The Archaeologist Song (from Laura Bow II)

I had to do it... I had to put this up, because this song is just too silly and awesome NOT to be on YouTube. This is "I Want to Marry an Archaeologist" or simply "The Archaeologist Song" from Laura Bow II: The Dagger of Amon Ra. You can only hear this song if you have the voiced version of the game, though. For those of you who've never heard it before, THIS IS FOR YOU!


EVERYONE, SING ALONG! SIIING!

I want to marry an archaeologist

And keep his artifacts warm

I'd travel with him through jungles and deserts

And weather out every storm

If he wants me to, I'll burrow and dig
On burials small and castles big

Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist

What a marvelous gig


Mummy would love him and Daddy too

We'd be famous and well-to-do


Oh, I want to marry an archaeologist

Then I could boop-e-doo, swahoo

I could boop-e-doo, ooh!

We'd play peek-a-boo! (Ooh!)

Was this song specifically written for the game?

[hercrabbiness]

@Thatneslper Yep.

[TheBrooklynDodger]

Oh man, I haven't heard this song in what...17 years? Thank you!

[hercrabbiness]

You're welcome! :)

[RinevaS]

(Argh, YouTube ate my last comment.) The "burrowing" bit gets me the most... O.o

I had no idea so many adventure games like this existed!

[hercrabbiness]

I personally like the "peek-a-boo" bit the best. :D

Yeah, it's hard to find these kinds of games, but they are out there!

... Keep his artifacts warm...?

[stratusdoll]

OMG!! I still this song to this day, I remember playing the game and hanging out in the speakeasy (password Charleston) just to hear this song. What a treat to find this posting. Bravo!

[greystreetcmi]

This is awesome...thank you!! I remember playing this game a long time ago, and I wouldn't leave the bar until this song played!!

[flapdancer]

MP3 Version please!! :)

[YourTaintStinks]

I am actually an archaeologist...I'd like to find a girl to keep my artifacts warm...

[Thatneslper]

This is in the floppy version too. I was just playing the game and I happen to stumble upon it the first time I was visiting the speakeasy.

@CartoonDork me too :)

THANK YOU! I sing this song all the time but now I realize I'd forgotten most of the words, lol, I made up my own over the years :) I cannot believe you actually put this on youtube!! This kicks ass! I wish I could find this game (and that it would actually work on today's computers..)... I love the old Sierra Online games! King's Quest, Laura Bow, Leisure Suit Larry... Oh the memories :)

I cannot thank you enough! This made my day! :D

Whenever I hear the word "archaeologist" this song gets stuck in my head. I'm not even kidding. :P
