The Music of Video Games [408] The Curse of Monkey Island

[crashstitches79]

One of the best games of all time, and the soundtrack is amazing. This song has haunted me in my dreams for over a decade.

[unstopable1896]

Goosepumbs!!shit i feel like im 8 years old!!=D

[oliverecords]

Reggae, people!

[TheGuyBehindThePC]

what does they say at 2:50 soory

[rakputin]

Look behind you! A three headed monkey!

[fetsen1]

I am Guybrush Threepwood, A mighty pirate!

[Zagallovh]

Don't make me laugh!

[JoLVolley]

ty for this mix up of great MI soundtracks :D:D gj

[Larrylarp]

A Pirate I was meant to be!

[NInjai555]

@Larrylarp Trim the sales and roam the sea.

[Larrylarp]

The first two were my favorite games ever, but somehow, the quality in this one dropped a bit. I mean, it's still a great game, but the jokes weren't as good.

Land made great music, of course, and the voice actors were great too.

[CboyNL]

@Larrylarp this was the best version ever in my opinion...but I never played the first two so I can't compare them. But of the newer versions it's the best.

[recordmasta001]

this takes me back

[pandagal21]

I love the MI theme

[LordMerlin1992]

best monkey island

i LOVE those old point and click andvertures.

they are faar better than the new one's, for example "sam&max - season one", even if they are great, too

[feliporivera]

what genre is this music and how do i find more songs like this ? i'll put this page in my favorites hope some of you can help me. there is a lot of pirate metal and folk combined with rock but i m looking for songs like this... relaxing

[sxille]

my favorite song of the game starts at around 9:00.. i dont really remember, but wasn't there are part on the island where this song was the main level song? could you upload it maybe?

i would really appreaciate it, thx!!

[DamazViccar]

The soundtrack is available online, I'm sure.

9:00 is the barbershop theme.

[Sukunmusik]

chek it out!

[MisterTissueBox]

Jeez, I have this deep desire deep down to really want a new Monkey Island game.

[DamazViccar]

Strange, they seem to be getting worse after the 3rd installment.

Tales of MI looks really really bad.

[chachawitz]

I agree with you...

[roXYZ1987]

this game is awesome! i love the music too!

[TheOneAndOnlyMoonCat]

Is it a really EVIL looking doorstop?

[Kijiriko]

Gotta love Tim scafer.

Psychonauts forever!

[NagaSjekira]

oh, my favorite game of all time :-) the music, the puzzles, the voice acting, the unforgettable characters, the jokes...some of the best jokes in adventure games...and games in general! ("Guybrush: Do you know anything about lifting curses?

Murray: Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp.

Guybrush: You seem bitter.

Murray: I'm sorry. It's been a rough day." xDxDxDxD)

[tredlow]

In my opinion, "Can I call you Bob?" is probably the single best line in the history of LucasArts (that includes Star Wars)

[doppleganger4827]

I would say this one was my favorite, though I still have to give the first two props. My friends were obsessed with the Monkey Island series thanks to me, along with Space Quest. And good 'ol Murray the Demonic Talking Skull, just hilarious.

[mangek009]

If you disrespect their singing they'll feed ya to a kraken?! :D

Love this game, my absolute favourite in the serie, although the first two are pretty good as well. :)

[GypsyRed]

I've never played this game nor heard it's soundtrack, but Holy Crap, that pirate song was hilarious. LOL!

[doppleganger4827]

Just don't say orange, you'll ruin everything...porridge maybe?

[airfoobar]

Door hinge, of course!

Gypsy, can you imagine the pirate song being.. interactive?

[ketzerlino]

one of the best games ever made

[seriouskano2]

i love this game. the music and the art style are just fantastic. great puzzles, great humour, great game.

[FinalGamerJames]

Oh god this is an awesome game, sadly the only Monkey Island game I actually played as well.

[iwantagoodnameplease]

That's easily fixable!

I urge you to play the first two, somehow... they're great :)

[kingxob]

I've gone back and played this game for the music alone.

[maniaticoaleman]

This was one of the best games I ever had! As a kid, it took me nearly 2 years to complete it without help. The music kicks ass! Could you also upload the Grim Fandango music someday? :D

[garudoh]

Yep, I will.

[bozaki87]

back when we had no internet access and walkthroughs, barely knew english and looked up words like "aye" and  "the sea cucamber" in the dictionary...

damn this adventure game tops every one i have ever played....

[toKs1c]

great game nuf said
