Choicest VGM - VGM #96 - The Secret of Monkey Island - Mêlée Island



Original Soundtrack composed by: Michael Land, Barney Jones, Andy Newell and Patric Mundy

This track plays when Guybrush travels around the starting island, Mêlée Island. It's a pretty groovy tune that always gets me tapping my toes as Guybrush meanders along the island's trails. Consequently it's also the track you hear before insult sword-fighting the numerous pirates you ambush. Here are some of my favourites:

You fight like a dairy farmer!
How appropriate! You fight like a cow!

Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!
First you better stop waving it about like a feather duster.

People fall at my feet when they see me coming!
Even BEFORE they smell your breath?

I once owned a dog that was smarter than you.
He must have taught you everything you know.

There are no words for how disgusting you are.
Yes there are. You just never learned them.

My handkerchief will wipe up your blood!
So you got that job as janitor, after all.

I got this scar on my face during a mighty struggle!
I hope now you've learned to stop picking your nose.

I've heard you are a contemptible sneak.
Too bad no one's ever heard of YOU at all.

Thanks to the Monkey Island Wiki for the quotes.
