Hellyeah! Land has done an awesome job on the Tales of Monkey Island soundtrack, It just creates the theme, breathes even more life into the already brilliant atmosphere and makes the game that much better! Monkey Island without his music would be like James Bond, Jaws and Indiana Jones without their instantly recognizable and iconic music; like a pie without sauce; like a rubber chicken without a pulley in the middle!

Definitely the best rendition of the theme I've heard. Wish there was a studio version ):

As long as we are talking about Monkey covers, here are two that were passed around the office a few months back:

This second one has a fair bit of bad language during the intro to the track, so cover sensitive ears! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=91259&songID=3889791

Still the best

This is close to how I'd imagine it would sound today, obviously not as Metal, but the main riff I always imagined it being done on a Slide Guitar/Lap Steel as when tuned right they can give off a pretty surfer/caribbean feel.
