edited December 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
Hey guys,

I know I'm running late with the MI tribute for this month. This is why I'm having this special release thinga-ma-bob in which you tell me what you would like to see, in the form of a song of course.
My brother and I worked out some ideas but we don't have enough time for them... so, bring it on! Give us your ummm most practical ideas regarding what/who would like like to see in the fourth tribute brought by yours trully.

Cheers!

    An massive forum-musical maybe? There is a song you make, an everybody shall film himself, lipsynching the song. And then you cut them together.

    nice idea Majus, I do enjoy the videos where, if this is the idea you meant, there are about 10 people a second, the only problem would be that in those everyone's head must be almost absolutely centred.

    The Guilty until proven innocent blues? Hangman's corner cell? Mad Decapitated Marty!? Sing, Burst into song! A Tap Dancing Stan? Judge DJ Death? No Ideas?

    You could do a song sung by Murray about how he will take over the world... some day.

    Or something about the Elaine - Guybrush - Morgan love triangle.

    Or perhaps a song by Winslow about his love of
    maps.

    the Pirate I was Meant to Be song I wrote! :P It would require very little as far as cinematography goes, just Murray, Winslow, Morgan and Guybrush singing :P

    I just remembered, Winslow is black. It'd be difficult to portray him clearly since you're white. Maybe if you do something with him in, you could have a name tag saying "Van Winslow" or something (and the moustache/green clothes would help of course).

    Some green facepaint and a quick sketch about poxed pirates? Or maybe just some messing up with the hue on your camera and dramatic lighting.

    I think doing the original "A Pirate I Was Ment To Be" song would be just plain epic.

    I liked Majus's idea. Maybe something like "The Ballad of Guybrush Threepwood"?

    Dunno if there's enough time to put such a large community thing together. Maybe an idea for next months tribute?

    I'll repost since I can't find the old thread

    Morgan: We're a band of vicious pirates!
    Murray: A sailin´ out to sea.
    Winslow: When you hear our gentle singing...
    Murray: You'll be sure to turn and flee! Muahahahaha.

    Guybrush: Oh, this is just ridiculous.

    Guybrush: Come on, men! We've got to get rid of that pox!
    Winslow: The sponge will be no use if the winds wont let us dock!

    Morgan: We're a troupe of rogue swashbucklers!
    Winslow: We can dance and we can sing!
    Murray: We torture and we kill!
    Winslow: But for Merfolk we don't swing! ... Often

    All: A pirate I was meant to be!
    All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!

    Guybrush: We need to get the sponge to Elaine!
    Murray: LeChuck will rue the day, he's never felt such pain!

    Morgan: We're fast and we are nimble.
    Winslow: We set up secret traps.
    Morgan: My blade is sharper than my wit!
    Winslow: I like pointing at my map!

    All: A pirate I was meant to be!
    All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!

    Guybrush: All right, crew, let's get to work!
    Winslow: Our vocation is a thing we love, a thing we'd never shirk.

    Morgan: We'll fight you in the harbor.
    Winslow: We'll battle you on land.
    Morgan: But if you try to cross our paths
    Murray: I'll gnaw the fingers off your hand!.

    Morgan: Ooooh! That was a good one!
    Guybrush: Ew. No, it wasn't.

    Guybrush: Elaine has the pox! We've got to move!
    Morgan: The battle will be long, but our courage we will prove!

    Winslow: We an odd quartet of sailors!
    Murray: We're female, man and bone!
    Morgan: We'll introduce you to our blades...
    Murray: ...and we will make you die alone! Mwahahahaha!

    All: A pirate I was meant to be!
    All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!

    Guybrush: Stop, we're wasting time!
    Winslow: I have to say cap'n, your cooking is sublime.

    Guybrush: You claim you're vicious pirates...
    Guybrush: ...quick and fast, you cause alarm?
    Guybrush: But you sing and dance, not shoot and kill...
    Guybrush: ...And you, you have no arms!

    Murray: Hey!

    All: A pirate I was meant to be!
    All: Trim the sails and roam the sea!

    Guybrush: I hope I don't drop the sponge into the murky depths.
    Winslow: And...!
    Morgan: ...um...
    Murray: Well...
    Winslow: ...err...
    Murray: Breasts?
    Winslow: No, no...
    Morgan: Guess the song's over, then.
    Winslow: Guess so.
    Morgan: Okay, back to work.
    Murray: Wait! I wasn't done singing yet! C'mon guys let's keep going. ... Guys?

    I say if you don't have the time, don't do a tribute. Quality's better then quantity.

    Or you could film yourself walking into the room in your pajamas eating chips, stare at the camera and say, "Mihai, were we supposed to make another Monkey Island tribute?"
    Mihai enters room in curlers, "Didn't we make one already?"
    Search pc "One, two, three ... three."
    Look at each other, "AAAAAAH!"
    Rush to get into your costumes. SWP in Guybrush jacket and Stan hat. Mihai in Stan jacket and Guybrush ponytail. Switch, SWP in stan jacket and hat, Mihai in Guybrush jacket and ponytail. Switch again, SWP in monkeyologist mustache and Plustard hat, Mihai in pink dress.
    SWP, "You look good in pink"
    Mihai, "Thanks."
    SWP, "This is all wrong though. We can't rehash the same routine over and over again! We have to keep it fresh, do something different, original! I know! Puppets!"
    Then you sing DeLuca's song with sock puppets of Murray, Morgan, Winslow and Guybrush. Fin.

    Or the Morgan - Guybrush - Elaine - LeChuck love square.

    I think it's more of a love line.

    Guybrush doesn't seem interested in Morgan, and Elaine is probably not interested in Le Chuck.

    If you don't forgo earning a living, paying rent, eating and sleeping then you aren't a real fan. :p

    Seriously, if you get it out a couple of weeks late I think we can "forgive" you.
