[@Moogerton9]

I love how Guybrush roasts them in the last verse, but they still go "A Pirate I was Meant to be!" at the chorus as if that was somehow still a legit verse in their heads.

[@Pirateyware]

No better comeback!

[@SavageGreywolf]

the greatest moment in the history of adventure gaming

[@GamerGarm]

Never forget lads, shanties over panties. Godspeed, lads.

[@vilicles]

“Oh, that was a GOOD ONE!” “...no it wasn’t!”

[@Palidor]

Almost forgot to listen to this today

[@WannaTradePants]

It's a shame because it's by far one of the biggest highlights of the entire game.

[@varnas4908]

Very late response but absolutely agreed

[@raoulherbord1345]

the second best i would say

[@azumarill1403]

Lyrics =P *Haggis:* We're a band of vicious pirates *Edward:* A-sailin' out to sea! *Bill:* When you hear our gentle singing... *Haggis:* You´ll be sure to turn and flee! *Guybrush:* Oh, this is just ridiculous. *Guybrush:* Come on, men! We've got to recover that map! *Bill:* That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap! *Bill:* We're a club of tuneful rovers *Haggis:* We can sing in every clef! *Edward:* We can even hit the high notes! *Haggis:* It's just too bad we're tone deaf! *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* Let's go defeat that evil pirate! *Edward:* We know he's sure to lose, 'cause we know just where to fire at! *Edward:* We're thieving balladeers. *Haggis:* A gang of cutthroat mugs. *Bill:* To fight us off ye don't need guns! *Edward:* Just really good ear-plugs! *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* All right, crew, let's get to work! *Haggis:* Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we'd never shirk. *Haggis:* We'll fight you in the harbor. *Bill:* We'll battle you on land. *Edward:* But when you meet singing pirates... *Guybrush:* They'll be more than you can stand. *Bill:* Ooooh! That was a good one! *Guybrush:* No, it wasn't. *Guybrush:* No time for song! We've got to move! *Bill:* The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove! *Bill:* We're a pack a' scurvy sea-dogs. *Haggis:* Have we pity? Not a dram! *Edward:* We all eat roasted garlic... *Haggis:* ...then sing from the diaphragm! *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* Less singing, more sailing. *Edward:* When we defeat our wicked foe, his ship he will be bailing! *Bill:* If ye try ta fight us... *Haggis:* ...you will get a nasty whackin'! *Edward:* If ya disrespect our singin'... *Bill:* ...we will feed ya to a kraken! *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming. *Haggis:* We're ready to set sail, though the cannons need a-priming. *Edward:* We're troublesome corsairs! *Bill:* And we've come to steal your treasures! *Haggis:* We would shoot you on the downbeat... *Edward:* ...but we have to rest five measures. *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* Stop! Stop! Stop! *Bill:* The brass is what we'll polish and the deck is what we'll mop. *Guybrush:* You say you're nasty pirates... ...scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers? From what I've seen I tell you... ...you're not pirates! You're just slackers! *Bill/Edward/Haggis:* A pirate i was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! *Guybrush:* We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange. *Haggis:* And...um... *Bill:* Well... *Edward:* ...err... *Bill:* Door hinge? *Edward:* No, no... *Bill:* Guess the song's over, then. *Haggis:* Guess so. *Edward:* Okay, back to work. *Guybrush:* Well gee. I feel a little guilty, now.

Thanx for the effort

[@cr4yv3n]

I think he says "jolly good ear plugs" instead of "really good ear plugs".

[@yvindnilsen94]

@@cr4yv3n im getting jolly aswell.. only it sounds like "your plugs" to me and not air.... but i guess that makes little sense in the song .. just jolly good your plugs...

[@azumarill1403]

@@yvindnilsen94 Yeah I hear it too, but I got the lyrics from the in-game subtitles, in the game it says "really good", maybe the subtitles aren't so accurate? I don't know. 😅

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

I can’t believe they pulled off such a good interactive song in 1997!

[@Brockm4n]

And it has never been does this well since.

[@WannaTradePants]

I don't speak a single word of German, but I can only assume these users are discussing the fact that this song was cut from non-English versions of the game because of the rhyming jokes.

[@countluke2334]

Yes! I know all the Monkey Island games back and forth! I have all versions of MI1 from the VGA to the remastered version and including the rare SVGA CD version, but I never knew this gem existed.

[@tomc5547]

To think this has the voice actor that did Scrooge McDuck makes this even better.

[@countluke2334]

Which one? Haggis?

[@masedaace5473]

Yep!

[@hazelhazelton1346]

Bless me bagpipes!

[@musizlover2008]

Hey, when they sing the words "A pirate i was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the sea!" the tune sounds a lot similar to LeChuck's Theme.

ha! when I heard this in my youth, I learned that nothing rhymes with orange.

Not half rhymes. there is no true rhyme for orange. What you said was only a half rhyme.

Best song in history

Haggis: Wir sind eine Band gefährlicher Piraten! Edward: Befahren das Meer, wie du siehst! Bill: Sobald du unser sanftes Singen hörst… Haggis: … drehst du dich sicher um und fliehst! Guybrush: Oh, das ist einfach nur lächerlich! Guybrush: Kommt schon, Männer! Wir müssen die Karte zurückerlangen! Bill: Dieser Pirat wird fertig gemacht, wenn wir ihn in unsrer Falle fangen!

[@thesaurus9226]

What's the translation? Did they have to change much to make it german?

[@thesaurus9226]

lol i see you were also on teh german subtitled version of this song 11 years ago. They just subbed it, they didnt do a special version =(

Why can't Haggis McMutton, Cutthroat Bill, and Edward VanHelgen rhyme the word orange?

[@TheBreakingBenny]

That's the joke.

[@zacky1010]

NOTHING rhymes with orange. It's a wierd quirk of the English language.

[@johnnyw525]

Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant).

[@Lynx3106]

@PlayaAwesome Deppen? Stell dir vor, du spielst ein Spiel, und plötzlich kommt alles auf Englisch mit anderen Synchronsprechern. Übersetzen kann man einen so vielschichtigen Wortwitz nicht also haben sie das einzig mögliche getan und den Song geschnitten. Es ist aber zweifellos ein Jammer
