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.
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
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.
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 🙂
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.
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 !
@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!
BRUTAL! , pongo mi comentario en español, increíble técnica, trabajo y ejecución. Mi mas sincera enhorabuena a los artistas, mil gracias por hacer que la música se convierta en magia.
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!!!!
Girl playing the accordion is amazing!!! best thing i ever heard! i wish you could stand outside my aparment and play in these dark times with quarantine and corona!
+OhFishyFish That's because I don't have any new content :D . Just my concert and thats it! Well..maybe someday more, but I really can't afford a new concert from my own pocket.
Honestly I think this performance is the best version on TH-cam. Can't wait for Return to Monkey Island

floppy's are good as well hehehe th-cam.com/video/akJSqg720TE/w-d-xo.html
same game other song..th-cam.com/video/9JS2gVRBEhE/w-d-xo.html
my words precisely!
That’s the second best rendition of this music I’ve ever heard.
Best performance of Monkey Island theme so far, specially with Jojo's song at the beginning (the unofficial Monkey Island anthem ❤)
L'art, c'est un geste effectué avec plus d'habileté et d'innovation que la norme. Monkey island c'est de l'art.
I just had teardrops listening to this. Old memories. Many many thanks...
Good to hear, that i'm not the only one. :)
onions everywhere
Sounds stupid... but me too!
I played The Secret of Monkey Island about twelve times between age 8 and 12 😊
Haha I’m not the only one 😅
Don't cry you are a full growth adult.
Seems like we're both crying! And we are not the only ones, I'm certain...
❤
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.
I'm not crying! You're crying!
(.........😭😢😭)
Not yet im 17!!

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
The starting part with the solist accordion is ♥
I think this is possibly one of, if not THE best version of this.
This is the second best version I've ever heard.

The Floppotron version is somewhere in my top-3
If only we could get a version that isn't stretched and small on full-screen :(
The arrangement is perfect. Recording, levels and EQ etc are also pro degree. Can be used in an original release
Congrats!!! Ron Gilbert recommend this cover on his blog!!!
Holy hell! I have to check this out
I could listen to this accordion introduction all day long.

I am rubber, you are glue.
Im shaking, im shaking!
Hadyn Clark How appropriate! You fight like a cow.
Hadyn Clark you fight like a dairy farmer 🐮?
wrong game...
Glad to hear you attended your family reunion!
2017 and We still love You, Girl playing the accordion.
I'm selling these fine leather jackets..
You can buy those bird cage liners from the guy across the street or you can buy an actual map from me
@@crimsontide1980
Hey, that's not a map, that are dancing instructions!
Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?
Great. Now there's an image of a banana on a metronome in my head.
Michael Z Land is a genius writing music. His legacy with the Monkey Island OSTs is brutal.
Ask me about Loom™.
Loom was truly an epic game of that time.
I don't want people always asking me about Grim Fandango...
How about this new Loom™ game?
@@blady51797 Geeze, what an obvious sales speech.
Aye
I love listening to the accordion. This is fantastic!
This is so beautiful it literally pushes tears in my eyes. Song of Jojo is like life itself.
harmony - first 2 minutes is BEST !! gratulations !!!
Absolutely beautiful rendition of a wonderfully nostalgic song. Kudos to the orchestra.
I come back here from long time to long time just by browsing youtube, every time I visit I forget this video existed. Cool GAME cool music.
Cool music, I browsed comments and surprisingly I saw my comment :D
Noice
Vibing
Anyone else here :)
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!
That is an unbelievably good approach to the themes, brought back chills and tears from my youth. Thanks for this piece of art!
4 people couldn't hold their breath for 10 min, and are pissed ;-)
Why am I still crying listening to this after 8 years?...
Always a pleasure to listen those songs! It brings me 30 years in the past... Very very nice job of all the orchestra!!!
That's the second biggest interpretation i've ever heard !!
Love the reference of it only being the SECOND biggest :)
Where is the first rendition?
EXCELLENT !!!!
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
Very nice, the best version of the best theme ever! 👌
Of all the interpretations and arrangements on youtube, this could be the top best !
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.
Aww Sweetie, am here with you. 😊🤗
I come back here from long time to long time just by browsing youtube, every time I visit I forget this video existed. Cool GAME cool music.
I just keep visiting....
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 !
Must've watched this 20 times or more now..
This brings a big smile upon my face. Thank you very much 👍🏻🫶
imho this is the best orchestral arrangement from monkey island. Love it and listen to it since years. The people are great.
I heavily borrowed from another that I saw in youtube, if I could just remember what it was...
oh, the Metropole orchestra, that's what it was.
This is probably the second best version of the Monkey Island theme I've ever heard.
Whomever that is on the accordion, you are AMAZING. I want more.
@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!
We're waiting for the bigger band...
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.
What a gem I’ve stumbled upon
brought I tear to my eye, these games have a big spot in my teen age years. This brought it all back, loved it!
Girl playing the accordion, I love you. That is all.
I told her, now she knows. You big smooth talker you.
***** Melody is the only word that explain such a sound.
au ya !
thats her name?
Nope, and let's keep her name a secret ;) . I have told her of your sweet words, and she was very flattered.
That girl was killing it
One of the greatest Songs ever, very nice version!
Amazing interpretation! Made me remember...old amazing memories!
BRUTAL! , pongo mi comentario en español, increíble técnica, trabajo y ejecución.

Has to be my most favourite tune ever, remember playing this when i was around 10, the gameplay and the music was sublime!
Soon we will hear it again in the next Monkey island adventure
Holy crap, wasn't expecting this good ! Guybrush Threepwood, the mighty pirate! :)
The best faithful arrangement I've heard. Awesome
I love that theme! And your cover is amazing!
Sono senza parole! Bravissimi! Che sensazioni una vecchia canzone di un videogioco resa un capolavoro!
Girl playing the accordion is amazing!!! best thing i ever heard! i wish you could stand outside my aparment and play in these dark times with quarantine and corona!
Ahoy there! Very well done👍 literally one of the greatest piece among game soundtracks
Great!
Fancy seeing you here! Still waiting for that Better Call Saul remix! 😅
@@arvindhmani06 indians bhi khelte kya monkey Island?
The beginning simple, almost comic. Like a rusty squeezebox. Damn I love the accordian!! I want more!! Whoever she is, she deserves a mention. 👍
OMG, well done guys! I literally have tears in my eyes right now.
You guys absolutely nailed it. Great performance!!!
Absolutely amazing arrangement to a great theme. Well done, you have great talent. Well recorded too.
"I can't believe he didn't cry during Titanic. Do men even have feelings?"

This is amazing... Thank you so much for the post.
This brought tears to my eyes. You sound just like a Roland LAPC-1, and that's a compliment! Brilliant, bless you from Greece. :)
Mi madre pensaba que estaba perdiendo el tiempo mientras que yo estaba sumergiéndome en una alucinante aventura!
Congrats Janne! It's a wonderfull version!! I love that game!!

Some of the best music ever made for a game! By far my favorite theme of all time
Wow, good memories!! Missed that song
impossible to not like this. great performance!
You are amazingggg.I love this game ,and ı love this song .Thank you so much :)

Oh my god. Made me almost cry a tear of joy 🥲
Best arrangement on the web for this song.
I just can't get enough..top!!
Aaaaah.....
I absolutely LOVSe this...
This song gives me the chills, regardless of which version. Even as 8 bit.
Amazing performance! A bit surprising ending though :) I love the accordion girl's playing very very much!
Ah Monkey Island, the only game that mad me rethink my decision to join the circus and alternatively love fettuccini. Beautifully played!
That was so brilliant!
You are absolutely amazing, subscribed. I don't understand why you videos don't have million views each.
+OhFishyFish
That's because I don't have any new content :D . Just my concert and thats it! Well..maybe someday more, but I really can't afford a new concert from my own pocket.

It brings tears to my eyes!
Me encantó. Congrats!
