Who would your Monkey Island Supergroup be comprised of?
 

I originally thought this thread would be a little strange to post, but then I though 'Stuff it, I'll put it up anyway!'.

So, anyway, if you were to put together a band (music band) entirely of Monkey Island characters, who would play what instrument? Your band can be whatever genre and can have as many members as you like. Give you band a name as well as the name of a hit song. Mine would be:

Edward Van Helgen - Lead Guitar
Guybrush Threepwood - Lead Vocals and Guitar
Morgan LeFlay - Guitar (Dunno why, she'd just look cool :) )
Gaffer Crimpdigit - Brass (horns, sax, etc.)
Reginald Van Winslow - Bass (he'd remind me of Randy Jackson)
Noogie - Drum & Percussion
Jojo the Monkey - Piano & Keyboards

Name: The Screaming Narwhals
Hit Song: "Banang (Rock Mix)"

I would just rip off YRP from Final Fantasy X-2, with Elaine as Yuna, Morgan as Rikku and Carla as Paine. In those outfits. I'd be entertained.

Haha that would be awful! Final Fantasy X-2 was bad enough :p whatever floats your boat though I suppose :)

Haha, what kind of 'entertained' are we talking here?

Well, I didn't say that it would be *good*, just that I'd be entertained. :D

The 'yeah, that's hot' kind crossed with the 'haha, look at them in those stupid outfits!' kind. A bit like schadenfreude really.

Hey. I've got another idea for an MI band.

Santino - Vocals, Drums, All Guitars, Bass, Piano & Keyboards, Flute, Saxophone, Harp

"Unborn Soul Of Dead Monkeys" with their No 1 Hit Song "The Carnival of the Damned"

Vocals (growl/scream) - Murray
Rythmguitar / Vocals (growl) - LeChuck
Lead Guitar - Van Helgen
Bass - Voodoo Lady
Drums - Largo

(additional featuring in this song only: De Syninge playing the Violine of the Damned)

That would be one aggressive sounding lineup!

Check out Jojo the monkey's solo stuff.
Used to be part of the barbery coast quartet, but he left them before they got famous.

Nor Treblig was a good vocalist in the I Wonder What Happens In... series, wasn't he?

I can imagine the ferryman from Chapter 5, sitting alone in the gloom of the underworld, playing a cello.

That's a creative thought! :)

What about that G-whatisname (the one at the Crossroads who looks like an old non-human primate) playing depressing tunes on an oboe to the darkness? Slow, minor progressions on the oboe make me feel very sad, actually. *eyes well up with tears*
