Monkey Island 2 (SE) - The Bones Song

[gabor12800]

It's much better if you listening just the backround music and turn off the persons voices and read the text I think.

[XonWechtvt]

Leg bone, huh? In Swedish the words for leg and bone (ben) are the same which makes things confusing. But that has nothing to do with this. Let's just quietly assume Guybrush's dad's name is Ben for the final confusion, oh well, terrible singing, good night folks.

I like the original better. No nostalgia-goggles; I just saw the old one AFTER this one. The beat is funnier and that you read it in the melody of the song is just funnier

I'm the 12,000 Viewer!! =)

[cgsmitherine3]

guybrush's eyes....gotta love it XD

[Pesanteuse]

I loved the SE but this song is so much better in the original, the singing is awful! :0

[flyingcumshot]

I can honestly say that this is the only part of the SE that is better in the original.

[TheSquallAce]

i thought i did something wrong when i first did this

thought it was an endless loop!

[fruntable]

when this came up on my game i had to switch to the original, its so much better, this was disappointing :(

[yoyole123]

Gosh, how did lucasarts fucked up so bad? I'm really glad they fixed it. What did they thing, that the players will not notice? that they just wouldn't mind it? Go figure...

[masseymovies]

@gemberkoekje Yeah, it's fixed on the PC version along with a few other issues (cross-fading, timing on puzzles, missing music in Dinky Jungle) (not fixed on the consoles though), Steam updated it at the end of July. Good thing too. I'd recommend taking this version down once the new one's up so that people don't get turned off by the out of sync-ness. :)

[Rodrirox]

Many years waiting for this... I'm dissappointed.

Awful sincro and mother voice.... The best moment in MI2 :(

[JackOfSpades93]

This is one of the best musical moments in gaming history, and they just had to fuck it up.

[Boogeymangr]

it's not out of sync in the game, just this vid.

[gemberkoekje]

@Boogeymangr Appearantly, they've fixed it. I haven't checked it yet as I was on holiday, but I'll remake the video with the fixed version when I have time.

I swear it was like this when it first came out ;)

[Boogeymangr]

@gemberkoekje ah,good think I played it after they fixed it. Would tottaly ruin my best scene.I remember when they released the first special edition I was waiting for 2 just for this scene.

[masseymovies]

@wesclips They released a patch today and fixed the bone song. It's back in sync now as it should be (at least on the PC version).

[IIARROWS]

@masseymovies

No, a patch would change the music to old one and clear those voices...

[wesclips]

wow they really screwed up on this one. Obviously no love for the original, just a money spinner. Out of sync voices above all else. simply.. wow.

[skink84]

T-T terrible voice on the woman, as many others i loved the old stuff. The remake realy " fucked" this one up a bit

[PSfreak321]

@skink84 no its for ps3 and wii instead of just pc u mean it improved it

[skink84]

@PSfreak321 I know that it is a remake and you can play it on ps3 and alot other machines. What I'm saying is that they did not make this scene that good. The womans voice is terrible to start with. Love most other things with the remake

[PSfreak321]

@skink84 ya i hate the voice too lol

[kawon93]

@skink84 Fucked up ?, you can still play the original right ?..

[L3322]

im still singing it xD

[EvilNightwolf]

Why is the Screen still red after he wakes up? :o

Anyway, the scene is much funnier in the original.

[Linkjoy123]

@EvilNightwolf It's the same friggan thing. How is it funnier?

[EyeoftheU]

It's out of sync because sound files has about half a second of unnecessary space at the end of them.

I saw a video by some guy who had removed those pauses somehow.

[Flaremouse]

Wow... They're good

[TuxxMovies]

Out. of. synch. Why ruin such a mith as MI2 ?

[zwoltopia]

Why...

This is probably in everyones top-5 moments of MI:2 and off all the pieces to screw up, that one has to be out of sync....why??

I love the special edition, but this is an pretty epic fail. :T

[FifthFantasy]

Favourite part of Monkey Island 2, now ruined :O That woman's voice was awful :(

[JoeMudd123]

@FifthFantasy I think she sounds hilarious! :O Imagine what the woman who raised Guybrush to be what he is today would sound like.

[lostmemory2]

@FifthFantasy and always entering late :s

[Idanyboy]

"use oar"? srsly? you can just walk on it. It's like doing "use path" to walk off screen...

[gemberkoekje]

@Idanyboy Oh don't be nitpicky :P it works either way... but thanks for the advice, I'll stop 'using' paths now :P

[Neclea]

Honestly I prefer the original version... In the SE the voices are slightly out of synch and I think that the music in the original version is better

[CTFlyer7]

The singing is SO out of sync. But then that's just what we've come to expect from modern LucasArts isn't it.

[JoeMudd123]

This was my favourite moment in the original, and with this AWESOME music and a hilarious performance by the cast, it's probably now my favourite MI moment ever. :D
