Track List for Monkey Island:

I'm sorry, but there is no album called 'Monkey Island' by The J. Geils Band. The closest thing would be the video game soundtrack for 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge,' which was not performed by The J. Geils Band. Therefore, I am unable to provide you with a list of tracks and their descriptions as requested.
