Gee, I wonder how he got in there in the first place... *whistles*

Music composed by Michael Land

"Welcome to the MUTUAL OF STAN!"

Ah Stan, what's not to love about this guy? Well, okay, he is a pretty annoying salesman, but at the same time you gotta feel kind of sorry for him considering how many times Guybrush ends up conning him instead. In The Curse of Monkey Island, Stan sets up a business called "The Mutual of Stan" and operates his business from a crypt. Instead of selling used ships and coffins (like he did in The Secret of Monkey Island and LeChuck's Revenge respectively) he sells life insurance in The Curse of Monkey Island which actually works its way into one of the game's puzzles.

While I do enjoy this track and it fits Stan to a T, my favourite Stan tune has to be the one from the first game which plays when you visit his used ship emporium - gotta love that trumpet!

Thanks to zeitgestalten who recorded this audio so we can all enjoy how awesome Michael Land's soundtrack really is. Check out the website below:
