Jojo the monkey/Monkey island theme

[@arthur3501]

L'art, c'est un geste effectué avec plus d'habileté et d'innovation que la norme. Monkey island c'est de l'art.

[@The_Sandcrawler]

That’s the second best rendition of this music I’ve ever heard.

[@shableep]

This is easily the VERY BEST arrangement of this song I've heard, and I have an unhealthy relationship with the number of these arrangements I've heard. How the violins come in after the flute is *chefs kiss*. A true spiritual representation of the song.

[@Bassfuke]

Chefs kiss , a *mwhaaa!* sound with 👌

[@ThiloHenrikSchrodel-bh1fx]

my words precisely!

[@silvanodonaehris5435]

Best performance of Monkey Island theme so far, specially with Jojo's song at the beginning (the unofficial Monkey Island anthem ❤)

[@braddock5615]

Honestly I think this performance is the best version on KZbin. Can't wait for Return to Monkey Island

[@joelbarroso9386]

Don't cry you are a full growth adult.

[@Goury1]

Seems like we're both crying! And we are not the only ones, I'm certain...

[@liquidjinro]

❤

[@Cine-dave]

I do every time, when I come here after a while. My father played this game and I grew up watching him. Music can activate memories in a instance.

[@cmdrreggit]

I'm not crying! You're crying! (.........😭😢😭)

Not yet im 17!!

[@yondoodle]

Crazy to see how much alive and kicking these games fandom is today, LucasArts and the creators of Monkey Island really left a lasting impression on a lot of people that see it than more than just a silly series of spaghetti-pirate point and click adventure games with silly characters. Wonderful performance OP

[@Thaumazo83]

Guybrush Threepwood was one of the best things in our (early millennials') childhoods, that's why we love him (and Elaine, of course)

@@Thaumazo83 Yeah dude, it feels like you know them, or at least people like them. Very well written characters

[@ayime12]

Congrats!!! Ron Gilbert recommend this cover on his blog!!!

[@Bassfuke]

Holy hell! I have to check this out

[@impablomations]

I think this is possibly one of, if not THE best version of this.

[@Tandler77]

This is the second best version I've ever heard.

[@shableep]

I've been on a Monkey Island Theme song binge and this is easily the best one. If you listen to the theme on the MT-32, THIS sounds like a true recreation of what the original composer was going for.

[@mvl71]

The Floppotron version is somewhere in my top-3

[@tukkek]

If only we could get a version that isn't stretched and small on full-screen :(

[@vpryt18]

The arrangement is perfect. Recording, levels and EQ etc are also pro degree. Can be used in an original release

[@gustavosantos106]

The starting part with the solist accordion is ♥

[@itotophe]

I just had teardrops listening to this. Old memories. Many many thanks...

[@liloulachaudasse7295]

I could listen to this accordion introduction all day long.

[@gnatzmann]

Thank you for sharing this piece of art. The Jojo theme was one of my favorites in the whole series. In the game, I sometimes went to the Bloody Lip Bar just to hear Jojo play. The Monkey Island theme arrangement is equally wonderful. Feels like childhood 🙂

This is so beautiful it literally pushes tears in my eyes. Song of Jojo is like life itself.

[@gregbeyer9507]

Absolutely beautiful rendition of a wonderfully nostalgic song. Kudos to the orchestra.

[@dipatata_87]

That's the second biggest interpretation i've ever heard !!

[@kriss3d]

Love the reference of it only being the SECOND biggest :)

[@privateagent]

Where is the first rendition?

[@hen3drik]

I think this is the best version of the title theme I've seen so far. When the stringed instruments joined, I got goosebumps! Absolutely amazing!

[@88_Delta]

4 people couldn't hold their breath for 10 min, and are pissed ;-)

[@RaterisimoCBA]

Such a cool rendition to Monkey Island, very well played and the flutes played their parts perfectly a lot of dynamics and lively ! The way it was intended by Michael Land ! I would so love to play this theme live on guitar or piano myself .. one day !

[@jean-damienmuller5995]

Always a pleasure to listen those songs! It brings me 30 years in the past... Very very nice job of all the orchestra!!!

[@Fabsan84]

That is an unbelievably good approach to the themes, brought back chills and tears from my youth. Thanks for this piece of art!

[@NISMOSkylineGTR]

Jojo played by the girl on the accordion is absolutely beutifull, I`ve got chills down my spine!! Probably the best I`ve ever heard! KUDOS! Keep up the good work! The monkey island theme also kick ass! Please do some more!!!!

[@Pingwn]

Why am I still crying listening to this after 8 years?...

[@koryyyy]

I come here, once in a while, to travel thru my young age. With a tear rolling my cheek, with this awesome work of music, with this great piece of game that had an important place in my heart, feeling my best memories with friends. Just Thanks.

[@MiBxItchy]

imho this is the best orchestral arrangement from monkey island. Love it and listen to it since years. The people are great.

[@Bassfuke]

I heavily borrowed from another that I saw in youtube, if I could just remember what it was...

[@Bassfuke]

oh, the Metropole orchestra, that's what it was.

[@TomChucklehead]

Girl playing the accordion, I love you. That is all.

[@crimelab5318]

That was one the most beautiful videos I've ever seen in my entire life. Every single orchestra's member deserve the world! Well done :D

[@javmar86]

Of all the interpretations and arrangements on youtube, this could be the top best !

[@matfly4832]

Very nice, the best version of the best theme ever! 👌

[@BaronSpamedi]

i think that's the best arrangement I've heard. I love the slightly more breathy tone the flutes are using in the main theme too.

[@london3618]

This brings a big smile upon my face. Thank you very much 👍🏻🫶

[@ajax2013]

Has to be my most favourite tune ever, remember playing this when i was around 10, the gameplay and the music was sublime!

[@Bassfuke]

@Ovalopus Well, maybe it comforts you to hear that it was a degree on bass guitar...but instead of playing fusion jazz, I took the unorthodox approach.The jury decided that it was a great idea, but not so brilliant showcase of my skills as a player, and gave me 3/5. Well that's GOOD, but I hoped for better. But yeah, it was fun, and I intend to expand my horizons, and do this again...with a bigger band!

[@paolocammelli6138]

We're waiting for the bigger band...

And you made play here (SPECTACULAR) 2 soundtracks of 2 of my fav games OF ALL TIME. Monkey Island and Gabriel Knight! Have you consider Syberia also?? at least this one: syberia theme ost (PLZ you got to!!!)

This song gives me the chills, regardless of which version. Even as 8 bit.

Ahoy there! Very well done👍 literally one of the greatest piece among game soundtracks

[@VentusDivinum]

I would like to replay the games with your soundtrack ! :)

[@santiagof5511]

The best faithful arrangement I've heard. Awesome

[@dasgata]

Not _the_ best cover of the MI theme just because it ties with the Metropole Orchestra cover. Both are freaking awesome and I can't tell which one is better. This one seems to me more faithful to the original arrangement but still the Metropole Orchestra cover is just as good and it includes the introduction song. I love the drums & percussion in that cover, but here there are some instruments that are missing there. And the lady with the accordion, she is just perfect! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@peterbaker8369]

Absolutely amazing arrangement to a great theme. Well done, you have great talent. Well recorded too.

I love both these songs, the games, the jokes, and everything about the coolest pirate that has ever lived. But dude, research! While playing Jojo the monkey from MI2, you showed footage of smilin' stans previously owned vessels, from monkey island 1! You might have showed other MI1 clips, but i didn't watch the footage all the way through. Nice video, and a great cover, that i have absolutely fallen in love with.
