dislike about.

  • i have no idea what this song is but i saw some video of a lady playing the harp and it looked cool. this is awesome!

  • amazing...love it and love your harp

  • Wow, this is excellent! very well done.

    I think the people disliking this should eat some poisoned meat and go to "sleep".

  • Just beautiful...and tropical.

  • LOVE IT

  • Very good playing, and great arrangement, too :)

  • GUAOOO, COÑO, ESTA MUY BIEN, DEBE SER BIEN DIFICIL SACAR CUALQUIER COSA EN EL ARPA...

  • Can you PLEASEEEE do the track: Ezio's Family from Assassin's Creed!

    That would hear soo nice on this instrument! :o

  • awesome, love it :)

  • Im in love

  • wonderful

  • LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING, I DON'T EVEN...

  • i don't think there is a better instrument for that theme :)

  • this is amasing ♥

  • Nice. You really need to get rid of the .mp4 thing off your videos tho lol.

  • I have never played Monkey Island so I'm not familiar with the music. But this was enjoyable. Good work. :D

  • @LobsterFusion Give it a try. It is still one of the greatest games of all time. Highly recommended.

  • Monkey Island is awesome. Props for playing a video game theme.

  • I wish I had a harp, they cost so much! So I just stuck with flute, keyboard, and guitar.

  • Nice. More video game music!

  • can we book you?

  • @FrozenFenrir

    Yeah that would be awesome. I just got blown off my chair...

  • there should be a 2nd harp but very great.

  • @m14g all the more hats off for doing it convincingly on one, then :D

  • @BeastOfSoda ????? it just makes parts some better.

  • Pretty cool. Good job :)

  • ROFL BLACK PEOPLE

  • You win 12,000 internets.

  • EXCELLENT WORK, Alexandra!

  • splendid

  • you made mistakes

  • @FetissiJuselius Nobody's Perfect?

  • Nice work!

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! Comparing with this performance Davy Jones is an amateur! Super well done!

  • wow, this is really amazing. i played the harp for 10 years and had a break the last three years. i want to get into it again, so can you tell me where to get the sheets for this? i want to play it!

  • Why all the nostalgia, people? Monkey Island 5 (with input from Ron GIlbert) came out TWO YEARS AGO. And it was pretty awesome.

  • oh god the nostalgiaaaaaa

  • Could you explain the reason why some strings are colored?

    love the song btw

  • @preske The C's are red, the F's are blue/black,and the notes in between are clear. It'd be near impossible to play without the strings being colored!

  • This makes me feel so sad that I can't play monkey island again for the first time.

  • While this is very well executed and beautifully played, it is disappointingly a bit marred by a faulty bassline in places. Otherwise, excellent.

  • wow. i love it.

  • That was great! Good job! Oh the wonderful memories!

  • This is amazing. Well done!!!

  • Incredible ^_^

  • 1 dislike? Lechuck you evil bastard.

  • @theflamingJ Looks like Largo has now also disliked.

  • A++

  • Sooooo Good!!! If ever get married I want this shit playing at my reception LOL

  • @artfulglv19 lol always wanted to see what a gamer wedding would look like

  • Comment removed

  • Fantastic

  • Absolutely perfect

  • Awesome.

  • Very nice rendition.

  • Thank you so much for this. I can't wait to show my 7 year old son. He loves the games as well.
