In the early '90's, Josh Mandel and I wrote words and music for Char Donay, the country music singer in Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! Josh came up with a hilarious concept: Marie, the hooker/heroine of the Police Quest games would tell her story about how she fell in love with Sonny, the star of PQ. This is the vocal version of Cell Block Love. Don't miss it!
And while you're listening, you may as well read the lyrics!

While this section appears to be "out of order," this is correct chronologically. By the way, I consider Chris Braymen one of the greatest game composers ever. Listen to how sophisticated his music sounds, even after all these years.

In the early days of computer game music, that is "before MIDI," you never knew what sort of sounds a particular brand of computer would make. Here are a few golden sounds from the early years.
|
|
Apple IIgs Theme Song, 888 kb, MP3 format. The Apple IIgs was ahead of its time. It had digital sampling. Here's what it sounded like in the 1989 release of LSL1 for the IIgs. (Sampled by Patrik Bergström) |
|
|
Tandy Theme Song, 952 kb, MP3 format. I was so happy when Tandy announced their machine would actually be able to play 3 tones at the same time! (Sampled by Patrik Bergström) |
|
|
And finally, last but least, here's the one-voice, IBM PC "tweaker" version from original, 1987, CGA, 2-floppy disk LSL1 as heard on most PCs of the day. This one really sucks! |
|
|
Several fans have sent me their arrangements of the Leisure Suit Larry theme and other music from the Larry games. Here are some of them.
| |
Patti's Love Theme arranged and rerecorded by Andy Thorley is my personal favorite of all the fan arrangements! |
| |
In November, 2006, Hat's Dirty Street Band (made up of members of the 25th Infantry Division Band of the United States Army) entered a contest for best recording of a song from a video game and won with their recording of the Leisure Suit Larry Theme! Check it out. It's got style! |

Lars Vogel sent me his own arrangement and MP3 recording of the Nontoonite song (836). Hear it here. |
|
|
Here's Larry's Theme by Billy Buzz. |
|
|
Here's another version of Larry's Theme by Samuel Sahlieh. |
|
|
Larry's Theme, MIDI format. This arrangement is by Tom Lewandowski, I believe. It starts out with a fairly traditional chorus, then breaks into full MIDI glory. |
|
|
Jonathan Yalon of HebrewQuest (yes, that's a real site) made this MP3 of the Larry Theme. |
| |
Axes Denied is a Finnish band who recorded the Larry Theme live at the 2005 Jyrkka Festival. They are Larry fans as well. Visit their site. |
| |
Here's Eve's Theme from Larry 1 VGA remixed and rerecorded by Ben Baxter. |
