Slightly off-topic, but the song "Live" by Paul and Storm reminds me of DeathSpank every time I hear it.

And the opening of Dream Theater's "Best of Times" reminds me of Torchlight.
Right, sorry to drag us further off-topic - now back to Monkey Island-related conversation and discussion.

That squeak still hasn't been fixed and yesterday I whistled the Stan's Shipyard tune in the toilet really loudly.

How about "What's My Age Again?" by Blink-182? It kind of reminds me of Guybrush's antics as a pirate, and yet he still acts like a prepubescent child despite being an adult. Here are the lyrics in this link:

Iron Maiden's "Blood Brothers" sort of reminded me of Monkey Island when I was listening to it the other day. It has some beautiful melodies in some of the less heavy parts of the song, some of which reminded me of Monkey Island. It'd probably be a pretty good song to make a tribute video to, except it would probably have to be trimmed a little.

How about "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion? Kind of reminds me of Elaine's pining for her husband Guybrush.

Bump. I hate to double-post, but how about "All Star" by Smash Mouth? Should remind me pretty much of Guybrush.

 .But, yes, in some ways it does remind you a little of Guybrush. "I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed" - this can certainly be related to Guybrush at times (though, not all of the time; Guybrush does show some moments of intelligence). And there are other lines throughout the song that sort of relate to Guybrush, his experiences, his situation and his way of living: "Didn't make sense not to live for fun" - Guybrush always seems to want to do what he wants. "So much to do so much to see" - It sort of sums up Guybrush's situation when he is first seen washing up on the shores of Melee Island and is automatically thrust into the pirating world. "Only shooting stars break the mold" - Guybrush does not fit the mold one bit ."Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me" - Nobody would have expected Guybrush to last a day in the pirating world, but heck, look at him now. He's killed LeChuck 5 times, he's famous for it, and he's the pirating equivalent of a 'rockstar' or an 'allstar'. Yes, I guess this does remind me a little of Guybrush, lyrically.

Bump, again. I like this thread too much to let it die.
Another piece of music that reminds me of Monkey Island is 4:45-4:57 of Dream Theater's "Panic Attack". I'm not exactly sure why, but it reminds me of LeChuck each time I listen to it. Perhaps it sounds a little like on of LeChuck's themes, but I'm not too sure of that. Edit: Wait, here we are. I've found out why it reminds me of LeChuck, it is because it sounds similar to one of his themes. The part of "Panic Attack" that I mentioned actually sounds quite similar to some of tunes from the opening minute-or-so of "Rollercoaster of Death" from the 'Curse...' soundtrack. At least I think so, anyway - I'm certain that there's a distinct similarity between the two pieces of music. They're not exactly the same, of course. But I just find them to sound similar. Quote:

I'll contribute to helping keep this thread alive.
A bit old school ( I blame my involvement in SCA for this one), but I associate sea shanties, especially "Don't Forget Your Old Shipmates" and "High Barbary" for some reason, with Monkey Island. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGTsVUSiM1g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zs-Zr95aw8

How about Amy Lee's cover of "Sally's Song" from The Nightmare Before Christmas? Though the song describes Sally's feelings for Jack Skellington and her fears that disaster will happen through his mistake, the song may describe Elaine's feelings for Guybrush and how his mistakes may end up having him get killed like they did in Tales of Monkey Island, especially in Chapter 4.
I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand. And though I'd like to stand by him, Can't shake this feeling that we have. The worst is just around the bend. And does he notice My feelings for him? And will he see How much he means to me? I think it's not to be. What will become of my dear friend? Where will his actions lead us then? Oh, how I'd like to join the crowd In their enthusiastic cloud. Try as I may, it doesn't last. And will we ever End up together? And will we ever End up together? No, I think not. It's never to become, For I am not...the one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnW6scwyeHo |

That actually sounds like it would suit Morgan's situation more than Elaine's. That's just how I see it.

311's version of The Cure's "Lovesong". It has that Carribbean island-y feel.

Virgin Black's instrumental "Weep For Me" kind of traces to Guybrush being hurt by LeChuck's Cutlass of Kaflu and then dying in Elaine's arms. I wondered why I didn't know what the instrumental's name was when it was played in Haggis' YouTube video of the incident almost a year back.

How about "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne? I think it kind of fits about how LeChuck acted friendly to Guybrush and Elaine from ToMI Chapter 2 all the way to Chapter 4, until LeChuck double-crossed them both and fatally stabbed Guybrush in the chest, which kind of fits the lyrics in the chorus: "And all this time you were pretending / So much for my happy ending."

It's more general-piratey than specifically MI, but I wanted to put in a plug for Alestorm (http://www.myspace.com/alestorm).
