Fan-made music of Lucasfilm Games

Here is a pretty good metal cover version of the Zak McKracken theme by MASTER BOOT RECORD: Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders.

I like this Monkey Island Theme:

Iā€™ve listened to it 5 times and I still donā€™t understand it. Must be a very thick Scottish accent or something.

Itā€™s Swiss German :smiley:
Itā€™s easier once you know itā€™s German (assuming someone understands German).

Thatā€™s simple and amazing at the same time!

Unfortunatly, understanding German doesnā€™t help me too much :slight_smile: This is Swiss German after all, which differs a lot from most dialects spoken in Germany. Ususally, when I drive through Switzerland, I switch to a french radio station, because, even though Iā€™m German, thatā€™s easier to understand for me :slight_smile:
But nevertheless i like the dialect. itā€™s just difficult to understand for someone not from the region. So if anyone here has learned German only in school, please donā€™t get frustrated by the video :wink:

When hearing it the first time the only clue for me it may be German was when she said ā€œLos!ā€ (Go!) at the end. I didnā€™t understand anything before (the first time at least). :slight_smile:

Does anybody know professional musicians that remastered old music? can be any adventure game, not just Lucasfilm.

This is what I hear at work sometimes:

Donā€™t worry, living in Zurich doesnā€™t help either :stuck_out_tongue: Iā€™ve been living more than six years there and Iā€™m still struggling with their dialect.

I understood something like ā€œyou never know when such videos should start, isnā€™t it?ā€ but the second sentence is still going over my head. It doesnā€™t seem to be a Zurich accent, so I canā€™t do anything about it :stuck_out_tongue: any Swiss Germans here to help?

Loose translation may be something like:
"You never know how to begin such a video, right? Itā€™s awkward, just sitting thereā€¦ go!
At least thatā€™s what Iā€™ve heard.

Oh, thereā€™s a translation in the video :stuck_out_tongue: well, it was a nice Swiss German exercise for me. I still donā€™t understand the ā€œjust sitting thereā€ part, but it was fun to try.

Edit: I see she made a tutorial video where she explains how to play the guitar part, all in Swiss German (with English subtitles). Swiss German and Monkey Island music, this might be the best video ever.

Ohh, yeah, sometimes itā€™s a good idea to click on ā€˜show moreā€™.

She says ā€˜hockste daā€™ (hocken: slang for ā€˜to sitā€™)

Two of my favorites for Monkey Island

One simplistic and beautiful

One complex and majestic

Not Scottish for sure, but if it were, she must be saying ā€œDigginā€™ā€

This guitar+violin rendition of the MI theme is also pretty nice
