Skip to 2:40 or so (-3:50ish) for the songy-goodness. My fav clip from the whole Monkey Island series. Make sure and catch the end of it, for the extra funny.

I'm very surprised this is your favourite bit from the Monkey Island series, I personally find it long winded and short on actual hilarity. Many funnier bits to be found in this series as far as I'm concerned.

Still, one of the greatest adventure game series of all time.

Monkey Island 2 was the best of them... The original creator, whoms name escapes me, wasn't even part of this one... But still... MI is MI, and MI still rules!

Ron Gilbert was the original creator. Still, I like CMI quite a bit, even though Gilbert wasn't involved. It's only at Escape From Monkey Island where the series failed. (In my eyes.) But Gilbert is still interested in making a 5th game to finish off the story and finally reveal "The Secret." Hopefully he will one day . . .

Competition on the Sift is really cut-throat
But I love this song so I'll give it an upvote

I saw this in the shop the very next day after watching this... bought it again

If you do want to whip this one out of the cupboard, I recommend a great program called ScummVM. It emulates the running environment for the old Lucasarts games, and quite easy to use too.

(Maybe now they'll also get me joke, too)

Yeah, ScummVM is great. You can always use DOSBox if that fails.

Here's the chords and lyrics for you prospecting musicians
A PIRATE I WAS MEANT TO BE
Capo II

[Am]
We're a band of vicious pirates!
A sailin´ out to sea.
When you hear our gentle singing...
You'll be sure to turn and flee!
[F] [E]
Oh, this is just ridiculous.

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

[Am]
Come on, men! We've got to recover that map!
[F] [E] [Am] [A7]
That pirate will be done for, when he falls into our trap!
[Dm]
We're a club of tuneful rovers!

We can sing in every clef!
[Am]
We can even hit the high notes!

It's just too bad we're tone deaf!
[E] [F]
A pirate I was meant to be!
[C] [E]
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

[Am]
Let's go defeat that evil pirate!
[F] [E] [Am] [A7]
We know he's sure to lose, ´cause we know just where to fire at!

[Dm]
We're thieving balladeers.

A gang of cutthroat mugs.
[Am]
To fight us off ye don't need guns!

Just jolly good ear plugs!

[E] [F]
A pirate I was meant to be!
[C] [E]
Trim the sails and roam the sea!

Bridge: [F] [C] [E] ×3

All right, crew, let's get to work!
Our vocation's a thing we love
A thing we'd never shirk!
We'll fight you in the harbor.
We'll battle you on land.
But when you meet singing pirates...
They'll be more than you can stand.
Oh! That was a good one!
No, it wasn't.

No time for song! We've got to move!
The battle will be long,
But our courage we will prove!
We're a pack of scurvy seadogs
Have we pity? Not a dram
We all eat roasted garlic
Then sing from the diaphragm.

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

Less singing, more sailing.
When we defeat our wicked foe,
His ship he will be bailing!
If ye try ta fight us
You will get a nasty whackin'!
If ya disrespect our singin'
We will feed ya to a kraken!

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

I'm getting so sick of you guys and your rhyming.
We're ready to set sail,
though the cannons need a-priming.
We're troublesome corsairs!
And we've come to steal your treasures!
We would shoot you on the downbeat
But we have to rest five measures.

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

Stop! Stop! Stop!
The brass is what we'll polish
And the deck is what we'll mop.

You say you're nasty pirates...
Scheming, thieving, bad bushwhackers?
From what I've seen I tell you
You're not pirates! You're just slackers!

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

We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange.
And...!
...um...
Well...
...err...
Door hinge?
No, no...
Guess the song's over, then.
Guess so.
Hokay, back to work.
Well gee.
I feel a little guilty, now...
