It's absolutely true that DKC music was often based on / inspired by excisting tracks. Like Ice Theme from DKC2 was based on Antartica by.. forgot the name.. It was in the other thread running here on the forums ^^

But that's inspiration, it's different from plagiarism!

wait till you see this youtube video i found of beethoven sampling daft punk for his unfinished tenth symphony, and then the related videos of the progression of art as a dialogue among creators

Sort of a reverse situation, but there's a part of FF5's "Battle on the Big Bridge" that has almost exactly the same chords as the intro to "Hotel California" by the Eagles.

Only one chord is totally different, another is just the relative minor in FF5. Cool eh?

...That's it, now someone has to remix Battle on the Big Bridge in the style of The Eagles.
