Monkey Island theme

Sorry for acting goofy. It`s too warm outside today. This is a "monkey island theme" cover. I used to play this game when I was younger. My bro and me spent hours together while playing it. And I loved it. And still do. It is part of my childhood and I love to think about this time in my life. :) Have fun!
There seems to be a heated-up debate on what I say in the beginning of the video. To release you all from wondering: "You never know how to begin a video. It's kinda awkward, you just sit here and then...go!" :-D It's Swiss German. So I'm Swiss. Enjoy!

[@mazeppa7965]

That’s the second best whistle I’ve ever heard!

[@DevonPalmer98]

What's the first because I would assume it's the one from the good the bad and the ugly.

[@DevonPalmer98]

I completely forgot that line, I guess I should replay the entire series.

[@Affenhirte]

DevBob98 We all should! And I will start this week again :D

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

To this day I still don't get that joke...

[@Taurwathwylth]

+Devon Palmer +Mazeppa79 I guess it might be Roger Whittaker performing the roots revival folk piece by the name Finnish Whistler! Or on the other hand one guy from the Finnish show quartets either Kivikasvot or Four Cats, I forget which one was it and who the guy actually is. Well, that wasn't of much help. But check out Roger Whittaker! This Monkey Island whistling video is also great!

Every year I come back to this to smile for a few minutes, since.. 10 years ago? Thanks, really.

Still the best cover of the Monkey Island theme. No contest. Absolute gem of a video. Thank you.

[@DaveControlLive]

I love the fact you can whistle this on tune at the same time as playing it. That's some skill!

The whistling is amazing, and very harmonious with the guitar... one of my favourite covers of the Monkey Island theme! I watched this video years ago and I still love it :D

[@MinekEzQM]

I shed a tear... Thank you very much for this awesome interpretation.

[@helgemeyer8363]

I love this: I can sit in northern Germany practicing my programming skills - like the nerd that I am - and at the same time listen to a girl from Switzerland beautifully playing the music from one of my favourite computer games, which was made in the US and is set in the Carribbean. Life in this world can be so great!

Every now and then I remember this song (I never played the game) and I watch this video and think to myself... Thank you. For this. 10 years ago, I really needed this whistling guitar song... This is weird, I know... But that't what it is. Thank you for this.

Just casually dropping an absolute banger. Don't mind her.

I was okay, then you started whistling, now this is the best cover ever. Ennio Moricone would be proud.

I still come back to this cover every few years. Probably my favorite videogame song, performed beautifully.

Great job! MI is one of my all time favorite games. Such a great soundtrack. I wish I could whistle like you!

What can I say? You whistle like a dairy farmer? Soon you'll be wearing my guitar like a shish-kebab? My last music piece ended with my hands covered with blood? People fall at my feet when they see me playing? How appropriate, you play like a cow? I once owned a dog, who was a better guitar player than you? Nah, enough of that. That was nicely played and whistled. I can't believe your musicality.

[@VestinVestin]

>"Soon you'll be wearing my guitar like a shish-kebab?" I'd still play it like that and make wenches sob. >"My last music piece ended with my hands covered with blood?" T'was a papercut, but surely murder's your façade! >"People fall at my feet when they see me playing?" Oh, I bet they do. For mercy they're praying. >"I once owned a dog, who was a better guitar player than you?" I've heard of that mutt. Was he your father too?
