Favourite Monkey Island Theme

MusicallyInspiredMusicallyInspired
edited July 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
Way too many selections for a poll, but what's your favourite music theme from all the MI games? I realize many people would choose the main theme itself so let's have a little fun and keep that one off-limits! ;)

So as awesome as it is, pick any theme at all other than the main theme! Mine would have to be either the following the shopkeeper/Melee Island woods theme or the VooDoo woman/Monkey Island catacombs theme (both from SMI). Can't really decide which. They're both very catchy.

    if you by theme mean like puzzles then I'm really into everything I guess... they're all such great fun that if I can I want to say EVERY, save for that lame Monkey Kombat thing.

    I really liked the Barbershop and the Puerto Pollo themes from MI3.

    In fact I liked all the music from MI3, I think it had the best music in the whole series.

    No, I'm talking about the music.

    I love the music at the very end of MI2. Creepy and epic.
    Runner up: the Phatt Island theme.

    I'd have to pick the ending music for MI 2 as well, it was such a perfect note to end the game on (pun intended!).

    I'm not sure which is my favorite, but I love the Scumm Bar theme.

    The first music I ever heard from any Monkey Island game was the MI2 title theme through a PC speaker, and even now I still like that version! Beep beep beep!

    I'm in love with pretty much any music from Monkey Island 1 - 3, CoMI is my fave though.

    LeChucks theme is awesome, after seeing this thread I've had it constantly in my head.

    A toss up between the Eliane Marley theme , and Largo Theme, of the originals. I love all of CMI though .

    Besides the main theme, i think the introduction to scabb island (right when guybrush is telling his story to the pirates) its a beatiful melody, along with the banjo notes in CMI, when you have to chose the difficulty level.
    Both of them are kind of blue and mellancolic, i love them.

    I like the smuggler's theme in Andre's cave, in CMI, when Guybrush is playing poker to get the diamond. Spooky, dark, interesting. Likewise the background music pretty much everywhere on Blood Island.

    Someone just had to post a thread like this, didn't they? Surely they must have realised that it would cause me to spend the next 2 hours listening to all of the the Soundtracks all over again XD

    Every god damn theme from Monkey Island is great, but i especially love the Le Chuck's one. I've thought about somehow coering it a thousand time and always got way too lazy, but god, this has to be one of the greatest theme ever.
    I actually love most of those old lucasart themes (sam and max had a lot of awesome stuff, and the ennio morricone rip off from outlaw was pretty well done), especially in those old "crapy" MIDI versions. Usually hate MIDI but I dunno, this crap sound just seems to fit them so well.

    The rollercoaster chase from the end of Monkey 3, and Largo's theme from Monkey 2, are favorites of mine.

    Even though it is one of the more anonymous tracks from the Monkey Island game, the one track I find myself whisteling to the most is the Scabb Island map-theme.

    Also, I like the music in the Goodsoup hotel in CMI and the Cementary theme from MI2.

    The music in the Goodsoup hotel is really nostalgic and melancholic. Kinda like the feeling of the whole island. I love it

    I love the MI2 main theme music, it always has me doing a little Monkey Island dance. The chef/carpenter theme from MI2 is also good, but only when it has the washboard noise.

    Woodtick, Captain Dread, and the main theme are probably my favourites.

    Plunder Island - Puerto Pollo is one of my favorite themes ever in a game. It's so relaxing and really brings you into the game. If I'm listening to it outside the game I'll immediately envision that area and just feel relaxed and happy.

    Lechuck's theme is also awesome and extremely effective. Whenever I hear the music I get a bit rattled as if I have to go through the end of the SoMI sequence quickly before he punches me :D

    I Love woodtick theme, on all variations, especially the one you get when you enter Largo's room, which is basically his theme, but in a lower key. When I realized that, I really understood how amazing the score for this game is.
    other favorites of mine are the smuggler's cave music, which, for some reason, whenever i hear it, I think about a saw.:confused: go figure.
    I also liked the captain rottingham's music you hear when you talk to him at the barbershop.
    Oh, and of course, the music for The Underground Tunnels in MI2, especially the beginning of it, and the way it eases in. The music you get when you and wally are "hanging out" in MI2 is also very good. in CMI, the beginning tune when you're in the quicksand (very Caribbean-esque). Oh, who am i kidding? I'd like the whole soundtrack from MI2 and 3 to be played at my funeral. :D

    idk of it's the best but the most nostalgic for me is when you start up SoMI and watch the intro

    The main theme is off-limits. What's your favourite theme BESIDES the main theme?

    The them that goes 'la laaa la la la la la laaaa', the title escapes me.

    And Stan's theme, of course.

    -LeChuck's Theme (especially in MI2)
    -Woodtick
    -Largo's Theme
    -Booty Island's Shop
