The Adventuress

Fun with Microsoft Sam

by Amber on March 2nd, 2006

I was sitting at work, bored as usual, and had a jaunty tune stuck in my head. The tune just happened to be from The Curse of Monkey Island. Why was it in my head? I really have no idea. There’s usually a large number of songs stuck in my head when I’m bored at work and that’s the one it happened to be.

Then I remembered, hey, I have an adventure gaming site… and hey! Monkey Island is an adventure game! And… huh? What can I do with this music that’s stuck in my head so that I may share it with all of my faithful viewers?!

I CAN USE MICROSOFT SAM TO SING TO ME!

So, being the dork that I am, I found an mp3 recorder that would record Microsoft Sam singing the fine tunes of The Curse of Monkey Island to me. My life is just a little brighter now.

And guess what? I’ve found a place to put said mp3s and now you, TOO, can listen to the wondrous orchestra that is Microsoft Sam. Aren’t you excited?!

Now, without further ado-doo, Microsoft Sam:

Wooden Leg, Restless Heart
There’s a Monkey in My Pocket
Plunder on My Mind
Silver’s Long Johns
I’ve Got a Friend in the Ocean

Yes, I am fully aware that I am a complete dork. Thank you for pointing that out!

[thank you microsoft for the wonder that is microsoft sam. without him, my life would be empty and dark.]

    I was curious about which program you used to record Sam. I’ve tried everything google has given me, but nothing. Please and thank you. :)

    Heather,
    I do not know which program ‘he/she’ used to record it, but I do know that you can easely record Microsoft Sam TTS, or anything that is currently playing on the computer, with any record program

    For example: GoldWave
    (http://www.goldwave.com/)
    You can get a free trial.

    Do note that your recording device has to be Stereo Mix.

    Hope this helps you

    Good luck
    -Kaleh Au’e
