So what are your songs that remind you of the Monkey Island series? Me, I'm going with "She's Like Heroin" by System Of A Down, because some lyrics remind me of Elaine's craziness in the courthouse and elsewhere in ToMI Chapter 4, and of Guybrush being forced to wear a dress so he can come to Elaine's party (and probably charm her) in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

Homecoming by Kanye West

I don't particularly like the song but it really reminds me of MI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdAIMCKK_-w

D.A.N.C.E by Justice, ever since that crazy dancing movie of Guybrush shortly before EP 5 arrived.

For some reason, the end of the credits song for Charmed. :/

It's gonna sound weird...but "The Way Love Goes" by Brian McKnight...the beat just makes me think of Monkey Island...

I'm a big soundtrack fan, and I recently became aware of the score to the 1968 film DARK OF THE SUN by Jacques Loussier. It's actually written with a melodic sensibility not all that different from Michael Land. Just visit this page, for example:

http://screenarchives.com/title_deta...RK-OF-THE-SUN/

And check out the audio clip of the first track. (Clicking the name of the track gives you real audio, clicking the TIME of the track gives you an mp3.) It has a very Melee Island Forest vibe (one that grows more pronounced as the track goes on).

Worth picking up for fans of film scores -- or just interesting music!

Puola - Stoned on Monkey Island 2000

Is music made about the game cheating?

Oh hey, that's pretty cool music!!

Debbie82 · 06/17/2010, 02:15 pm

How about "Master of Puppets" by Metallica, which made me think about Guybrush's final battle with LeChuck in ToMI Chapter 5?

Island of Monkeys ~ Logan Whitehurst

Wait a minute... Do you think he may have been an MI fan?

'Hope' by Rush

It's an acoustic instrumental from their album 'Snakes and Arrows'. I love the song and I love the album, but 'Hope' is the only song that really reminds me of Monkey Island. I'm afraid the song isn't on Youtube, so the only way you'll hear it is through illegal/legal download or if you were to buy the album (which would be a good decision anyway).

Debbie82 · 06/17/2010, 06:10 pm

"Written in the Stars" from Tim Rice's Aida reminds me of Guybrush and Elaine throughout their adventures, no matter what fate befalls them, in ToMI. That, and that 1981 song "Lady".

How about "Whisper" by Evanescence, which kind of reminds me of somewhere near the end of Chapter 4 of ToMI?

I'm afraid I only like those guys' instrumentals.

Debbie82 · 07/03/2010, 02:09 pm

Keeping this up...

How about "Come Back to Me" by David Cook? Reminds me of Elaine's affection for Guybrush.

Yeah, his voice is far from great. But hey, what do you expect from a Scottish pirate who has a keytar?

I've seen them live a few times and they're an excellent and really fun live band. The last song I saw them play was Lazytown's You Are A Pirate.
