Here is a pretty good metal cover version of the Zak McKracken theme by MASTER BOOT RECORD: [Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders](https://soundcloud.com/masterbootrecordmusic/zak).

This is one of my favourite covers (I think it’s also quite well known):

I’ve listened to it 5 times and I still don’t understand it. Must be a very thick Scottish accent or something.

It’s Swiss German 😃  
It’s easier once you **know** it’s German (assuming someone understands German).

Unfortunatly, understanding German doesn’t help me too much 🙂 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 I’m German, that’s easier to understand for me 🙂  
But nevertheless i like the dialect. it’s just difficult to understand for someone not from the region. So if anyone here has learned German only in school, please don’t get frustrated by the video 😉

When hearing it the first time the only clue for me it may be German was when she said “Los!” (Go!) at the end. I didn’t understand **anything** before (the first time at least). 🙂

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

Don’t worry, living in Zurich doesn’t help either 😛 I’ve been living more than six years there and I’m still struggling with their dialect.

I understood something like “you never know when such videos should start, isn’t it?” but the second sentence is still going over my head. It doesn’t seem to be a Zurich accent, so I can’t do anything about it 😛 any Swiss Germans here to help?

Loose translation may be something like:  
"You never know how to begin such a video, right? It’s awkward, just sitting there… go!  
At least that’s what I’ve heard.

Oh, there’s a translation in the video 😛 well, it was a nice Swiss German exercise for me. I still don’t understand the “just sitting there” 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 it’s a good idea to click on ‘show more’.

She says ‘hockste da’ (hocken: slang for ‘to sit’)
