What really makes this moment is that until that point ideas either got you nowhere or through any given puzzle; you'd keeping jumping from problem to solution. This is where the game says "Using the oar as a stepping stone is moderately clever, but it was never meant to withstand such stress, and once you put your entire weight on it, it snaps, you fall, and bash the back of your head against the stone step for good measure". Then, before the player can finish shouting "HOLY SHIT!", you get this delirious scene. The pacing is what makes it.
This scene was so wild to experience as a kid. Like, the comedy of the entire bone dance is perfect, then zombie LeChuck showing up. *The music build* in that sequence is perfect...the spooky bit, the rapid piano, the added drumbeat as the pacing increases, and suddenly LECHUCK'S THEME. Emotional high point of the game for little me who adored The Secret of Monkey Island.
Terrible rendition compared to this even with the cringe voices turned off, I would keep a saved game here just for replaying it in 1992.....And whatever recorder-sounding instrument they used in the intro and elsewhere of the special edition is irritating to listen to.
I was really excited to see this in the Special Edition remake but, sadly, they butchered it. It's actually much more fun in the original. The music is catchier and I think it works better without the lyrics.
@marvelswe *SPOILERS* although in lechuck's fortress, once I get the first door right, the remaining 3 ones spawn in a room with only one door so that only door is always right, at least 3 times outta 5
@marvelswe I don't know if I said it right, I meant that 3 times out of 5 you get in a room with only one door (which is of course the right one) but other times you may spawn in a room with 2/3 doors and you gotta enter the right one (as the puzzle was intended to be, the "one door" instance isn't really a bug but it detracts the difficulty if you didn't still get how to surpass the maze)
At least in the original game they used the original model from the first game... in the SE they just shoved Guybrush's head on top of his old body. :(
@zummone You were too late, man. As an April fools joke they added a 1911 mode on RUclips videos. You clicked the button and everything looked like an old silent movie. Yellowish, scratch lines, jumping image and no sound other than piano score. :)
@HarryMatic Yes, but you've got an MT-32 in far better shape than mine =( which is a rev01 close to getting at max 16 partials, that is like the half of its capacity =((( I know this is amiss right now, but would you consider running a couple of midis I'd really like to listen at full power? pleeeeaaaseee??
lechuck is guybrush's creepy brother chucky!!!!!!i finished the game!!!MOST COOL EVER,pluss guybrush makes voodoo doll of lechuck and tears its leg off!!! GO GUYBRUSH!!!!!! 8D :)
Best part is that the music is synchronized so perfectly you can clearly hear them singing xD
I hear the word of the lord.....

And if you were more used to playing Sierra games, I'm sure you would be going "oh shit when did I last save"
this youtube video is connected to my funny bone
the funny bone's connected to the arm bone
The arm bone connected to the rib bone.
The rib bone’s connected to the leg bone
A wtf at first and an instant fave moment.
I like how they say "Yikes" and then dance their way off screen. :D
There's no better way to exit the screen after those sick moves. °~°
This was recorded from a real MT-32 in dosbox ambient, not scummvm, which doesn't quite well emulate some midi messages correctly.
this was so perfect back then. It kindof got in my head as if it was sung with voice! It was also kindof creepy

awesome sequence and awesome mt-32 version. it couldn't get any better than this.
Masterpiece, period.
PAPYRUS and sans in their early days in the gaming business.
Everything I know about biology I learned from the Monkey Island series.
Did you know, for example, that there are three-headed monkeys? 😉
Fats Waller "Dem Dry Bones" reference? What a game, awesome, a piece of my childhood
One of my fav moments from monkey 2 :)
Brilliant moment in a brilliant game!
Such an awesome song! Boy did they screw it up in the special edition though.
no they didn't
@@Sporomaniacos they could've made it better
Indeed. The voices are horrendous
Terrible rendition compared to this even with the cringe voices turned off, I would keep a saved game here just for replaying it in 1992.....And whatever recorder-sounding instrument they used in the intro and elsewhere of the special edition is irritating to listen to.
It's awesome in the special edition.
You know the composer had fun with this.
Land, Bajakian, and McConnell deserve more recognition.
Why? Why don't they make games like this anymore? Games with a soul. :(
Psychonauts 2
Roland MT-32 sure makes a difference compared to a Sound Blaster.
Thanks for the proper (MT-32) version!
🎵Zuerst musst du nach links, und dann nach rechts... Zuerst musst du nach links, und dann nach rechts🎵
a piece of history
You also got to appreciate LeChuck's remixed theme in the sequence.
OMG I so remember this scene! Lol It was a crazy game but such an excellent one! ;))
Threepwood is like "WTF? O_O"
this video needs more views.
Wow Guybrush, you're hilarious! XD
I used to sing that song alot as a kid...my biology teacher was not a fan XD

No way! They totally did it justice!
mt-32 sounded fkkin amazing for the time
Essentially a Grateful Dead pastiche, now that I think about it
Banger
Can't wait for the Special Edition.
@marvelswe *SPOILERS* although in lechuck's fortress, once I get the first door right, the remaining 3 ones spawn in a room with only one door so that only door is always right, at least 3 times outta 5
what a cool sound design
I'll be honnest, I much prefer this old version to the new remade one with voice acting.
@marvelswe I don't know if I said it right, I meant that 3 times out of 5 you get in a room with only one door (which is of course the right one) but other times you may spawn in a room with 2/3 doors and you gotta enter the right one (as the puzzle was intended to be, the "one door" instance isn't really a bug but it detracts the difficulty if you didn't still get how to surpass the maze)
Mad but awesome
Can't decide if this is a funny dream or a surreal nightmare.
now dats spooky
Big Lipped Alligator Moment!
Yeah that's not gonna traumatize any children...
Un amico era appassionato ci passava le nottate XD
Idem
Thanks I needed to see this for a Gif project of mine.
I was brought here by King's Quest 6.
Looks like something out of a Disney Classic
NONE OF THOSE ARE CONNECTED
No shit sherlock
lechuck's theme is dark here!
Quick, try out the 1911 mode for this, it's PERFECT!
At least in the original game they used the original model from the first game... in the SE they just shoved Guybrush's head on top of his old body. :(
@pkthunder3 Actually, the song is vital for a puzzle later on and also hints towards the ending of the game.
Very nice!
It sounds too good
Now hear the Word of the Lord!
it wouldn't so bad if they took turns singing
Spoopy
Wow, what a dream!
awesomingly awesome

You can turn off the voice acting in the Special Edition when playing in the classic mode.
aapstertjie I agree but the special edition is still an adiquite game
@ReginaldMaulding Well..leg and hip are.
@HarryMatic Yes, but you've got an MT-32 in far better shape than mine =( which is a rev01 close to getting at max 16 partials, that is like the half of its capacity =(((
I know this is amiss right now, but would you consider running a couple of midis I'd really like to listen at full power? pleeeeaaaseee??
yeah!
@zummone Huh, never knew that. Still, the song is a hint on where to go :P
was this using the scummvm mt-32 emulation or is this an actual mt-32 being used?
@zummone
It was everywhere. :)
Wow how dank
cool
"but i thought you abandoned me!" so guybrush was an orphan?
Nope! It's foretells MI2's ending sequence. ;)
@@user-ut5ki2fi6b yep it is a theme park :)
@zummone
It was all over RUclips. :)
@pkthunder3 More like zig-zagged, if zummone is right.
@Mrster I didn't see a thing yesterday!
The ones in the first verse are, the ones in the second verse aren't.
@marvelswe sure seems like at first though. So it's averted then?
Better than that awful remake but at least you can toggle off the remake for the original.
You haven't played the game I think? ;)
anybody know where i can get the original version of this game? not the awful remake
You can extract the original version's files from the not completely awful remake, using some tools.
lechuck is guybrush's creepy brother chucky!!!!!!i finished the game!!!MOST COOL EVER,pluss guybrush makes voodoo doll of lechuck and tears its leg off!!!
GO GUYBRUSH!!!!!! 8D :)
What was that first song ?
