What makes this even more impressive is that Sam was holding his breath for 10 minutes while playing this! 😲

its the opposite way .... breathe - then the tune will breathe too ;) no offend I still like it but it could bring this tune to life

@EISENKEILER The joke is related to the main character of the game series (Guybrush Threepwood) and a couple memorable game moments from this old (what others would call classic) point and click. I think the game series was finished off actually quite recently, maybe even this year? I haven’t checked the date but there’s new artwork and even voiceovers for the rereleased original.

I can imagine a co-op with some people who will go along with the melody and punch in the famous quotes in a line of " THRRRRREEEPWOOOOOD!", "Hi, im selling these fine leather jackets!?", "You fight like dairy farmer" and an appropriate riposte etc.
