This really makes me want another MI game, it doesn't matter if LucasArts or TellTale handles it though. They both can do amazing things with the series.
I was 6 years old when I first played Monkey Island in 1990. It's unbelievable how it's so timeless and I'm so damn happy I was born in a perfect timeline/generation of the beginning of gaming (well not technically but you get the point)
Thank the Orchestra making this music cover. And thanks TB for bringing me this video to knowledge.
This theme ALWAYS, when done well, brings me to nostalgic tears. Thank you so much for this awesome piece of music. True classic tune and done like this. Warms my heart.
Enjoy it, as this orchestra is about to be canceled.The populist government of the Netherlands and it's quite retarded voters think it's elitist crap and made it's existence impossible. They rather pay 200 times more for a single war machine like just 1 Joint Strike Fighter. God bless the populist mind.

@spirdxxb if you meant to say that the intro doesn't belong to the "Monkey Island" theme you are wrong. This is a rendition of the theme of "The Curse of Monkey Island", the third installment of the franchise, although with new arrangements for a symphonic orchestra, rather than Caribbean sounds.
@ProjectLastDance Madre de dios! es el pollo diablo! -Si! He dejado en libertad los prisioneros y ahora vengo por ti! still the best game in the world...hope i'll find it somehow someday...lost my no1 cd...damn!
El pícolo no lo hace bien, suena a destiempo y no todo son arpegios ascendentes. El que arregló la pieza no prestó mucha atención a esto haciendo que el conjunto no suene tan bien.
It is really wonderful to hear pieces of ( amazingly good ) music from the games of your childhood played by a full orchestra... It really is testimony to the quality of those games, what amount of talent went into them, and how much loved they are still. Be well.
listening to this beautiful song makes me wanna chop my leg off, wear an eye-patch, sail to the caribbean for a treasure hunt while duelling skeletons
it is amazing how good a person can feel about his orchestra that can play this amazing arangment from a video game without any remors or second thoughts and delivers this amazing music ...congratulations to the orchestra guys and the uploader
@MrThreshold2009 download ScummVM and you can play secret of monkey island, lechucks revenge & curse of monkey island on windows 7/vista or whatever :)
In the last few weeks, i listend to a lot of Remixes and Interpretations of the Monkey Island Theme Song -- This is the one that touches my heart, lets me rejoice and makes me feel like a little boy all over again :)
