Favourite Monkey Island Theme

[Grulien]

Hmm.. I'm not sure. I think I love them all!
But I have kinda preference for these:
-Main Theme (all versions, including Jojo's one )
-LeChuck's Theme (especially in MI2)
-Woodtick
-Largo's Theme
-Booty Island's Shop
-Blood Island

They´re good. But I think MI 2 has the best music.

Well Lechuck theme (MI 1), the whole woodtick in MI 2, Stan (MI 1), Puerto Pollo, Rum Rogers house and the ship on the second chapter in MI 1. I think that´s all.

MI2's soundtrack is good, but there are some themes in SOMI that MI2 just can't match. Like the Melee Woods/Following the Shopkeeper. I personally think Michael Land is a better composer than Clint Bajakien, even though Clint's soundtracks are much more atmospheric, ambient, and help to fill in a lot of empty spaces in the game with something nice to listen to. The term "puzzle music" comes to mind. Michael Land is better at actual themes that you can hum or whistle, though.

i wouldn use term better, as they are both great of course. music in games generally speaking was better. perfect example is outlaws music

and all others

Yeah, I actually hate the music in Outlaws lol. As well as what I've heard of Grim Fandango's soundtrack.

I've had the Monkey Island 2 theme from when Guybrush is at the campfire with the other pirates stuck in my head for ages, and thinking about it, it has to be my favourite theme bar the opening from curse.
About 2:40 in

well favorite part is MI2 if it's about the music all in all. Largo's Theme, Dread's Theme and also Governor Phatt's theme, the Bloody Lip and Mad Marty's / 3 Pirates - Theme. There're lots of jazzy themes in CMI, which are also very nice. In EMI I love the Prothesis-Shop, the Lawyers, the Scummbar and Diving Competition theme (MARCO... POOOOLOOOOO).

[Rather Dashing]

There's just something about the Secret of Monkey Island main theme that seems like a slight cut above the rest in a soundtrack filled with what is some of the best game music ever created.

The MI2 music is incredible! I'm playing it now and really I only remembered the PC speaker version I used to play... so far I have been loving:

* The voodoo swamp theme on Scabb, moody!
* The theme from the shop on Booty - rock'n'roll in parts, carnival in others

The swamp theme is almost choral, I'd love to see them run with that in the event of a second special edition - great music.

I'm ignoring the obvious, of course: Lechuck's theme is iconic, and Largo's is wonderfully comic/mischievous.

For me, the end of MI2 will never have the effect it had when that theme jumped out at you in the middle of the night from a PC speaker that couldn't be turned down.

Blondebeards Chicken Shop.

Then Stan's Theme.

i love all the music from monkey island, but monkey island 2 was my favourite out of the series, and theres a few i songs i loved from the game - top 3 in no particular order excluding the main theme ( i actually had that as my ringtone on my mobile when i was younger lol) Jojo the monkey on the piano (i used to know how to play that on the keyboard) - the theme when guybrush jumps in the water to search for the sunken monkey head and the soppy as it sounds i like the lovers theme between guybrush and elaine

i also liked the monkey island version of - the leg bones connected the hip bones...etc lol, it was very catchy lol

[MusicallyInspired]

That's not half bad .

[SurplusGamer]

Most of my favourites are from Monkey Island 2... the swamp theme, Largo's Theme, the tune that plays when you get arrested on Phatt Island, the Kate Capsize/Diving for treasure theme. SO much good stuff.

I remember when I first played Monkey Island I was always fond of that little piece of music that plays when you are talking to the lookout right at the start.

[MusicallyInspired]

The swamp theme from MI2 is good, but I prefer the original rendition from SOMI. The swamp theme is nice and spooky, but the theme from SOMI is nice and in-your-face whimsically horrific (for lack of a better word).

[DinghyDog]

I love the main theme of the game, and LeChuck's theme is very good either.
I like Dread's theme, Largo's theme, and a lot more!

[Jexxer]

There's just so much to choose from and so many that have already been mentioned...

I'd say off the top of my head right now my favorites would be the diving for treasure theme from MI2, and the ghost pirate jig from SMI.

[purple_monkfish]

Lechucks theme!
I always find myself humming it, perhaps because for a while it was my mother's custom ringtone on my phone hahahaha.

[Ravey]

Yup, this sounds about right.

Secret of Monkey Island
Guybrush and Elaine
Lechuck's Revenge
Captain Dread
Phatt Island
Bone Song
LeChuck's Lament
Curse of Monkey Island
Jazzy Voodoo in the Swamp
Monkeys of the Sea Cucumber
Escape from Monkey Island
House of Sticks

[XuGator]

There really isnt any song in this game that compares to this. Head and shoulders above the rest.
